Filtering for daylight projection?
A short I’m editing right now is to be projected (in corporate environment) during the day, with little possibilities to obstruate windows.
Is there any treatment I can apply on one particular version so that it looks more crunchy, so as to make some kind of “daylight version”?
TIA.

Will it “help”? I doubt it.
You simply can’t, in production, compensate for a weak, low contrast projection (which is what happens in a too-light environment).
If there is nobody AT THE EVENT who can make the optimum adjustments for the gear and environment, no amount of “over-compensation” on your park will do much good.
You’ll likely just create an image that will look “bad” no matter WHERE its shown.

Thanks for sparing me hours of research on this. I’ll leave it at that.

Could you not adjust the gamma, making most the tones live in the darker range? We do the opposite for dark pc monitors, making more of the tones live in the brighter range.
Your blacks and whites remain normal, but everything inbetween gets skewed one way or the other when playing with the gamma.

Rent a killer projector. Place black out curtains along the sides of the screen and on top creating a window box to block side light from hitting the screen. This will narrow your viewing angle, you may need to arrange the seating along one side of the room away from the windows so your gobos won’t obstruct views.
