[edit] Use in movies
I have not heard anything about Quantel products being used in modern movies (Last I heard, the opening title sequence from Goldeneye was made with Quantel Domino. I heard more about Shake being used in Lord of the Rings. And I thought Sin City was produced with all off-the-shelf software. Can someone back up this Quantel claim? --Navstar 18:27, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Have a look at the film showcase on the Quantel website: http://www.quantel.com/site/en.nsf/HTML/filmlist?OpenDocument I will remove the 'citation needed' next to film list--BackStagePass 07:30, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- I've added the references to a references section - but the Lotus Notes document in question doesn't mention Lord of the Rings. Megapixie 07:45, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Effect Systems Ltd
Any one know the exact year that Effect Systems took over support of legacy products. Was it 2002? --BackStagePass 18:46, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Clean up 31st October 2006 by Fourohfour
Nice work on the clean up :-) My only query re-reading what I wrote about Domino being a 'first' as Kodak had a similar product around that time. Needs more research to confirm or not if Quantel was first. --BackStagePass 14:32, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
After doing some inital research it looks like Domino and Kodak Cineon were launched in the same year so not sure if Quantel should be a 'first' ???--BackStagePass 14:46, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks; actually, if you look at what I did, you'll see that there was little actual correction or rewriting per se. All I did was move related paragraphs/sections together and put in more headings. I'm surprised how often this makes an apparently longwinded, overly-detailed article into something much better looking and more accessible.
- Anyway, what I'm saying is that I didn't really change or add any content. The "historical firsts" heading merely reflected what the article itself already claimed. Whether that's right or not, I don't know. Fourohfour 15:29, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Was more questioning my own addition of Domino to 'firsts'. A colleague of mine worked for Quantel, will ask him if he has more info on Domino with relation to the Kodak Cineon.--BackStagePass 01:53, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Double checked with an ex Quantel employee and Kodak Cineon came before Domino so will remove it from 'firsts'. --BackStagePass 21:43, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
