OT: The Incredibles and digital projection

Just saw The Incredibles in high end TI/Technicolor DLP projection at The Bridge Cinema Deluxe in West Los Angeles.

The film certainly is a new generation in animation, astonishing 3D quality and wickedly funny and incredibly creative also.

The projection this time also seemed to have been bumped up a generation.

On the Very Large Director's Hall Screen, I couldn't see any artifacts at all.

All solids were completely smooth. Gradations perfect. Lots of light. No noise. No grain. Ultrasharp.

In short, I couldn't find anything whatsoever to complain about. Definitely preferable to film projection.

Sidenote: I also saw a trailer for another new animation film at the HD Expo last week, projected with a high end non-theater professional projector. It looked absolutely perfect in HD, even though it came from a 3.5 Mbps divx-encoded file (that's lower than typical standard definition DVD bit rates).

Next time I'd like to see them project from a film shot "live," think that will be a bit tougher.
