Talk:Motion Picture Patents Company

message: I acknowledge that much more needs to be added about the MPPC's distribution monopoly, the General Film Corporation. — Walloon (talk) 07:56, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  General Film Corporation 

message: The article currently reads:
:Also, casts were kept uncredited on screen; studios, and Edison in particular, were concerned that creating individual stars would drive up the players' salaries. Instead, the studios relied on an in-house stock acting company, and marketed the product based on their own brand. For example, when Biograph Studios' leading actress (Florence Lawrence) proved popular with audiences, the studio began advertising pictures as featuring "The Biograph Girl."
Certainly there was initial resistance by the studios to giving actor credits and star publicity. But all of that changed during the life of the MPPC. Florence Lawrence and Florence Turner both became stars publicized under their own names in early 1910. By 1912, all the American members of the MPPC were giving cast lists in their films except Biograph, which relented the following year. There was no official prohibition in the MPPC against giving actor credits, and little evidence that non-MPPC studios had any interest in promoting stars either. — Walloon (talk) 17:26, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Actor credits 

message: It really feels left out that this article does not name exactly which companies would not pay their licensing fees to Edison to make movies. This part of the article is good "Many independent filmmakers, who controlled from one-quarter to one-third of the domestic marketplace, responded to the creation of the MPPC by moving their operations to Hollywood," but who exactly were these independent filmakers? I know IMP/Universal was one of them but who else? Neither this article or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinema_of_the_United_States#Rise_of_Hollywood or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood#Motion_picture_industry mentions exactly which companies moved to Hollywood for the specific reason to escape MPPC. I can look up the movie companies wiki page and see when they moved but there is no way to tell who did and didnt pay their MPPC fees because moving to Hollywood doesn't necessarily mean that they didn't pay. I think this is a crucial and important bit of information to have on this page. When it is left vague like how it is and doesn't name the companies then how can you even fact check that it is correct. It needs to name which companies did not pay.

Talk:Original camera negative

message: Note that as of 2016, this article is moving toward being of primarily historical importance. Film is still occasionaly used in film-making, particularly in prestige productions where the director and cinematographer have the power to require the extra cost (eg. Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan), but it's becoming increasingly rare.

Talk:Camera angle

message: On the set, "camera angle" and "camera setup" are interchangable terms.  However, the fundamental understanding of these terms are different.  A camera angle defines how high or low (or neutral) the angle of camera lens is in relation to the subject or whether or not the camera is tilted.  A camera setup is the name/number of each camera angle kept for organizational purposes.  I propose that we make this fundamental difference more clear somehow.  Any ideas?
:I would hesitate to describe them as the same thing - "camera angle" defines the placement of the camera and "camera setup" includes the angle, as well as other important details such as, most notably, the focal length used. Girolamo Savonarola 21:04, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Couldn’t upload 

message: short description|Post production film process}}
Offline editing is part of the post-production process of film making and television production in which raw footage is copied and the copy only is then edited, thereby not affecting the camera original film stock or video tape. Once the project has been completely offline edited, the original media will be assembled in the online editing stage.
The term offline originated in the computing and telecommunications industries, meaning "not under the direct control of another device" (automation).
Modern offline video editing is conducted in a non-linear editing (NLE) suite. The availability of more powerful digital editing systems has made the offline editing workflow process much quicker, as practitioners moved from time-consuming (video tape to tape) linear video editing online editing suites, to computer hardware and video editing software such as Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer, Sony Vegas, Lightworks and VideoPad. Typically, all the original footage (often tens or hundreds of hours) is digitized into the suite at a low resolution. The editor and director are then free to work with all the options to create the final cut. Therefore, the offline editing stage is the creative storytelling stage that defines the structure, mood, pacing and story of the final show. Many versions and revisions are done at this stage until the edit gets to a stage known as picture lock. This is when it then moves onto the following stages of post production known as online editing, colour grading and audio mixing.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.105.34.126 (talk) 19:20, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Alexandria Arachosia

message: The descend of Arachosians are today the iranic Ormurs who do exit mainly (today) on the borderline ut as well in PESHAWAR. They belong to the iranian stock of the indo-aryan people. It is proven on earlier day they had taken a large area than today. They also exist in Wazirisatn, direct beside the boundaris of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Where is your proof of that? To my understanding the Ormur have always claimed to be Pashtun and have historically been located in Northern Waziristan which is most likely their original homeland. Arochaisns were just Pactyans and how can the Ormur's be descened from these areas if Archoasia was in the south of Afghanistan while they are in the north west?

Talk:Tarim River

message: There is a contradiction in this article. First:
Formed from the union of the Aksu River and Yarkand River, it flows in an eastward direction around the Taklamakan Desert. Then: The Tarim River is formed by the confluence of the Kashgar River and the Yarkand River in the far west. That would mean that the part between both confluences is either Tarim (according to the latter) or not (the first). Any sources? Fransvannes (talk) 20:06, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: U.S. Board on Geographic Names supports the version in the lead.  The second version is also wrong in that there is nowhere near 230 miles between the Kashgar and Aksu confluences, eyeballing it on a map it might be 20. Should keep the Kashgar mention though.
