G-MANN
From the London to Brighton page:
G-MANN: A 1997 Volvo V70 T5, from the alternate ending on the DVD [thumbnails were posted]
carchasesfanatic: Add it with a main photo
G-MANN: You mean I should list it? I've added cars from deleted scenes before (I'm not sure everyone agrees with it), but what about alternate endings? On Ronin I added two vehicles from the alternate ending on the DVD (picture quality is usually poor because the unused footage isn't processed for the final film)
carchasesfanatic: Yes you should add it, i disagreed at the begining but its not that bad, its better i guess, actually, an alternative ending keeps being a deleted scene, i think a star from a different color, like a black one or a red one would be usefull to give to cars that com from trailer, deleted scenes or alternative endings.
antp: Usually we include pictures from trailer, deleted scenes and alternate endings. Just put something to identify them in episode or time-tag field. (e.g. "del" or "alt" in episode)
carchasesfanatic: A star would be much easier and useful
antp: Yes, I should add something like that... I wonder why I didn't do that yet, as you said it would be much easier & useful.
It will be for next weekend if I've time.
G-MANN: You don't have to do that, a comment explaining that it's from a deleted scene or alternate ending should be enough
carchasesfanatic: Not really, i dont agree, if it doesnt take much time to him to do it i'd ask him to, comments are usually deleted, a star cant be remove and when you enter a page of a movie if you see a star from a different color youll see the car isnt in the final movie, i really see it usefull
G-MANN: (carchasesfanatic wrote comments are usually deleted)
Are they? Only totally irrelevant comments should be deleted.
G-MANN: (antp wrote Usually we include pictures from trailer, deleted scenes and alternate endings.)
Can I also add the vehicles from the alternate ending to Ronin?
carchasesfanatic: Yes they are, by accident for example when someone creates a new entry rather than just replacing the picture comments are gone, a star would still be much better, really.
G-MANN: Would it just be one different star for a deleted scene/alternate ending, or would we still keep 1, 2 and 3 stars except in a different colour?
carchasesfanatic: Hmm, that's not a bad idea actually, but cars form deleted scenes will usually take a roll between one and two stars, no bigger i think.
G-MANN: Perhaps 3 stars if it belongs to an important character but certainly not 4 stars in any case.
carchasesfanatic: But take into account that the car would only appear in that scene, therefore i doubt itll take three stars, the deleted scene would have to be very long for it to deserve as many i think.
G-MANN: Maybe you're right.
antp: (carchasesfanatic wrote Yes they are, by accident for example when someone creates a new entry rather than just replacing the picture comments are gone, a star would still be much better, really.)
You are the only one to do that (as when the new entry is created it is still possible to delete the new one rather than the old one so it is never "by accident" that the comments are deleted)
Anyway, if it is a different star, it will be easy. But is it useful to make a difference of role? I was thinking 1 red star = deleted scene, 1 blue star = trailer, 1 green star = alternative end (we can change these colors of course ), as none of these car really have a "role" in the movie itself. It will be more complicated to start mixing colors and number of stars.
(G-MANN wrote Can I also add the vehicles from the alternate ending to Ronin?)
Yes (though that I would have done that anyway the day I will replace pics by better ones )
carchasesfanatic: Colors are gonna be a mess im afraid
G-MANN: Nothing's ever simple on this site is it? I thought perhaps just have stars in one other colour to cover deleted scenes/alternate/trailers (does it really happen much that a car WORTH MENTIONING is shown in the trailer and not the movie?). Or we could just stick with having a simple comment (or write deleted in the time bit) below the main image to let people know it's from a deleted scene.
carchasesfanatic: An only color star will be enough, that will mean the car is not in the final cut, wether from a different edition of the film, or trailer, or deleted scene or alternative ending, i think colors will be confusing, byut then as G-MANN says it wont happen many times, so wheneever we get one fo these cars we can just go down and see what the color means, perhaps its not a bad idea in the end hmm what do you think ?
G-MANN: (antp wrote I will replace pics [for Ronin] by better ones)
Will they be as good as ones I can get? 720 pixels wide and vivid colours?
carchasesfanatic: Hmm i could get them as well, i have the DVD.
antp: instead of colors I could put an icon (trash for deleted scene, and find something else for the two others)
(G-MANN wrote Will they be as good as ones I can get? 720 pixels wide and vivid colours?)
I already said you yes, and I gave you an example on the forum of an identical image to what you were doing. The reason why my old pics are looking bad is that old versions of MPC had a less good quality, and that some of Ronin's pics are still from the divx.
As I said on the forum I'd like to replace these pics myself as I added most of the pics of that movie (which was the first one that I added to imcdb), and I'll do it some day
G-MANN: Will you add pictures that aren't compressed?
antp: DVD image itself is already compressed. All pics on this site are compressed. Some are more than others, I'll compress mine normally like what I do for all pics that I upload. There are already 5 GB of pictures, there would be 1 or 2 GB more if every pic was compressed like yours
