    We have all heard about water marks on films these day. The water mark is naked to the human eye but not to the eye of a cam. So I went to see many movies and started experimenting with color filter lenses that I had made up. I got 52 different shades of color. I first tried the OLD 3D glasses nothing appared. I proceeded with a filter lense that will filter the color out. The lense consist of a very pale yellow and a gray lense behind the yellow. Well what the hell I saw a yellow square in the middle of the screen. So now I filter out the color but there is this yellow square now right in the middle of the screen. So in theory if you were to make a special lense that will fit over the cam eye then in theory it should filter the water mark. I havent tried with a cam yet reason is I need to come up with a filter that will filter out the mark and not the color of the picture. It's not going to be easy so I have to experiment.
    With other movies I seen numbers others colored dots and numbers. With the pursuit of happines I seen at the bottom of the screen the name of the theater that I was at watching the movie. So now they really crack me up. with special shade of color lenses when some combined you can reveal these marks to the naked eye. Give it a try with different transparent colors. Haha It's like im a kid again going around with diferent types of lenses to reveal hidden inks. I think that is all it is on the films..just hidden inks. kinda cool with colors.
    Man do I ever enjoy doing what I do best!

    That can get you thrown out of most theaters or arrested.

    I'm pretty sure "ANY" theater would throw you out if they caught you with a cam nowadays.
    Not to mention if they call the cop's you will prob. lose the cam
    Seeing as you are breaking the law i'm sure they would have no problem confiscating it.
    It's been a long time since there has even been a film i was willing to pay a theater to see let alone risk that
    The dvd is usually just around the corner for rent or sale.

    But it would be kind of neat to take in diff. color lenses to see what is there you can't normally see 8)

    A lot easier and more flexible to digitally filter it out later.

    Anyway, cam rips are really horrible, and the sound is usually awful. Not even worth watching if it's free.

    I wouldn't be surprised if some camcorders already refuse to record watermarked films. Just like most scanners in the USA refuse to scan the US dollar at high resolution.
