Technology

I was just on the phone with New City Video, a equipment rental in New York City.
Was talking with them about renting a projector for the display of the video at the drive in. According to their recommendation, I need a christie HD projector (30,000 Lumen) with a 3.2 lens to cover the entire screen. Plus, there will be some peripheral costs with power and cabling. Needless to say that this has blown any conception that I had for my budget.
Balancing the technology needs and the overall costs of the project, is going to be a challenge. Though, I've decided to not settle for second best.
Looks like I will be hitting the pavement looking for funding.
