Barco celebrates "Disney's A Christmas Carol" Train Tour
Case study
“Disney's A Christmas Carol” Train Tour uses Barco's DP-2000 digital cinema projectors for the traveling, state-of-the-art digital 3D theatre.
Slated for a 6 November release, “Disney's A Christmas Carol” is a multi-sensory thrill ride re-envisioned by Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Robert Zemeckis that captures the fantastical essence of the classic Dickens tale in a groundbreaking, performance-capture 3D motion picture event.
In anticipation of the movie, “Disney's A Christmas Carol” Train Tour offers audiences a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie, culminating with the 3D sneak peek of footage shown inside Disney's remarkable, 48-foot wide, 120 seat Disney Digital 3D theatre. The US nationwide 40-city whistle stop tour made its debut at Los Angeles' Union Station on 22 May and will reach its final destination, Grand Central Terminal New York, on 1 November.
“Disney's A Christmas Carol” Train Tour has Barco's DP-2000 digital cinema projectors on board for the entire journey. Disney has selected Barco's state-of-the-art projectors to provide the public with a special sneak peek at its spectacular new holiday release, in a traveling Disney Digital 3D™ theatre that will be erected at each stop along the way. For each showing, Dolby Laboratories will provide its Dolby® 3D Digital Cinema technology, which when combined with Barco's DP-2000 projectors, delivers realistic color and sharp images on standard white screens.
Lylle Breier, senior vice president of Worldwide Special Events for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, said, “We're thrilled to be using state-of-the-art digital projectors from Barco, and the latest 3D technology from Dolby Laboratories, to showcase these incredible scenes from the exciting and ground-breaking “Disney's A Christmas Carol”, directed by visionary director Robert Zemeckis. This allows us to present images from the film in the best possible way, and to demonstrate the excitement that awaits moviegoers this November. The train tour is free to visitors of all ages, and we know that everyone is going to have a great time exploring the four custom-designed rail cars, and participating in the fun activities, and demonstrations that go along with it.”
