No connection on my own computer. Just a quick post to say I miss posting on these forums and talking to a 'select' few of you on MSN. Why would he say that?

Basically - all the girls are getting boring at college, I have exhausted this seasons crop and can't wait for a new batch and I liked coming home and annoying Grix (he loves me really) and talking crap to Sheepy and about foam parties to Stryke.

I will have the internet back on my own computer oneday.

WHY IS THE INSTALLATION SO EXPENSIVE FOR FREEOLA BROADBAND? I demanded a cheaper price. I am the one and er-ly. You can't take that away from me!

:-D No seriously. I was ready to buy freeola BB until I saw that fee. :( I am awaiting a pricedrop of some sort or maybe free women.

What am I doing instead of surfing? Writting gay love poetry, scripts and other film stuff. As well as fixing stuff I haven't had time to fix in the past. Also. My six seasons of Buffy rule.

*must lock up the office now, need to get home and thats a trek*

Where is Tonty? Can I have a car.

*cries himself to no-internet sleep*

Come to think of it, I actually photographed a fair number of TV screens for the GTA3 pictures I stuck up at http://lovemediarooftoppics.tripod.com, I used a digital camera for that - and it allows you to see the scanlines on the camera's display before you take the picture. I just waited for the brief moment when it wasn't in shot, and took the photo. It's a fairly rough way of doing it, but it's by far one of the easiest.

That refresh scroll thing is a right bast, only way I could think of removing it from a filmed (not photographed) clip, is to edit it out with some post production software like Adobe After Effects. You could use the frames where the scanline doesn't appear, as a reference to remove it from those in which it does.

Find a laptop or change to a lower shutter speed and work around it, if you have someone using the computer maybe film the keyboard or from behind the computer (get him to wear glasses and get the reflection of what he is doing from the screen in the glasses). Not sure, you can always edit around it and change the shutter speed for the different cuts you choose on the workaround.

I mak no sens.

So far my only solution, and it looks like it will be the only one, is to use a transition thing I've got to superimpose another video clip into the current one.

Only problem is I need to film a damn projector... and it wouldn't look right, as well as being inordinately time consuming to do...

Hollywood and studios use a big machine that alters the monitors shutter or display thingy. The machine has a really big name, my dad knows and waffles about it a lot of the time. You can use a laptop or as someone has said try and change the shutter speed to reduce the flicker. If that doesn't work try and work with it instead of against it, however this might only work if you are filming a horror.

Sorry....

Yeah but if you increase the shutter speed and you have anyone moving in shot then it looks crap.

If I was filming a projection of a film, would I have the same problem, out of interest...
