Talk:Mitchell Camera

message: While the technical descriptions of the Mitchell cameras are certainly fitting and necessary, there must be some literature about the adoption and spread of the NC's use in the film industry. Also, it bears mentioning that, while the company's proper nomenclature was 'newsreel camera,' the film industry more often called the NC the Mitchell Noiseless Camera. 
One place to start: http://books.google.com/books?id=KFB_oT-jupQC&pg=PA230&dq=Mitchell+noiseless+camera&hl=en&sa=X&ei=PN_RUPauK4TW2QWy9YDQCQ&ved=0CEYQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=Mitchell%20noiseless%20camera&f=false

Talk:Fig Rig

message: Recommendation to redefine: 'Fig Rig refers to a circular, handheld device used to stabilize and control a small camera to catch motion while also reducing the chances of shaky footage. Mrwoodard (talk) 18:41, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Re-Defining "Fig Rig" 

message: I think instead of introducing Mike Figgis as the creator of the Fig Rig in definition, there is a new section that talks about Mike Figgis' reasoning for creating the Fig Rig. 
In an interview conducted by the Directors Guild of America, Mike Figgis, an English film director, discusses his experience on set and the hassles that came about when dealing with tripods and film dollies on set. Figgis decided that he needed something to stabilize his camera without taking up valuable workspace. It was then that he created the fig rig as a way to create a stabilized film shot by gripping the handled sides and holding it still or moving it slowly.

Talk:High-key lighting

message: The term "high key" in art predates cinema (and, for that matter, artificial lighting), and refers to something actually quite different. This article needs to make a distinction between "high key lighting" and the older (but still used) term "high key" in painting and photography. See http://photo.stackexchange.com/q/10232/1943 original research by me, but with a lot of references] for the research and conclusions. There should be a "not to be confused with" at the top of the page. Matthew Miller (talk) 13:04, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Hard and soft light

message: I don't think this article should be merged.  Instead, the focus should shift towards hard versus soft light... the 'quality' of the light.  Ties this into cinematography by mentioning the uses of soft/hard light, how instrument design affects how well the light "cuts" (i.e. fresnels versus open faced lights), and what instruments achieve soft/hard light.

thread_title:  Hard and soft light 

message: In the fall-off section of the page, it says "For a soft light source of infinite size, intensity does not decrease exponentially and is simply inversely proportional to distance.". As it also says, point sources decrease their intensity with the inverse square of distance, not exponentially, so I don't see why it would contrast soft light sources with expontnial fall-off. Also, I would think of an infinitely large light-source as infinite in 2 directions, in which case the intensity would not fall off at all, rather than an infinitely long strip, which would fall off roughly as described.31.53.173.83 (talk) 14:35, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

I don't really have the expertise to take it on, but just from what I know of Seattle history, there is a lot that could be added (e.g. Seattle strike leader Shelvy Daffron was ambushed and killed on June 30, 1934). One consequence of the strike for Seattle was a major loss of Asian trade, which shifted to Los Angeles.

thread_title: History?

message: Maybe this is a regional or uk/us terminology thing but I always thought (from my brief interactions with the theatre industry) that "spotlight" on it's own normally reffered to lights that provided light in semi-fixed (only changed between performances) locations while "followspot" reffered to lights that were designed to be moved to follow a target on stage. 94.6.24.111 (talk) 21:04, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

text: Yes I agree there is a problem here. I'd pretty much never say "spotlight" on its own except in a domestic setting or when talking to someone without technical knowledge. The lantern described in this article I would always call a followspot, then I'd call the semi-fixed ones described above by their designation such as profile or fresnel, though I agree that "spot" is there, sometimes silently, after the designation. In other words, it's quite a good example of a Wikipedia terminological mess and I am not sure how I would fix it! :( Best to all DBaK (talk) 09:04, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Pumping station

message: Packaged pump station is essentially just a self-contained pumping installation and hence is purely a sub-type of pumping station. That article is unlikely to exceed stub size, and hence the content would be more appropriate as a subsection of this article.

thread_title:  Merge proposal 

message: I think the Polish article link is wrong, i.e. it links to the "Oczyszczanie ścieków", which means "Sewage treatment". I'm neither very good at English nor at this very area of engineering, so I don't feel competent for correcting this one, but it would be nice if someone more fluent in topic could take a look. Most probably, the link to polish translation should simply be removed - the closest article in Polish wiki seems to be https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofor , but "Hydrofor" is a device for creating constant water pressure in water supply network, while "pumping station" is, as far as I understand, the facility with many such devices (and other), so it's not the strict equivalent neither. I don't know the strict equivalent of "pumping station" in Polish ("Stacja pomp"?

If my edit there was in error, no harm done, as the soundtrack is really beside the point. But I see that the phrase appears several times in this article.

Talk:Front projection effect

message: "In IntroVision, the black velvet is replaced by another Scotchlite screen that reflects the image back towards another Scotchlight screen placed before the performer." What? I mean - what?
Where is the black velvet normally located - is it to one side of the area in view of the camera? Is it at 90 degrees, like a side wall, or oriented the same as the screen behind the actor?
The second screen in Introvision, or velvet in normal front projection, catches light which "is not reflected towards the scene". So, that sounds like light other than that which is projected onto the primary screen - stray side light, or something - so how can it form a coherent image?
It "reflects the image back towards another Scotchlight screen placed before the performer." So - is this other screen between the performer and the camera, in which case it would block the view, or is it behind the camera, in which case it couldn't be seen? Neither seems useful.
It "lands on two different screens creating a 3D effect". This sounds like stereoscopy is involved in some way, but it's not at all clear how.
