Well I got kinda lucky today... Here in town we have a museum that shows lots of different kinds of films on Saturdays... Today, my short film was shown after the film... It was on DVD and projected to a room of about 100 people. I was kind of worried how it would look since I shot it without an anamorphic adapter (DVX100A) and used 16X9 squeeze mode instead...
All the films shown there are on DVD with digital projection...
So there it was... Up on a fairly large screen... Not as large as a regular movie theater... Maybe a little over half that large...
Anyway, the film held up well and everyone thought it originated on film (I never told anyone it was shot on video and nobody asked). It seemed to have a little more detail than the film on DVD that was shown today...
So I'm happy... With the anamorphic adapter, it should be even nicer... Of course, this was strictly digital projection and not transferred to film but now I feel a little safer should I ever go that route...
