Studio booking? Manufacturers? Type of screen (matte, gain)?  |  IP: Logged Tom Sauter Expert Film Handler Posts: 163 From: Buffalo, NY, USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 08-19-2011 12:53 PM                        The screen is often overlooked as to its contribution to presentation quality, there are many factors to consider including projection type (35/digital/3D), viewing angle, audio perforations, gain, etc. DaLite, Draper, Stuart, and many other screen manufacturers are all excellent resources that you can just call, tell them what you are trying to accomplish and they can make recommendations from there. DaLite has several excellent articles in their "Angles of View" online reference series that are the best step-by-step processes I have seen.  |  IP: Logged Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 08-19-2011 04:34 PM                     Are you asking what size, manufacturer, type, or all of the above?
