Movie projector for filming

[Matt Garrett]

Doing a shoot where a projection is a big part of the shoot. Scouted the location yesterday and the Panasonic projector they had at the location wasn't nearly bright enough.
Anybody have any good suggestions for projectors I should look into renting for the shoot?

That's always been a problem - In Toronto (where I am) there is a guy that we call who will swap out the projector for one with a properly bright bulb & synch it with your timecode / shutter to reduce flicker.

No chance of doing a green screen shoot and compositing in the projected image later? This can look a lot better in most cases, because then it's not as much of a compromise in terms of lighting (and fill spill).

Green screen has been mentioned, but there is a tight turn around on the video and the vfx will take too long.
