In Reply to: Movie Misstakes? Help! posted by Bambi B on January 22, 2005 at 15:26:41:
you are aware of www.nitpickers.com, just the place for you. I myself am amazed at the continuity lapses in major expensive films.
Follow Ups:
fun website. thanks for sharing that.editors sit in a room looking at footage over and over and over. they see the mistakes nitpickers catch, but have to bluff through continuity to put together the best scene. it would just be prohibitively expensive to nail every single detail.
what's most revealing about the magic of filmmaking is when you watch a scene where one character is talking, they cut to a shot of the person listening while the first character continues talking, then back to the first character who continues talking. you realize that the clock or some other detail has changed, and that they've seamlessly spliced together two takes that feel like one. then you wonder how many times they've done that under you nose because there was no moving cup or whatever to give you a clue.

One of these days I gotta get myself organizized.
