Canada and China still use film projectors. For now.
If they are going to replace those, I would hope the projector for the wooly mammoth/cavemen scene at the beginning of SSE is replaced as well-every trip I take to WDW, it gets harder and harder to see.
Do you know what is specifically used for the MK Castle projection shows? Obviously not film projectors, but like make/model of projector? Clearly not cheap and looks to be multiple.
They are Christie. I’d have to dig out the model numbers though,
If I recall correctly, they keep those projectors very dark purposefully to keep the light bleed from filling the room around them.
I believe film has a better resolution than 1080. But while film can theoretically provide you with the equivalent of 7k horizontal resolution that would only exist in the original negative of the shot and only be true for 35mm Imax, normal 35mm movies as normally shot would be close to 4k resolution. But when you make copies of the original you lose some of the detail. If you look at regular movies that Hollywood has released in the past your actual resolution the viewer gets on screen is closer to the equivalent of a 2k image.
I always assumed the unclear images were a deliberate artistic choice. History slowly emerging from the blurred mist of time....
The projectors are dying. It used to be a lot clearer.
I stand corrected!
I’d be very interested to know if you have it. Thanks!
Projectors aren't the problem it's the bulbs. They are probably using them until they die and projector bulbs get dimmer the more you use them. Even home theater projector suffer from this but it is even more pronounced on the higher powered theater bulbs.
I could have rephrased it couldn’t I.
