Your Questions About Car Window Film
Mandy asks…
Is there a technology that can create an artifical environment?
I live in my car and I think my computer is picking up wireless signals and attempting to create or change my car‘s environment. I also believe that there are individuals that are attempting to make me believe that the technology is alive. Example: Last night I viewed film clips of the new movie “Narnia” on Yahoo. When I returned to my car my windows had been smeared with the bottled water I left in the car. The car began to freeze, and when I woke up I could not see out of the windows. The ice was only on the inside of my van. The outside was clear and all of the other vehicles had clear windows.
This is only one example of many.

You might be blacking out/assuming a multiple personality of some sort. Go to a pastor or someone you can legitimately talk to (a psychologist isn’t probably viable since you probably can’t pay the 150 bucks an hr that they charge).

David asks…
what’s this film? i think it’s recent and it’s REALLY bugging me!?
the only scene i can remember is with this guy who’s being set up or blackmailed. he’s in a bad situation and as finally convinced someone of his problem (a cop?). the “cop” is in a car with him, they are about to get evidence against the people doing the blackmailing and the “cop” is talking him through what to do when all of a sudden the cop gets shot in the head through the window of the car by the blackmailer. it’s really unexpected. i can’t think what film this is from or why i remember it!
mariok answers:
Is it Derailed?
If this is the right movie, the “cop” was actually an ex-con friend of the character played by Clive Owen.
Sandy asks…
film editing, how do I do this?
Okay, I am creating a short film and need to know how i edit the film. What i want to know is, for example, if I was filming a scene in black and white e.g a house, but i wanted a tree or a car to suddenly be in colour, like the scene flashes then certain objects are in colour? Also i want to know, say if i was filming in black and white in a moving car out of the window and i want to have the bushes becoming colourful as i drove past them so they gradually burst in to colour, basically how do i make moving colours in a black and white film etc! please help thankyou!!! Also are there any REALLY good video editing softwares out there? x
mariok answers:
For the tree/car effect. You should film it in colour. Then use colour correction and/or masking to isolate the hues of the tree or car then desaturate everything else (making it black and white.)
If you filmed in black and white then the colour wouldn’t be as natural – you would effectively be painting over a black and white image. This may or may not be the effect you want.
Adobe After Effects should allow you to do this.

What is this asian gangster film called (i belive it is called mafia or yakuza) Director as well if possible?
There was a film on a while ago japanesee or chineese gangster film… Part of the descrition of the film was A hitman and his group of would be assasins, But the story is about 4 or 5 men who are looking for for gold,… When i tuned into the film the men were in a car and one of the men had been fataly injured and dies in the car, the other men take his body back to his wife where she pulls a revolver on them (which she fires and doesnt hit them) because her husband has died, they leave and the woman almost looks lie she is going to shoot her baby but can’t. so he breaks up all the chairs in her appartment and puts her husbands dead body underneath the wood and sets it a light, when she leaves with her baby, (The camera pans out showing black somke bellowing out of the window) Another part of the film is where they cross a quarry but they have to ditch thier car because it is leaking gasoline they walk across the quarry and colapse next to a lake, Another part is where a government convoy carring the gold is ambushed wherr the main soldier is taking cover behind the tree shooting the attackers, when all of the main charecters stand up and help the soldier kill all of the attackers, they take the gold and put it onto a ship where the soldier stays with the gold and the boat but the others go back to their gang boss because he has the woman and baby from earlier help hostage, so they meet up at a restaraunt and strt messing about with a photo booth trying to get everyone in the picture when they stop noticing the boss standing on the stairs, the man tells them that the woman and the others can go but the main asassin must stay behind so he pulls up a chair and sits down, throwing the boss 4 bags full of gold bricks, when guards appear as if from nowhere, when soon after the woman leaves all of the main chartecters stay and a gunfight ensues where all of the main charecters the gang boss and his guards die… when closing you see the ohoto booth drop out the pictures that had been taken only miniutes before by of all of the main charecters

Exiled? (2006)
In 1998 Macau, former mobster Wo (Nick Cheung) lives quietly with his wife, Jin (Josie Ho), and his newborn child in a nondescript apartment, having turned over a new leaf. But vengeful mob boss Fay (Simon Yam)– whom Wo once tried to assassinate—has dispatched a pair of aging hitmen to cut that peaceful existence short. Once arrived, killers Blaze (Anthony Wong) and Fat (Lam Suet) find a second pair of hitmen, Tai (Francis Ng) and Cat (Roy Cheung), who are determined to protect Wo. After a brief showdown, the whole group lays their weapons down and bonds over dinner—after all, these men grew up together in the same gang. Reunited and hungry for another score, they plot a gold heist while a furious Fay adds the defiant clique to his hit list.
Chris asks…
If you film something in public and obtain footage of vehicles and their L-Plates?
so you end up with their L plate number, on your video footage.
Are you allowed to keep/use this footage with the vehicles L-plate numbesr showing in the footage or are you meant to blur them out ?
also what are the laws and regulations of filming say, shop window signs/deals etc ?
my sis studies film and media studies or something, and she was filming something and a very scary looking man (late 40s, 6’2 ish, longish leather jacket and a haircut resembling ringo star jumped out of his car and told us that we better ‘delete’ the footage beacuse he didnt want his car or his L-Plate showing on the footage!)
he was beyond reasoning/arguing with, his eyes were scary and i’m a guy and i dont get intimidated easily by guys or scare easily, but i just found his eyes unsettling, his gaze was unnerving to both me and my sis. London bloke too, not a foreign guy.
So we deleted the footage as he asked and he smiled at us before getting back into his car and driving off.
i still can’t forget that blokes face though…feck me, he must be someones bf/husband/father or just a ‘loner’ who drivse around the capital. heh.
was he right to ask us to do that ?

mariok answers:
In the Uk you can film anything in the street and use it without permission. You can film individuals as an individual does not own copyright of their image.
You would only have difficulty if you use the information in a way which is defamatory – ie the individual is identifiable and you do a voice over accusing them of something like committing a crime – this would then fall foul of UK slander and libel laws.
You also have to be careful when using films that feature children for obvious reasons.
Otherwise – feel free to film your local street and roads and use it as you wish as there is no criminal action or civil action that could be taken.

William asks…
CAN A CAR AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR be RECONSTRUCTED ?
I let the technician do that after I told him it would be too expensive to replace the compressor and then he offered to reconstruct it for less money…..now after one day it does’nt release any cool air plus my windows are covered with an OILY Film…
mariok answers:
A/C compressors in today’s world are nearly impossible to rebuild in the field (shop). The bodies are made of aluminum, the bolts are made of steel, and when it’s worn, it’s worn, more like shot to hell.
If you windows were covered with an oily film, sounds to me like the compressor blew out the evaporator core and that the system busted and blew out the refrigerant oil inside the vehicle which is why the oily film and why the system is not blowing cold. The only solution is to change the evaporator core, change the a/c compressor, change the reciever/dryer and orfice tube, run a vacuum on the system, check for leaks and charge it up.
Hope that helps.
