Jun 3	answered	How do they film minors smoking?
May 13	comment	History and reasoning behind average length of a feature film During the 20 years or so that VHS tapes were the primary medium for retail movie sales and rentals, few movies were released longer than two hours, since that was the capacity of a VHS T120 tape, played at standard speed. With DVDs now the medium of distribution, that limit no longer applies.

Apr 24	comment	Walking around someone who is moving in Slow Motion? Given the title of the question "Walking around someone who is in Slow Motion", I thought they might have used the same technique, i.e. a circle of still cameras as mentioned in my answer.
Apr 24	comment	Walking around someone who is moving in Slow Motion? Paragraph starting with "In order to understand" in Philosophical Potential in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" -- where it discusses a slow-motion scene with Giles and Buffy in the episode "Once More, with Feeling" as similar to scenes in the Matrix. But perhaps there was more than one slow-motion scene like this. As I mentioned, I did not see the episode.

Feb 20	comment	How are older movies post-converted to 3D? @Incognito, I agree that you did answer my question, and upvoted your answer to offset the -1. However the first line was a little misleading and sounded like you were just going to explain how 3D works. Your links were useful, but I accepted Advicer's answer because the second article he linked to addressed more of the issues in my question.
Feb 20	comment	How are older movies post-converted to 3D? The comments in the second article (Art of Stereo conversion: 2D to 3D) you linked to, by people that actually worked on some of the conversions were very interesting. That article also answers the questions in the second paragraph of my question -- it is still mostly a manual process, involving hundreds or more artists.
