Ouch ! The first one hurts !

You don't have to put them here, but I think it's really nice to see all the improvements :)
I replaced http://whatthemovie.com/shot/2647 but forgot to save the old link first :p

I'm pretty sure this one is distorted (since the movie OAR is 2.35:1) : http://whatthemovie.com/shot/475

DONE (them00ch)

Doing this has made me realise there are a lot of shots which look ok at first glance, but when you compare them you realise there is quite a difference between passable quality, and DVD quality.

Mikebozzio: I just checked FMJ and only found one shot (http://whatthemovie.com/shot/448) that needed to be replaced. That movie has been brought out in two different ratio's, though, but both are good.

Thanks Aralis, both done :)

mmm sorry MisterZob but I dont fully agree with replacing dvd shots with Blu-ray... In that case we are taking it one step further, this is only to replace bad quality non dvd shots

@Chrisy
I don't understand what's wrong with that. There's already lots of Blu-ray shots on WTM. And I don't understand why you would like the shot to look better... but not too much.
The main problem with those shots above is that they were from a heavily cropped source. I could have used shots from OAR DVD instead (I own them too). But why would I use an intermediate quality if I can have the best available today ?
I'm not talking about updating all DVD shots into Blu-ray shots, that would be silly. I'm just saying : if I update a low quality / distorted / cropped / non DVD shot, why not making it look as good as possible ?
Actually, if I hadn't written down those replacement shot were from Blu-ray, would you have noticed ?

hey guys, great to see so many improvements.
There is one thing that kind of bothers me though. If you look at this thread, it's a huge spoiler collection.
I know these are all still out of the archive and you can request a solution anytime, but if you just post the old and new stills without the movie name, that way people
who haven't solved the still can still get the kick of finally solving stills you have been pondering about for a year. I hope my point is clear.
aside from that, i have one question. I uploaded a replacement still myself, but do the stills automaticly go through, or does a moderator check the "improvement?"

@forerunner
It's no more of a spoiler than looking at any movie page and seeing all the archive shots. I won't add any more titles if you feel it's important.

I didn't realize the first one was cropped and wrong aspect ratio, sorry about that, should have read and look better (as usual ^^)
But when it comes to blueray, I still think this shouldn't be done if it is the only reason for the replacement. This replacement thingy is supposed to be to replace shots that are wrong: wrong aspect ratio, bad quality. But replacing a totally normal dvd shot with its blueray version is not fair imo, even if the first uploader doesn't lose any credit.
As Lordmyst said, if someone decide to replace one of my less good quality shot from the beginning of WTM, I will be perfectly happy, as this is fair, didnt come from dvd, should look different... But if someone replace a totally good shot with blueray, I will not find it fair at all

DONE by Zythux ;)
Thx.

Done

LordMyst, perfectly fine DVD-shots are NOT going to be replaced by bluray.
That first con-air shot was not really dvd-quality, it's full of fuzzyness on my screen...

oke then something is wrong with my monitor

but Zythux can you give a shout to siren that you replace his shot?
that would be fair

Or maybe for now as politeness just leaving a shout directly in the shot with reason of replacement, this should be enough, the uploader will be notified of the shout

Maybe there has to be a checking? For example, someone replaces a shot, and then a moderator first has to accept it. Otherwise a fairly good shot gets replaced with a very good shot. It makes WTM better, but to others it would seem the first uploader has uploaded a bad-quality shot. While that wasn't the case at all.

If people are kind they can replace this http://whatthemovie.com/shot/29720 from Saving Private Ryan, it's bad quality and I uploaded it (shame on me :P)

except we dont see the old shots at the moment so it is hard to check but hopefully something will be done so we can check better :)

I know I would :p

maybe i'm to stupid xD but how do i replace a shot? do i need to post it here and somebody does it for me? in case i would like to replace one it would be nice to get a upload mode for it where you type in the number of the shot and replace it with the new one, an automatic request for the first uploader could be also implemented that way :)

Aralis is right:

NEW: Replacement Snapshot Upload

* Replacement Upload
If you want to replace a poor quality snapshot with one of a better quality choose this option.
You see this option because your are a Cinematographer or higher.
