Film Out (NTSC)[edit]
This artcle might qualify as original research. My efforts to verify have proven futile. --TantalumTelluride 21:26, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- "Film Out" IS legit. Film out is a real term and a real process. In filmmaking, film out is the actual term used to describe the process of turning a video program into a film print. Also, it is broader than merely the film recording stage of the process. Sadly, it is spelled different ways -- with or without a hyphen, or as one word. It seems the hyphenated version may be the most common. The film out process is significally different depending on the regional standard of the video original in question, NTSC, PAL or SECAM; thus separate discussions are warrented for each type. Moreover, it would be worth finding out if the term is mainly used in NTSC regions -- it is a good bet that a different term is used in Europe, where one must cope with the speed version frame match choice of PAL when doing film out.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Moontaurus (talk • contribs) 21:50, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge into Film-out Niz
- Hi there. "Film out" is process understood in the world of video and filmmaking, beyond just the industry. Useful "research" for instance: one can check in with one of the many "film out" companies linked in the article. One can also check in with independent filmmakers on IMDB and elsewhere on the internet -- especially documentary filmmakers. Thousands of filmmakers each year film out their projects. One can also find many articles on the subject, such as in American Cinemagrapher and many other popular as well as trade journals. I am sure that as this article matures that there will be added related discussion to the many known documentaris -- such as Dog Town and Z Boys, Farenheit 911, many many others -- that have been filmed out. Look before you leap :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moontaurus (talk • contribs) 22:03, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge with Film-out and keep whichever title is punctuated correctly. I've never heard of this process, and I still don't really understand what it is. Due to the unusual tone of the article, I thought it might have been a non-notable process that isn't really important to filmmaking. Please don't take this nomination personally. I wasn't sure that this article was legitimate. --TantalumTelluride 22:09, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge per TanatlumTelluride. --howcheng [ t • c • w • e ] 22:16, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge. I used to work in video post-production. The firm where I was employed didn't do this but I can confirm it's no hoax. The article is badly in need of citations. Durova 22:53, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I shall personally merge the information for the Film Out (NTSC) article into the Film-out article and do all that is neccessary to get it above board. User:Moontaurus has been in contact with me via e-mail and I should be able to complete this task in consultatation with him. Please only delete this article once I have posted back here to say that I have done this.

- Hi Aaron, the original author here. I'm a step of head of you. I have already re-written the article into the "film-out" page. Everybody, feel free to delete my original "Film Out (NTSC)" page. The article rightly belongs in subheadings of "film-out". Wikify it there instead! :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moontaurus (talk • contribs) 01:06, 10 November 2005
