I was watching this DVD & couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this shot! Too Incredible!!!

What shots do you like?

Hicks007 · 06-20-2003, 04:50 PM

Is that real??

Or is it a painting background?

Assuming it's real, wow!

LBPound23 · 06-20-2003, 06:51 PM

Here is the first picture NOT stretched...

Monster · 06-20-2003, 07:06 PM

awsome picture... very nice and i was woundering is that a painted back round???

videoworx · 06-20-2003, 07:16 PM

that is NOT a painted background. They do have mountains in Europe...

when this movie was made, it was very hard to mask people moving - I think Temple of Doom was one of the first movies that started doing that.

cherno · 06-20-2003, 07:17 PM

I don't believe that it was a painted background. I am pretty sure that it was a real location shoot, but will have to check my DVD again.

That is a very cool screenshot, but from the title of the thread i thought it was going to be a cool screencapture contest.

It would be if you posted screen captures. I think that's what newt was going for. Here's one I love:

Oscar Antonio M · 06-20-2003, 08:09 PM

From what movie is that from? (MurDiddlyUrdler's screenshot)

If you get a chance, you HAVE to visit Switzerland. I was there briefly and it is indeed that beautiful (in places).

incubus0 · 06-20-2003, 09:45 PM

From a great flick . . .

Oscar Antonio M · 06-20-2003, 10:56 PM

This one too, even though i havent seen Band of Brothers...

jdurg · 06-20-2003, 11:16 PM

I'm quite fond of this one. (God bless having friends with relatives in the "Acadamy").

RamonesGirl · 06-21-2003, 12:15 AM

I love this one myself-

Oscar Antonio M · 06-21-2003, 05:00 AM

I know this one is squished but still, i love it.

Too bad i don't have any dvd software to get my scene to show. But if anyone wants to get a shot of Bruce Willis in the rain with his arms open from Unbreakable would be great

Reaver · 06-21-2003, 05:49 AM

This film has the most beautiful imagery I've ever seen in a film, period.

EskimoJoe · 06-21-2003, 07:38 AM

Stupid question that is probably answered somewhere else, but how do you get screenshots?

Most, if not all, software DVD players on a computer have a screen-capture feature in them. I know that in PowerDVD if you press the C button while a film is playing, it will capture that frame which is on screen and put it into your pre-defined capture folder. That's how I grab screen-captures. I think WinDVD and the other software players have a similar feature which you should be able to find in the options/configurations menu.

Oscar Antonio M · 06-21-2003, 08:09 PM

I love this one

SkottDMD · 06-22-2003, 01:23 AM

Not relly a screen shot (too lazy

) but this has to be the most beautiful scene I have ever seen, the music that plays also makes it stick out:

Bridge on the River Kwai .. Gotta love it!

PolloDiablo · 06-22-2003, 11:17 PM

I just saw the Hulk last night and I think there was some absolutely amazing imagery in that film.

Yes, you do have to love it. One of my favorite films of all-time, despite the fact that they changed so much from the true story.

When I frst saw that pic I though it was from A Bridge Too Far, but the 101st was in that too so it makes sense.

P.S. If/When you finally see Band of Brothers, stick with it through the frist few Training episodes, it gets much better.

P.P.S. An actual combat photo of the campaign depicted in A Bridge Too Far (Market Garden)

WinDVD 5 is a free download trial version (no idea when/if it expires) that will let you take captures.

Here's a few I grabbed using it last night.
