4K Home Cinema Room Time-Lapse

Transforming a large basement into an UltraHD home cinema room with 2.35:1 screen, 4K projector 10 seats and fibre optic star ceiling.
High spec cinema, retro styling, combined with very contemporary touches. View the total transformation in just over 5 minutes. a big thanks to Fenella for her imaginative interior design work on this project / fenellajanedesign and of course our own web site is www.ukhomecinem...
The finished cinema area is about 6.7 metres from front to back and slightly over 5 metres wide at the widest point . The height of the original space was 2.32 Metres. This project was spread out over several months, speed wasn't the priority and the seats were on a long delivery time.
The projector is a VPL-VW550. We needed an ultra HD projector with motorised zoom , focus and lens shift plus lens memories. This was necessary for all of the different aspect ratios to work at constant image height on the 2.35:1 screen. Absolutely everything is controlled on a single remote (and also from the client's iphone)
these work via the control processor, This includes control of all of the lighting.

[@garyl5128]

True. Most guidelines (CEDIA CEB 23, THX, SMPTE, Dolby etc) suggest that there shouldn't be any aisles down the center line of the screen, but maybe the client preferred that, or perhaps the main seating is the second row and the stairs ensured an unobstructed view.

[@nyjonathan]

It bothers me that behind the projector screen wasn't fully painted.

[@uploaded113redone]

​@X2 JoelMK 33 that doesn't make any sense , the screen is a solid piece of fabric called blackout cloth that has multiple layers of rubber covered with polyester and cotton, no light is getting through that projector screen because it was designed to block light, the lack of paint behind the projector screen is still baffling because there is no reason they shouldn't have painted the whole wall

Octavarium89 you shull try the onkio 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos Is really gud

[@inlandchris1]

Octavarium89: First, QLED TV is brighter and better for a home cinema. OLED is good for dark and wide viewing but QLED is more striking. Try DTS:X with a minimum 7.1 speakers but with ceiling spkrs, 11.2 is better. I like DTS MA 7.1, it fabulous for the money. Unfortunately, most 4K blu ray movies are Dolby/DTS 5.1, so sad for this. So, I buy HD movies for my 4K TV and enjoy DTS MA 7.1.

Lol, I think it might have me wanting to have a couple of Star Trek like Captain chairs in the center, with a low ship engine humming noise playing over that sound system, which I have no doubt has killer acoustics from the rock wool insulation. Nice work.

[@RocketDragons]

I love those star ceilings, and while watching this I had the idea of doing a large panel and painting it with a nebula, such as the famed ultra-high-res shot from the Hubble, and drilling holes into the panel(s) for lights exactly where the stars are. It'd be a ton of work, but damn it would look amazing!

Yes that would make sense, to have the best seat in the middle on the front row, but we offered lots of different layouts and this is the one our clients preferred.

Thanks very much , In fact we always have cinema room projects at various stages of progress. We do lots of projects where we don't have to re model the room. Those projects wouldn't be as interesting to watch. These videos take a lot of time to edit etc , Thanks for such a nice comment ,glad you enjoyed it.

[@Ukhomecinemas]

Thanks for your comment. We are a tiny company , but we are doing home cinema projects constantly. Most of our projects are a lot smaller and lower value than this one. Even if someone just wants a home cinema projector supplied and installed, we are happy to do that. The videos take a lot of work and we would have trouble finding the time to make more of them. We do have a time-lapse recorded but not yet edited, of a much smaller project , just fitting a projector based home cinema system into a fairly modest lounge, chasing the cables into walls etc , but without changing the look of the room. We may manage to publish that at some point.

[@luverizimo2597]

Please now give us a tour and tell us about the equipment you’re using and the surround sound test

[@snipervision1]

Looks great but I would have put the steps in the money spot. This moves people to the edges which puts you closer to side speakers and off axis to the screen for a dimmer image and the loss of front sound stage. Looks great but just my recommendations.

[@Microwave414]

Sometimes it's not about having the best placement, sometimes its about fulfilling the wishes of the person commissioning the job done and maybe that's what they want and maybe what they want is to sit that far away or possibly they wanted it to feel open and large. It's not what I would want either but you have to put into that into consideration. The thing that drives me nuts is the due fact that side surround speakers are not in the same orientation so the left surround is going to sound far lower than the right surround.

Another example where audio is the last consideration when building a home theater.

[@iforgotwhatiwasdoin]

Right? The work and detail with the construction process was immaculate, but when it comes down to the earth-shaking moment intensifying audio experience, a 7.1.2 set up is what you're rocking? That's a large space, and if you're dropping those K's, invest in more audio gear and HEAVEN FORBID get more subs. 1 powered sub isn't enough to fill that space. Now I did see 2 subs, one was ported from the front seen when they were assembling the screen, and the sub I see in the end result is sealed. Not sure if they were both implemented, but still. Whatev, bet it still sounds pristine.

[@MrPepelongstockings]

Adding a dvd shelf, not closing the space off, and not planning ahead for subwoofer placement are keeping this from looking like a much more expensive theater space. Lots of high quality work and materials but the multicolor DVD array next to the screen is distracting and tacky. Obviously the speakers aren't integrated into the walls on this setup, but the subwoofer especially stands out as a large front-and-center box. For lighting, sound dampening, and sound quality reasons there would be massive benefits to closing off that half-wall. Still an impressive setup.
