Stub This article has been rated as Stub-Class on the quality scale. ??? This article has not yet received a rating on the priority scale.
Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

This is a new form of stop motion animation currently in use. For instance, it was recently seen in a national sprint ad campaign. Many examples can also be found on youtube after searching for "light writing".

[edit] removal of speedy deletion

I removed the tags because this is simply not under {{db-bio}}. It's by no means an article yet. It has no cited verifiability or notability, and it could thus be challenged on those, but that just needs a little time by the creator. Fiddle Faddle 13:19, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

What's the deal with citing a random post from a message board that has nothing to do with anything? (205.243.71.71 (talk) 04:31, 5 December 2007 (UTC))

[edit] how to add images etc??

this is a new form of art and deserves a page, please point me in the right direction to ad images/video User:Thecinematographer

Image addition is simple. You use the "Upload file" link in the left hand margin, but must be certain that yo do not upload material that is the copyright of others unless you have and can show to Wikipedia their permission.

Video is not addable. Wikipedia does not have the extension that allows embedding of video.

That something "deserves a page" is a sentiment that many people may agree with. But "deserves" and "qualifies for" are different. I believe this does qualify for a page, but, and this is important, the page must assert the notability of the topic with citations. I am placing a "placeholder" for citations on the article page. These uss a pair or tags to flag them. They work thus:

Between <ref> and </ref> you place the citation, ideally using {{Cite web}} or another citation template to expand the reference. This then goes automatically into the referecnes. The best references/citations have a short quotation from the cited source. "Short" is important otherwise copyright is breached. Look at WP:RS to understand Reliable Sources.

This is part of wikification. Other parts are to wikilink frok this article to other relevant articles, and to wikilink to this article form other relevant articles.

The {{Hangon}} message is only relevant for Speedy Deletion. Please only use it to gain a short elay when an article is nominated for that. Templates such as {{Wikify}} "just" mean "please wikify". Fiddle Faddle 06:29, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

thank you for all your help, for editing the page, and keeping me out of the "deserves" gutter and on the "qualifies" highway, is the page looking somewhat respectable? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thecinematographer (talk • contribs) 14:05, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
