Viking 0 #1 December 18, 2002 I am watching tv as usual and i notice that who edited together the footage for this show put it in backwards. I have noticed this alot with slow panning shots. Anybody know why they are doing that? Its really annoying when you can instantly tell "Hey fire doesn't move like that"I swear you must have footprints on the back of your helmet - chicagoskydiver My God has a bigger dick than your god -George Carlin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think one of the biggest editorial/directorial bloopers was from the movie SPEED, when the cop that Keanu shot in the right leg, ends up with a wonded left leg when he gets his award...

quade 4 #7 December 18, 2002 It's usually a (weak) attempt by a Producer to cover for some other issue he's trying to avoid -- like maybe he didn't get a left to right pan, but he really, really needs one for the continuity to make sense, so he figures that -nobody- will really notice of he runs a right to left pan backwards (or maybe a zoom in backwards to make a zoom out or maybe flips the scene left to right). I personally can't stand that kind of shoddy craftsmanship, but the reality is that sometimes ya gotta do it for budget reasons. Sometimes, like in the movie Titanic, ya actually plan for it to happen, so ya make a bunch of signs that read backwards so you only have to build half the set, put in the backwards signs, flip the image right to left and "viola" you've got the other half of the ship.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
helicam 0 #8 December 18, 2002 I have one better....for a great deal of what I do at work we record live to tape and rewind it when we do the broadcast........one day the studio cut to us without warning while I was cueing a tape......we had to do an entire traffic report with all the cars going backwards!! I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #9 December 19, 2002 I remember how odd I thought it was that whenever I watched CHiPs as a kid, the wheels would rotate backwards... My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
