thread_title:  screenshot 

message: The process description includes the following: "The model is painted with a phosphorus paint and photographed with strong lighting against a black background, then rephotographed with ultraviolet light. This turns the model from a light radiator to a light emitter."
This is meaningless. Physically, light radiation is the same as light emission.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.223.130.32 (talk) 02:07, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Radiator vs Emitter 

message: Reverse bluescreen is a visual effects technique pioneered by Jonathan Erland of Apogee Inc.(John Dykstra's company) for shooting the flying sequences in the film Firefox. Erland received a Scientific and Engineering Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for this technique.
The patented technique is a variant of the traditional Blue Screen traveling matte process for composite photography. Its objective is to enable the matting of subjects that confound the conventional process, such as those exhibiting reflective surfaces. It derives its name from the fact that it reverses, or inverts, the basic bluescreen process. The basic bluescreen process calls for filming a subject in front of a solid blue backing, frequently a transmission screen rather like a large lightbox with a translucent blue plastic sheet in front of banks of lights, usually fluorescent. A reflective surface on the subject being filmed would result in blue reflections visible to the camera. Since the compositing process entails converting blue in the image into some other background image, such reflections would result in “holes” in the foreground subject with the background scene showing through.
Reverse bluescreen overcame this by coating the foreground subject with a clear fluorescent paint that was invisible under conventional visible light but fluoresced when illuminated by ultraviolet, or “black” light thus inverting the process. Thus the practice was to film a subject, such as the glossy black jet fighter in the Warner motion picture “Firefox,” against a neutral, e.g. black, background and lit with normal stage lights. Then reshoot exactly the same scene (using a precise motion control photography camera system) but with the normal stage lighting replaced by “blacklight” fluorescent lamps. The 360nm U.V. light thus caused the fluorescent paint to glow transforming the plane from black to a glowing object. From this image a male and female traveling matte could be produced that enabled the plane to be composited into any background scene desired.

Looking at this patent (US3095304A) it seems that this is the process we are talking about while the one from the introduction is about something different. There seem to have been predecessors, I haven't checked them out but Vlahos claims in his patent that it is his novel approach to use Sodium vapour light. We could use the images from the patent, I imagine? I have done little research on this topic. Of course it might be that the patent might be credited not to the person who "actually" invented it.

message: The title "Little Women II: Jo's boys" is wrong. The Wakakusa Monogatari Nan to Jou Sensei series is based on another one of the Little Women books: Little Men.
Little Men tells the story of Jo as a teacher, Jo's boys tells the story of her actual children.
I'm changing it to the English title Tale of Young Grass: Nan and Miss Jo which may be a bit long but will not cause as much confusion. Ninja neko 18:09, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "Tale of Young Grass: Nan and Miss Jo" is not the better choice because this is the literal translation of the Japanese title into English.  "Little Women II: Jo's Boys" is the official English title for this anime and should thus be used.  It's true that the anime itself is an adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's "Little Men," not "Jo's Boys," but this is still the official title that they gave to the series. T.W.

Talk:Weequahic, Newark

message: I edited "many locals say WEEK-way[citation needed]", a way of saying Weequahic that I've never heard.  It's true, I graduated Weequahic High School some decades ago, and perhaps the locals have a new pronunciation.  But since the WEEK-way pronunciation had a [citation needed] tag (and I'd love to see a citation!), I thought it acceptable to change to what I remembered.  I thought that perhaps "WEEK-way" was a typo anyway, as indeed it is missing the last syllable.
So I changed it to "many locals say WEE-kway-ik[citation needed])" as I remember from my many youthful years in the neighborhood.  I don't have a citation either, so I thought this bit would be fair game.  However, it was promptly reverted.  I would like to know on what basis, and in making this note on the Weequahic Talk page, I am respecting the wishes of the reverting editor to avoid corresponding on their own Talk page.
I note that I have seen a pronunciation in Jews of Weequahic (see a new section in the article, Further reading) but it is very far outside my personal recollection, so I choose not to include it in the article. Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 19:30, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
