Although, I think that each of the four screenshots could have done with a label to show which chapter they represent.

I was pleased with the effectiveness of the logo removal script. I would also stress the importance of viewing on a display with properly calibrated black levels - on the initial black screen between the TriStar logo and the opening titles, I could see a shadow when viewing on an overly-bright LCD, but this was not visible on a plasma that had been calibrated with DVE.


Yes Moth, I agree with you, the scene selection could have used alittle more "description" or numbering to identify the chapters. This did cross my mind when putting it together, but when thinking about what I could do, I realize I couldnt really do anything without going back to the person who made the menu art since I didnt have his fonts (he can take a while so it would have been a longer wait) and if I started to add stuff it would have looked awkward. In the end I ended up using the selector bar just being visible on the page selected and concluding that was enough.

And yes, I agree with you on the logo shadow on a non calibrated display. If you have your contrast/brightness/backlight cranked high, it will be noticeable.
When all those settings are where they should be, it should be almost unnoticeable, like I said in the post above.

Edit:
Also each page starts off at the first chapter for that screen, so it should go 1, 5, 9, and 13

And the chapter scenes arent exact matches of points in the movie, instead I purposefully chose chapter scenes pictures in the menu of points that were to depict what scene that chapter was suppose to represent, what part of the movie was coming up, sometimes the pictures are only 5 seconds ahead of the chapter point, sometimes they are minutes ahead of the chapter point, but in the end rest assured, this was done on purpose
