"Tall Tales" Alphabet and nitpicky error

[fangirlsays.livejournal.com]

I noticed a kind of neat little detail in "Tall Tales," and when I was screencapping it, I found an error as well.



Near the end of the episode, when we first see the scantily-clad Dean Dreamgirls, there are two blackboards in the background. At the top of the blackboard is an unusual-looking alphabet:


The letters are little people, some kissing, some holding hands, etc. A closeup, lightened a bit:
Now, what's wrong with that picture? There's no 'N'! :) What happened to the poor 'N?!'

Never fear, though, because in a different shot... The 'N' reappears:

And you can see the 'N' here, too:


Now I want to hear the story behind the alphabet itself and the missing N. :D

Awesome catch, both with noticing the people and the missing 'N'. Makes you go 'hmmm'... *wink*
Thanks for sharing!

its not the disapearing and reappearing letter that bothers me about the scene but the fact that the alphabet is written across the blackboard at all. I mean...its a college campus. I don't know of any schools except for elentary schools that have the alphebet written across the blackboard.

it just doesn't belong in a college classrom.

Take a closer look at the alphabet. It's a bit fitting considering it's fronted by two temptresses.

Good catch,I didn't notice that and I have seen it several times.

Hee! I like that your post came right after "It's a bit fitting considering it's fronted by two temptresses." It sounds like you hadn't noticed the two temptresses. (I know, you weren't actually replying to that post...)

I have two fonts like that. Although, mine are naughty. One is naked stick figures making the letters and the other is just naked stick figures in positions. Dean would get a kick out of them. *wicked evil grin*

I always knew that "L" was a naughty one!

Nice catch, dude. I never would have noticed that. Now I'm all curious what other stuff they throw into the episodes that slips by me.

LOL good eye

wonder if the missing letters mean something

[akarui-rynka.livejournal.com]

Good eye. I was going to say the 'N' was off being Naughty somewhere, but then I noticed in the pan shot...there's no 'O'.

Which does make one wonder what exactly was up with the props department? Did they keep redrawing the letters? (and if so, why, and why not the same) Were the letters added in in post? Are they really well meshed CGI?
