Audacity in "The Blind Side"

Post by AndrewTheArt » Sun Nov 29, 2009 3:15 am

Hey guys --

I went to see "The Blind Side" (link here -- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0878804/) the other night at my local theatre, and in one particular scene, they were glancing at a computer screen to see Michael Oher's mad football skills on video.

Being a computer person, I immediately scanned the desktop on the computer in the movie. It was running Windows XP and had several rows of icons. On one of the rows ... I SWEAR I saw an Audacity icon! It was unmistakable, actually.

Any thoughts? Anyone else notice this? Audacity is popular ... haha

If you haven't seen the movie yet, but plan to, please watch out for this.

I've had to do this. The Production Director tells you, "Fill up the computer screen with stuff. You have no budget."

I used to work for a company that made fake computer screens and video systems. Ever watch Murphy Brown? All the screens, video and computer on that show were fake. Some of the screens were designed in our studio. Some were copies of existing screens. We used free software wherever possible.

That puts a different perspective on this ... very interesting though. Makes sense.

Thanks for the insight.

Can't say I've seen Murphy Brown.
