Recent Trends in ProjectionTechnology

HighDefinition

Audiences deserve high definition. The 16:9 wide-screen format along withfull HD resolution video and graphics provide a dynamic cinematic viewingexperience. In addition to thewide screen, true HD presentation requires HD-capable projectors, imagingsources and switchers. WB's HDpresentations are tapeless, with all graphics and video content playing backoff high-powered laptops.

WATCHOUT™ System

This is amulti-screen technology for large-scale live events and multi-screeninstallations. It combines thequalities of traditional multi-image with digital imagery, video and computertechnology. Watchout canco-ordinate multiple projectors for large, seamless images as well as monitors,video wall cubes or plasma screens in creatively integrated screenarrangements. It is an impressivebackdrop for staging. Using the system effectively requires specialized planningand content production.

3D Projection Video Mapping

This relatively newtechnology animates stationary objects with computer-controlled videoprojection. It transformsbuildings, monuments or large interior spaces into a backdrop for stunninglyrealistic projections. Mapping themotion picture content onto a 3D model of the building is the first step. Powerful synchronized projectorsdeliver a remarkable and involving experience. This technology works best at night.

Filming Interviews

2012-03-13T12:05:00.000-07:00

Interview input brings documentary video tolife with your subject’s unique personality.
Here are some good practices:

Plan everything – your location should have good acoustic andlighting control. Beware of ringingphones, traffic noise, air conditioning.
Prep your subject in advance. Ensure they are comfortable on set.
Fluorescent or LED softlights are ideal for location interviews –low power draw, minimal heat and cosmetically flattering.
A wireless lavaliere microphone gives the subject freedom to roam. Consider filming the subject standing up – clothing hangs naturally and is more dynamic.
