1. Who are we? |
|
|
Well, we
call ourselves ephian and KueiLuola (aka
the defenestrated one), gender female. We're located in the greater Chicagoland
area of the US. We do this website for fun and to promote interest
in some shows we think deserve it. If you want to contact us, you can do so from here.
We always like to hear from visitors to our website. |

2. What do we want? |
|
|
Yes, we know this faq is sounding
Vorlon/Shadow-esque, but we can't help it. Yes, we want you to
have a fun visit to our site and become interested in some of
these good shows we cover.
The other thing we want is
something for the website - we want SCRIPTS ! We would like
to include real shooting scripts of the series and movies we
feature after the shows are aired. We've found that fans are very
interested to read the shooting scripts for shows and compare them
with end product that they see on the screen. If you have any
scripts for these series that you might be willing to provide,
please email us!

3. How do we
get all those pictures? |
|
|
All pictures in the Galleries are from screen
captures done on the computer with a video capture card.
We get captures from four different types of sources, each giving a different
quality image. Our first captures were done from video tapes, later switching to
a DVR* as a source. The High
Definition (HD) pictures are from over-the-air broadcasts received
with a standard antenna. To see how the pictures look from different sources,

4. Why are the
pictures in the Galleries smaller than the originals? |
|
|
The Galleries are set up for
episode/movie recaps. So we use a layout that we hope lets the story be told
by the captions and the pictures, and this means that all of the pictures are
made smaller to fit a smoothly flowing layout. When you see 'Larger' written below any
gallery picture, you can click on the word and go to a full
size image. We've tried to do this with scattered pictures in our
better-quality galleries. |

5. What software do we
use to process the pictures? |
|
|
We use a full version of PhotoPaint
from Corel Draw and use batch processing for most photo
manipulation. |

posting them on the web. |
