What’s a good video projector for a movie theater venue?

January 31, 2010 - 9:09 am 4 Comments

Whats one on a good budget, one that is ideal, and also what I should be looking for in a projector that would be used a theater venue with descent to good quality.
It’s for a 4 minute video but is being show to a large crowd.

How big is this theater venue?
Most likely a cheap home theater projector is not going to work very well for you if it’s a commercially sized room.

You should be looking at 2K and 4K projectors if the theater is movie cinema sized. The K does not indicate price, it indicates resolution, both 2K and 4K resolutions are massively better than ‘High Definition’ and may be needed if the screen is to be larger than say 20 ft diagonally in order to maintain sharp picture quality without showing a grid of individual pixels.

For comparison, a typical home theater projector can be projected on a screen up to say about 12 ft in diagonal length. In contrast, a 2K Cinema projector could project on up to a 100 ft screen in some cases and still look good.

Runco, Christie and Barco are popular brands for cinema projectors.
On average you should be prepared to spend anywhere between $5,000 and $50,000 depending on whether the projector is 2K or 4K, whether it supports 3D Projection, and various other important factors (e.g. lamp brightness, contrast etc.)

What happens when you do not pay a speeding ticket?

January 31, 2010 - 9:08 am 5 Comments

I got a speeding ticket nearly 3 years ago, forgot to pay it. I’ve been pulled over multiple times since then and I have been to court for other tickets. I have also renewed my registration and requested a drivers abstract and the ticket was not on my record.

You may have just gotten lucky. Stop speeding and you won’t have to worry about tickets.

What would be good semiformal wear for the theatre?

January 31, 2010 - 9:08 am 6 Comments

It would be an evening show at a nicer theatre, and I was thinking semiformal would be better than full on formal. Could I get away with wearing a nice Turtleneck and slacks, or should I go button-up shirt and tie?

"Button-up shirt and tie" is a far cry from "full-on formal." Not that long ago it was the norm to wear a tuxedo to the theatre — even a business suit would have been considered gauche. Nevertheless, remember that no matter how you dress, there will be people dressed both better and worse than you.

There’s nothing wrong with wearing a turtleneck to the theatre; people do it all the time. I personally wouldn’t do it — I hate ties, but I’d probably at least wear a jacket.

What kind of current events do i need to know for ap government?

January 31, 2010 - 9:08 am 1 Comment

Like what time range would current mean? Which years are most possibly in political cartoons in AP government tests? If you can, can you give me suggestions for websites to get current events thar=t are possibly in the tests. Can you mention an popular events most frequently in the tests.

My AP Government teacher just told me to be reasonable. Technically, they could ask you about a Supreme Court case from a month before the test. Would they? I doubt it. Generally, if you just remember the big court cases (McCullough v. Maryland, Marbury v. Madison, etc.) and most recent formal amendments to the constitution, you should be fine.

i know that the festival is in may.
but when do they start selling the tickets, and where?
i tried their website, it didn’t do me much good.

Usually towards the end of January so probably next week (if it’s kept the same)
They sell it on their website or you can later buy them from other people online like on soompi

Where can I find the Beatles Rock Band cutscenes online that play in between each venue you unlock?

January 22, 2010 - 12:44 pm 1 Comment

I want to show them to my teacher… It’s for a graphic arts thing. I just need a link to at least one. NOT the intro, the cutscenes that play in between each venue.

Have you tried the extras? Youtube? Capture cards for recording it?

what do you think of joining the student theatre groups in university?

January 22, 2010 - 12:43 pm 1 Comment

How do you join theatre groups in your university? How long will a preparation for a play be? Can joining the student theatre group be a start of auditioning for theatrical shows? Is it too late to learn theatre at the age of 17? I have joined some dramas in high school though. What are the better student theatre groups in the world? What uni? Thanks!

Not sure about your school.. but where I went.. you joined by showing up. Or.. expressing interest. Yes… joining the groups is great for starting theatre…or learning of the auditions… never too late to learn. Each school and University has pluses and minuses in their theatre department. Read a biography of someone you admire… maybe follow in their footsteps… or create your own. Neither is a bad choice.

Buying one way tickets from different airlines to complete a trip?

January 22, 2010 - 12:43 pm 5 Comments

Any downsides to doing this if the prices are good? That is, buying 2 one way tickets from different airlines instead of a round trip ticket for a trip. I am wondering if it makes airport security more of a hassle or any other possible downsides.
what is the secondary screening like?

yes you probably will be chosen for secondary screening because the airline will only
see one way and that’s usually a security tip off
I had a friend who flew jet blue to salt lake (one way) (and yep they had to though secondary screening
and for the return they flew southwest home and again they had go though secondary screening with TSA
