How are you grabbing screenshots? It appears that the aspect ratio is off as the people in the shots appear to be too skinny. VLC is a good program to grab screenshots. ---[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] ([[User talk:Ben41|talk]]) 16:30, 22 May 2014 (EDT) | How are you grabbing screenshots?

Thanks for asking. Before you create a page, please make sure the title is eligible and please have good screencaps. Almost all new pages will get looked over by admins anyway. If you have any concerns as to the eligibility of a particular title, you can ask one of us. As for building the page, it's important that you do it because you've actually watched the movie and there's no guarantee anyone else has. If you're unsure about coding, you can use the sample code page I have here. As for time, the actual creation of the page shouldn't take more than maybe an hour. That's not much if you've already put in two hours to watch the film and maybe another hour to go through the screencaps. Good luck! --Funkychinaman (talk) 13:16, 13 May 2014 (EDT)
- BTW, if you have any doubts about whether a title is eligible or not, please ask. --Funkychinaman (talk) 21:21, 13 May 2014 (EDT)
That's great, many thanks. The titles I have are: Funeral in Berlin, Billion Dollar Brain, Brass Target and Breakthrough. The only issue I may have is with the screencaps as the first two titles are taken from normal DVD (not bluray!) but Brass Target and Breakthrough are from VHS as they have never officially been released on DVD. Should I still put them up or is the quality going to be an issue? Thanks again! --Maskedweasel (talk) 03:56, 14 May 2014 (EDT)
- Let's do the two Harry Palmer films first. --Funkychinaman (talk) 11:12, 14 May 2014 (EDT)
- I certainly hope your caps look better than the ones you provided for Zulu Dawn. If you need tips on getting good screencaps, please refer to the IMFDB Screencapping Guide. --Funkychinaman (talk) 12:34, 14 May 2014 (EDT)
LOl! Yeah, the Zulu Dawn caps came from a DVD that came free with a newspaper which hadn't been remastered! It's not exactly a favorite film of mine, so I won't buy it!!! In all honesty I think the Breakthrough screenaps I have are worse, but it's quite a rare film. I am away for a week so will upload the Harry Pamler films when I return next week. Cheers for the help! --Maskedweasel (talk) 03:48, 15 May 2014 (EDT)
Your screenshots looked squished
