Oh jeese, I think I just messed up the page.

Can someone revert for me?

[edit] Ken Burns Effect

Does the Ken Burns Effect warrant a new article? -- Mjwilco 03:44, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

If more stuff was added, yes.

Is the "Ken Burns Effect" really career information? A link to the main article when it is mentioned in the body of this one would be sufficient. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robcat2075 (talk • contribs) 21:14, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Needs at least mention of Geoffrey Ward. --Jerzy(t) 21:24, 2005 Jan 22 (UTC)

[edit] Too Human

An article by Ken Burns, "Too Human To Be Heroes," appeared on form D of the 2006 New Jersey High School Proficeincy Assessment (HSPA).

[edit] Ken Burns photo

FYI: Someone removed the photo I uploaded of Ken Burns. I have returned it. The photographer who took this photo not only gave his permission to use it, but also informed me that all the work produced by his university is in the PD. Here is the correspondence regarding his permissions. --Mactographer 09:22, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy Section

While I don't mind the copy-past from The War article itself, the wording seems poorly done and at least one big citation is needed. RegBarc 03:08, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I worked it over a bit. It seemed almost horrifically anti-Ken Burns, so I tried to balance it a bit and I added a link to PBS's response. It could probably still use a bit of work though. SetarconeX 22:18, 06 May 2007 (UTC)

• Thank you! A much better job than I could have dreamed of doing, thank you! RegBarc 23:40, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Exclusivity to PBS till 2022

http://www.pbs.org/aboutpbs/news/20070112_KenBurns.html This deal should probably be added to the Career section. --mike409 02:24, 2007 July 16 (UTC)

[edit] Opie and Anthony

This guy was on Opie and Anthony yesterday and talked about a lot of stuff, can we cover some of it on his page?The Cleveland Browns are awesome! 14:54, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ken Burns Effect

The article states that the panning/zooming technique was

first used in Alistair Cooke's 13 part PBS mini-series "Alistair Cooke's America" in 1973.

but the technique was used much earlier, for example in children's programs; I remember watching "moving" stories read from books on the Captain Kangaroo show in the 1960s. I'm marking it with a "citation needed" tag for now until someone can cite a credible sourec for the claim. — Loadmaster (talk) 18:12, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
