Talk:Klieg light

message: Are this lights really called klieg lights or are they kliegl?  --Lekogm 19:44, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Both, as far as I know. I believe, however, that Klieg light is the more common spelling in recent years, as the official company catalogs seem to indicate. See http://www.klieglbros.com for more information. Girolamo Savonarola 20:13, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Kleig vs Kleigl

message: Are these lights inherently large and heavy? In the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) biography of actor James Cagney I found the entry, "According to James Cagney's autobiography Cagney By Cagney, (Published by Doubleday and Company Inc 1976, and ghost written by show biz biographer Jack McCabe), a Mafia plan to murder Cagney by dropping a several hundred pound klieg light on top of him was stopped at the insistence of George Raft. Cagney at that time was president of the Screen Actors Guild, and was determined not to let the mob infiltrate the industry. Raft used his many mob connections to cancel the hit."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dick Kimball (talk • contribs) 22:38, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: It is a brand name, and therefore is propper, as well as the fact that it is the named after the last name of two individuals (which doesn't always indicate if its propper from what I understand).

Talk:Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden

message: The back lot site at Leavesden incorporates what was Leavesden aerodrome (EGTI) and the old control tower still stands above the studio building. The site was used in the war and Rolls Royce continued there until the 1990s. They allowed a number of private general aviation clubs to operare including Leavesden Flight Centre and Firecrest Aviation (subsequently moved to Elstree Aerodrome). There was one hard runway 957m x 46m aligned on 057 and 237 degrees (designated 06/24) and a second unlicenced grass runway 870m x 29m aligned 109 and 289 degrees (designated 11/29). The main runway was equipped with a PAPI light system (precision approach path indicator). The operating frequencys were 122.15 (leavesden approach) and 121.40 (leavesden radar). At weekends, the air traffic control (ATC) was replaced with and air ground (AG) radion operator - callsign Leavesden Radio.
The closure of the aerodrome followed closure of the factory. The latter seemed to come about soon after the site had been hit by industrial action. Prior to that there had been annual open days at the factory which was involved with the development of the Trent engine.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.105.108.242 (talk) 11:52, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk:2004 NCAA Division I-A football rankings

message: In case anyone wants to know, ESPN has both the AP and Coaches Poll rankings here http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/rankingsindex?pollId=null&weekNumber=1&seasonYear=2004.  Also, I came across a rankings tie in week 11 between Virginia and Florida State with UVA going up and FSU going down and no ranking for the 14th slot in the poll.  I'm not an advanced coder so I don't know if it is possible to get both colors in that same box. E Pluribus Unum 10:10, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The way to handle it is just make it look like it's one box. It happened in Week 2 of the 2006 AP so you can look there for more info. But you just add style="border-bottom:1px solid white;" after the bgcolor= item to the top box that it occurs. You can then change the bgcolor for each box. That's the solution we've put in. It looks better than doubling the entry for one box which throws the whole table off.  --MECU≈talk 12:39, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Match cut

message: If anyone can find a reason the second picture is useful, then by all means make it clear. At the moment it's totally confusing. Two people walking - I don't see the connection. Sure, it's explained in the text but the image is nothing on its own, or even enough to warrant its stay, at least in this article which is about editing. Gohst 09:11, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I've deleted it for the moment, though I suppose it could return if a complementary image is included as well. Actually, I think that the Aliens example would make a far better image, since it's a dissolve, IIRC. Girolamo Savonarola 13:10, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: A Canterbury Tale

message: Ironically, the 'most famous match cut of all' is not a match cut but rather an associative cut. A match cut matches in a literal sense, for example if someone is pointing in a mid shot and you cut to them in close up, the cut is said to match if the same person is still pointing with the same arm. The cut from the bone to the spaceship associates two ideas through the juxtaposition of shots. Furthermore, there is no way from telling that the spaceship is a nuclear weapons platform (unless you read Arthur C. Clarke's 2001 novel), it is the power of the association makes this a legitimate assumption.--Rodmunday (talk) 13:33, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: While we're at it, the picture on the bottom is not exactly the same shot that replaces the bone. It looks like the same piece of hardware taken from a different angle. In addition, the cut doesn't represent generic technological advances, but specifically advances in weaponry. Clarke refers to the object as a "space bomb" and the Wiki article for 2001 calls it a "nuclear weapon." 161.11.130.249 (talk) 15:20, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:October Films

message: The intro line says "October Films was a U.S. independent film production company[1] and distributor founded in.."
An anonymous editor, User talk:70.75.206.24 reverts the line to "October Films was another production company and distributor founded in 1991 by..." and removes the reference.
A simple reading of the original line shows a reference that October Films is an independent film company. The reversion makes it appear to be "yet" another company formed by the two founders.
What is the anon. editor trying to accomplish or say. Was the company not an independent film production company in 1991? While it may be been acquired by Universal, and then no longer independent, in 1997, it seems the company was from 1991-1997.
If there is some other reason I welcome the editor to give rationale for the changes, and post some reference links here to support the view.

Talk:Pick-up (filmmaking)

message: It is clear that whomever inserted that does not understand the point of pick-up shots or reshoots. Reaction shots are something planned for in advance. 
Pick-up shots or reshoots by definition are contingency situations. They are an anticipated risk, in the same way that one anticipates the risk of car accidents or plane crashes, but by definition are not planned for. After all, if such issues had shown up during pre-production planning, the production team would have fixed them well before principal photography began. --Coolcaesar (talk) 18:36, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

Does anybody know if scrims cost more depending on the kind of wire mesh they are equipped with?  Does an aluminum mesh cost less than a stainless steel mesh?
Is the lifespan of a typical scrim limited more on account of their fragility (that is, their tendency to get bent up and twisted) than the possibility the very high temperatures cause them to oxidize?

message: In this edit a well-meaning IP editor boldly converted the character list to a cast list. I'm opposed to this because the cast list is not inherently better, a character list, once fleshed out, tends to be a better vehicle for information about the characters, whereas cast lists tend to remain empty, and instead invite a lot of crufty additions from editors who find it worthwhile to start listing every voice an actor performed, rather than focusing on the most important characters.
