I have a to create a 15minute video to fill up a screen sized 12mx5m, so my main question is what dimensions do I create a Comp in AE, would it be 1200px500px? secondly, how should i deliver this file if I need to really get tight results on this kind of screen? (eg, DVD quality, plain Quicktime, WMV etc...)

Thanks...

Judging by the size, I'd say a 2.35:1 ratio would do well, shot in either full HD or 1080i. 720p cropped to 2.35:1 might work aswell, if you're sitting some yards from the screen.

As to compression, if you're playing the movie from your own pc, it doesn't matter, as long as it's not overly compressed, it won't matter. If you're playing via some other source, it'd be a good idea to check what formats they support.

I can't be as in-depth as most others here, but at least this should point you in the right direction.

Ask your client about the used player/projector, he or his techs should know.
