What is a Screen Capper?

I was asked that when a friend asked me about it. “What’s a Capper” She asked. I gave her the benefit of the doubt, since she was older then me. Remember kiddies respect your elders. I just said “I’m a person that takes screenshots of movies, videos, and tv shows.” This got me to thinking about the subject, and how long I have been doing this.

Anyway. I don’t mind being called a Capper, it’s something I mainly do as a hobby. I started taking stills from horror movies and turning them into wallpapers on my computer. I loved it. It was something I could do, and it was a form of art. I really got into taking stills few years ago. I joined up with a few groups and boards. They were always asking if anyone had any caps from movies, and tv shows. I had a few movies and stuff I could do up and I did. I even had some sent to me to take stills of and sent back to the owners. I found out there are alot of old movies and shows that actors/actresses were in. Some of which the fans don’t own or never have seen. Plus it was nice to help out other fans. I don’t know if celebrities get pissed at people like me taking stills. I don’t get paid for what I do. If a friend asks about a certain video, movie, and says what they want. I try to get the shot for them to use on their page. I mean in the end we are all fans of something.

The sad thing is over the past many years fansites and fans boards are slowly disappearing. The old film stills are getting more of a pain to find. On the stuff I screenshot I always try to take a few caps and post them for anyone to find on Facebook or Pinterest. The stuff I cap mainly is because I’m a fan of so many. I like to share some of the stuff I have captured. Most of the old photo’s I have done up have disappeared with the sites they were on. I been finding some of the ones I saved and sharing them from my old files for anyone who wants to check them out. Again I’m just a fan, who does this free of charge, and I like the challenge as well.
