Wetlook World Forum

Only slight problem......the dye in red dresses started to "bleed" in the pool...and so did the blue dresses....so the dresses started out being bright pink and red and blue...and by the end of the shoot all the girls dresses had turned to pale blue and red ...ha ha.

One more comment in relation to the Sharon Tate "12 Chairs" clip....as it relates to today's technology. I recently bought 3 DVRs and TIVOs....and while the recording quality is superb when you use a TIVO or DVR connected to satellite or digital cable.....DVRs and TIVOs and digital players in general have one major flaw that I hate....i.e. you cannot "scan" properly when you record on digital video hard drive or record to dvd. Whenever you try to do a high speed "scan"...digital video cannot scan....it "skips" and just jumps from one segment to the next....i.e. in high speed scan mode...a DVR or TIVO is skipping at 4-5 second intervals.....and how does this affect poor Sharon Tate....she gets "lost" on digital scanning devices....cos her wet scene lasts for only 3 seconds...and a DVR will skip by that so fast and skip that scene entire....so you will never catch that scene or any scenes that are "fleeting" (i.e. music video wet scenes) if you use a DVR or TIVO. You are likely to miss things...if you use high speed scanning on a DVR.....so old analog VHS vcrs are still the best devices to scan things aty high speed....cos with a vcr in scan mode....you are seeing every INCH of tape...and not skipping past things.

So....DVRs are nice for some things....but I don't like using them when I am scanning hours of footage to hunt for wet scenes...cos you will never catch wet scenes in adverts or music videos using a DVR....it is still better to scan footage using a tape device like a VCR.
