Maybe your viewers can figure out this Easter Egg in Time Machine. I couldn't see the finger.

Yup. Interesting marker there, Jim.

Following is a frame grab of that frame in question.

and here's a frame grab enhanced for a better view of the writing:

and here's an adjacent near frame of what the image is supposed to look like:

Can anyone make out the writing that was intentionally inserted into the f/x shot?

Upper right shows "Back"
Lower right shows "Frame"
Upper Left is hard to decipher.

Most likely it's there as a marker, like the cig burn, to designate timing for f/x.

I attempted to find a comment area on that blog you included, but couldn't find one for that post. Feel free to forward the links to the pics and/or my take on it to that blog if you so desire.
