This totally doesn't clash at all.
In my TRS discussion on VR Troopers subpage for Special Effect Failure, I decided to move the show's examples back to SpecialEffectFailure.LiveActionTV and Stock Footage Failure.

But the page image that I've tagged on the right needs to go somewhere else. As Maxwellsilver said on that TRS article, he suggested moving it to Live-Action TV subpage for Special Effect Failure. Do you agree with him, or should it go onto Stock Footage Failure instead?

I can't tell what's happening.

If I read the example on the page right, the character with the cage in the foreground is supposed to be standing out from the rest of the scene due to bad green-screening, but the overall bad quality of the pic blunts the effect.

I don't think that pic should go anywhere. The quality is worse than the Special Effect Failure.

[up]Well, that image shouldn't go to waste.

Gonna agree with the sentiment that it doesn't seem to illustrate anything all that well.

[up] That's pretty good. I'd love to use something from the original Land of the Lost (1974) but everything I've found is way too low quality to use.

[up][up]Isn't that image a little too grainy?

It's higher quality than the other one.

The image in 7 is from Doctor Who, which has its own Special Effect Failure page. (It's also a frame of the collage there.)

I feel like anything from early Ultraman would totally fit.... this is just something I found on google but a better image might be around:

The original costume was just downright awful:

[up] But that's a costume, not a special effect.

Bumping this. Do we have any other image suggestions, or is this going to be BUPKIS?

I have to bump this thread again because it's not getting attention. A single proposition crowner, perhaps?

This doesn't have any consensus that anything needs to be done with that image. There's no point in a crowner. And please don't bump threads like this.

In fact, since this thread is basically a shambling zombie at this point, I'm putting it down.
