I'm working on making a bit of a 24 style movie, just for fun, and I'm including a CTU. For UIs and screen shots, etc., I'm just going to use tech looking things like command prompt, random javascript or whatever. If anyone knows of any websites/ideas or whatever I could use to display cool-looking software on the screens I would be very grateful. Contact me at scottybep@hotmail.com Thanks in advance :) I know this is an old post but if anyone sees this, could you help out?

On TV, especially on the shows of the CSI franchise, a few dozen keystrokes (it's never a mouse click) are all you need to zoom into and rez-up the instructions on an aspirin bottle as reflected in the sunglasses of a guy across the street from an ATM with a video camera! As a long-time Photoshop practitioner, I laugh every time. The one time where this was done acceptably well was in the Kevin Costner spy thriller "Nowhere to Run", where a photo processing took about 24 hours, which at the time was about the going rate. The slowness of the process added to the suspense, of course. Then there's the working of the photographic miracle.
