Administrators Phil Parker Posted November 23, 2017 Administrators Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) 'Borrow' some glasses on your next cinema visit. some marketing there, showing nothing but creating intrigue! Modern cinema glasses usually reply on polarising lenses to split the picture. With modern projection equipment, you get better colours but the glasses cost more to produce. For the BRM pictures, you need red and green lenses - but we are giving you a pair so there is no need to steal them from the local cinema. If only the world were in 3D .......oh It is. Which is why presenting layouts in 3D on the page is such a sensible idea. :-) Edited November 23, 2017 by Phil Parker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulG Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Perhaps the next move will be part of the page to have a scratch area to release smells as well. We could then have a 3d article on soldering and the smell of burning fingers and flux!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie Whizz Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Will the images be better than those on one of these? I'm sure I had something like that as a promotional offer from Weetabix, circa 1960, though I'm blowed if I can remember what was in the pictures that came with the cereal boxes. I even remember the TV jingle (to the tune of 'Johnny comes marching home'): "You can get the Viewer from Weetabix, It'll only cost you seven-and-six ..." 7s. 6d. - the equivalent of 371/2 p. decimal - sounds completely peanuts today, but was a pretty serious sum for a lad to ask your parents for back then when it wasn't your birthday or Christmas - plus a little more for a Postal Order to send, as only the middle-class (and not all of them) had current accounts and chequebooks back then.

chrisf Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I will try to be patient until my subscription copy arrives. This is of necessity since I did not achieve half of what I planned yesterday. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you've managed to bring it alive well enough with your more than adequate description, thank for that, I will now find a bucket to heave into....................... Fair comment - and definitely a case of "too much information" ... . I do my best to be “helpful”. Hmmm ... glad to hear that ... :bad: . Ultimately, novel approaches (gimmicks, if you like) are only worth having if they enhance the reader experience - you know - make thinks more enjoyable. Turning to the 3D photos, I saw them yesterday - certainly excellent photos. The overall effect reminded me of some factual* TV programmes - when they take old photos and move elements of the photos around in front of each other. * I've been led to believe that, for a number of broadcasters, programmes intended to educate people seem to cease to be "educational programmes" the moment their target audience reaces the age of about 10 or 12. After this point, I think they become known as "factual programmes" - like a large percentage of the stuff that finds its way onto BBC4, for instance. For me, pseudo-3D is certainly an interesting way of presenting images - something I personally might even wish to experiment with - but I'm not sure whether I'd wish it to become a permanent feature. If nothing else, doing this too often might start to dilute the effect. Meanwhile, also at "Warley", I was really impressed by the "Ijsselstein" forced perspective diorama - amazing - so amazing, in fact, that I felt forced to go back several times to give this one another look.

Well, this 52-year-old is certainly fed up of often finding nothing worth watching - being spoken at like a 2-year-old - and generally patronised - by broadcast networks. I'm pretty sure it's nothing to do with "the special way the BBC is funded". If this comment is considered to be too political - or otherwise contentious - I have no problem if the "mods" feel it necessary to delete it. Huw.

I always feel like I am being addressed as if I were in my dotage, first they tell me what I'm about to see, then, when I've seen it, they tell me what I've just watched, then they tell me the next thing I'm going to see etc, repeat until end of programme or I have lost patience with it all.

RMweb Premium JDW Posted December 2, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 2, 2017 I always just assume its a way to get an hour long programme out of less than an hour of footage on daytime TV - Start with couple A buying house A, then individual B buying house B, then cut back to A and recap before showing what has happened, then cut back to B, recap, update, then show a taster of what is to come after the adverts. Adverts then followed by a recap of A and B, ... repeat ad nauseam. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
