Abstract: An interproximal gauge (36) includes a plurality of blades (38), each having a key portion (40) and a handle (42) adjoining the key portion (40). The key portion (40) exhibits a predetermined thickness which is different for different ones of the blades (38) and is configured for placement in an interproximal gap (24) between adjacent teeth (26). The handle (42) includes notches (42) having numerical values representing the predetermined thickness of a particular one of the blades (38). Successive ones of the blades (38) are placed in the interproximal gap (24) and one of the blades (38) is selected having a predetermined thickness that is substantially equivalent to a width (28) of gap (24). The notches (42) are interpreted to determine the width (28) of the gap (24).

Abstract: Production and post-production processes and equipment are modified to create a "film look", minimizing the need to introduce noise and artifacts into the video signal wherein the camera, lighting and post production processes are keyed to a film-generated benchmark to provide parameters which are followed during videotaping and post-production to generate "film look" images. The lighting of the sets to be videotaped are adjusted to be comparable to the lighting used for film and a benchmark film test is shot utilizing a video camera and a film camera. The producer of the film look video can review and adjust visual aspects of the film image to determine the "look" desired. Certain parameters from the benchmark are then utilized for camera settings and post production processes as well as lighting to generate the desired look.
