Projectors for outdoor cinema?

Question

http://www.openaircinema.us/info/elite/pact_show/id_19385372/

i found this website which sells the whole kit (is it good value for money?) - looking at the projector specifically, is 3500 lumens sufficient for a 20' screen in a relatively light-pollution-free area?

these things go up to 10.000 lumens and more, and their price proportionally - which would be the best adapted in your opinion?

Also, the projector has to work in a relatively humid environment - think Orlando by a lake. And give good screen resolution from DVD source

Answer 1

To pull this off, you will basically need three things:

A big enough screen that is made for outdoors.  It will need to be stable in the wind.  That is the hard part.

A nice bright projector (depends on the screen size.  5K lumens will probably be minimum).

A professional sound system.

You best bet is to hire an AV staging and rental company to do the whole thing.  If you are going to do this on a regular basis, they can help you with purchasing the equipment and setting it up permanently.

There are plenty of companies in your area that can help you with this.  Try the Yellow Pages under "Audio Visual" or "Audio Video".
