Then the 'computer wizz' selects the illegible liscence plate and presses the 'magically make crisp, clear and highres' filter and it magically zooms in to show a perfect photo of the liscence plate.
happens all the time in films.

hahaha, this bugs me so much! But alas, viewers don't have the patience to have the character view all the files before getting to the most relevant one, and then there's also the worry about corporations and having their logos and pictures visible in a computer program.
I think it's really funny how almost anything can be found out by using a computer or how character can always find out someone's password by just thinking hard enough for 1min.

easy. their computers run so fast and perform amazing stunts because they only run system fonts.

Baskerville, those types of things always happen in CSI, but I hope they actually have that technology available.

haha i've had to fake that very effect for teevee before baskerville!
would it be better to watch the expert messing about for ages in photoshop just to get some crappy image at the end that could equally be a license number or jesus's face?

lets face it, if they filmed how we use computers in the real world it would just be tedious and boring!

haha vespa ,true. I'm sure governments do have that filter. If so they should liscence it to adobe. It would make my job easier.
My friend does effects for tv too, he's been doing all the computer visuals for footballer's wives, how depressing.

Yeah, like in 24, it seems that if you've got a laptop and a fast wireless connection, chloe can hack into just about anywhere.
The best one was some really shit film I saw about the internet, called Killer net – so shit I walked out – but the web browser interface was all gothic and 'scary' and teh web pages looked like bad 1st year university projects... anyone see this piece of trash?!?

Let's not forget Enemy of the State, where they magically zoomed in and rotated the angle of the image.
WTF?!
