Professionals from across the global home cinema industry already rely on projectiondesign’s professional range of projectors during the VFX, grading and post production process, to ensure continuity and consistency of colour for commercials, feature length and 3D movies, documentaries and television work. We have installed projectors in several grading suites all over the world.
A few examples where we have our projectors installed:
MPC specializes in the creation of digital visual effects, HD data acquisition and post-production for the international corporate advertising and feature film industries. Recent projects to have been completed at the company’s busy facilities have included key sequences for the recently released GI Joe movie for Paramount Pictures, VFX for Coldplay’s Strawberry Swing promo video, and over 250 VFX shots for Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince, including digi-doubles, crowds and extensive cloth simulation.

We have also installed our projector in The Look, which is owned by Thomas Urbye, one of the best colourist’s in the industry.
Thomas Urbye, MD at The Look comments,
“We offer our clients a complete post production package and have the flexibility to work with a broad range of workflows for film, HD or SD video production. It was important that we chose the right projector and the right company to manage the installation. Our new suite creates a huge amount of ‘Wow Factor’ for the large screen viewing of images for our clients. Our clients can perfectly see rich, natural colours and high-resolution moving images from anywhere in the suite as there is no viewing angle issue.”

Often the most critical movie post production staff refer to the projectors’ absolute accuracy in colour calibration, outstanding image quality, size and predictability as John Frith, Senior Imaging Engineer at MPC says:
"The projectiondesign projectors are brilliantly engineered and have solved a huge challenge for us, as our visual effects and animation review suites are not large enough for the big Digital Cinema projectors. With projectiondesign, we enjoy efficient and accurate workflows without compromising on technology. The high speed colour wheel means that the rainbow effect associated with single chip projectors is virtually eliminated, and the Iris control enables us to set a very low black level, achieving an excellent contrast ratio in a dark viewing environment. Reliability wise, they have proved to be excellent. We have not had a single problem with these projectors to date."
To be able have the colour accuracy that the colourist need, we have developed RealColor, Colour accuracy, fidelity and natural reproduction of images are essential to enjoying a movie as the director intended. projectiondesign’s extensive experience in the post production segment of the feature film and movie making process has lead to the development of our proprietary calibration software designed for delivering perfect colours to our partners in the home theater market.
RealColor™ enables the correct calibration and set up of a projector to the desired professional colour standard, such as Rec709, white point and grey scale tracking.
Examples from the post production work and why calibration is important. The left side is a graded image, the right is the raw material from the camera.
