Author Topic: Help with Rollerball Miguel Angel Martorell Film Handler Posts: 81 From: Valencia, Spain Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-06-2002 07:01 PM                     I´ve just built up the movie today and in the reel 4 it seems that more than a half of the footage seems to be shooted with a green filter. Is part of the movie or is a laboratory failure?. I think is part of the movie but I told it to my manager and he has said that tomorrow after the last show I have to stay and watch the movie. With your help I hope to be in home at 1 a.m not at 3a.m. Thanks y un saludo.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 03-06-2002 07:07 PM                    Yes this is part of the movie, It involves a road chase and the whole sequence is shot to make it looke like night vision.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-06-2002 07:20 PM                        Oh yeah, it's supposed to be that way. It might be the dumbest night-scene effect ever.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 03-06-2002 07:56 PM                    Yes, it's supposed to be that way. It just doesn't make much sense because it seems like the view through a light amplifying (night vision) lens but it's never explained who is supposed to be looking through one.  |  IP: Logged Miguel Angel Martorell Film Handler Posts: 81 From: Valencia, Spain Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-06-2002 08:56 PM                     Thanks everybody.

It's called "This Movie Sucks Syndrome" If you replace the print, you will get another one just as bad. I suggest burning the print and saving everyone alot of trouble.  |  IP: Logged Miguel Angel Martorell Film Handler Posts: 81 From: Valencia, Spain Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-07-2002 06:17 AM                     Yes, I was thinking that "this movie sucks syndrome" maybe was present on this print. That´s why I didn´t want to stay and watch the whole movie. I have better things to do. For instance, see "Summer of ´42" that it has arrived me on dvd. That´s cinema, not the f###### Rollerball. I hope somebody find a cure for this syndrome but it´s gonna take years I think... Un saludo  |  IP: Logged
