Ok, thanks for helping out. :) I think I'll just send you the subfile then, I have checked all the timings again and they are fine.

I just want all your opinions again on how to handle the many computer graphic displays. I remember you asked me before Silver, if I could make blue colored subs that matched the films displays and place the specific lines beside their Italian counterpart, although it was a great idea, I think we'll just have to give up on that unfortunately. I'm sorry.

1st: I don't think you would know where to look as the whole screen will get cluttered, and these sequences are very short in duration.

2nd: Some of the screens are animated so I don't know how aestethically pleasing it would be to have the subs spread out all over the screen before the graphic animation is fully in place.

3rd: Some displays don't have room for it.

Anyway, if it wasn't bad enough that these computer displays are short in duration, they also have dialogue in some instances. So the least important info to the story will have to go, if we don't want 7 rows of text that we're not gonna be able to read unless we paused. Fortunately most of that dialogue is gibberish. I'll go max 3 rows and split them up if it is more text, more than 3 gets damn ugly and hard to read IMO.

Sorry for the long speech. ;)

Screen 1:

Deleted line of dialogue heard over this screen:  "--the information on subject THX 1138... 1-1-3-8."

 

 

  

Screen 2:

Which one of these two stays? the dialogue below is spoken by the Hologram in the middle of the sequence.

 

Screen 3:

Deleted line of dialogue heard over this screen: "--electronic monitoring of subject THX 1138."

Thoughts, suggestions, opinions?
