Need help naming types of cels. Cel terminology mumbo jumbo. Also needs help finding which Tenchi series cels are from too, heh. (Fri Nov 10 01:06:05 2000 )

Hello again.  I just need help with cel 
terminology regarding the different types of cels.

Like, on the tenchi cel scan page on my site:

http://www-
personal.umich.edu/~tdkim/cel/tenchi.html

I have an oversized Mihoshi cel that measures 10" 
x 15.5".  Is it simply called a pan cel or 
panning cel, or I am just way off entirely?

On the cel I labelled Washu #4, I didn't even 
notice it was 2 layers (I know the dealer didn't 
know it was 2 layers.) until just now.  The 
second layer on top doesn't have a cel marking, 
but after careful inspection, I could see that 
the second cel just has shadows and the green 
blob.  The main cel is just black under the green 
stuff.  Now, is the second cel just called an 
overlay, special effects overlay, or something 
else completely different?

Next is a question about backgrounds.  The Washu 
#5 scan, I think has 3 background layers.  Both 
the sky (labeled 33) and school (unlabeled) are 
on cardboard, but the flag pole (blocked by 
Washu) was painted on an unlabeled cel.  Should I 
consider the unlabeled flag pole cel part of the 
background or with the foreground since it's 
technically on a cel?

Lastly but not least. . .I need help identifying 
which episodes, let alone series some of those 
cels are from, heh.  I've never seen Pretty Sammy 
before, so that may be why I can't do a postive 
ID on some of them.  (I knew Washu #4 was from 
episode #3 because of screen shot captures on 
washu.org).

Thanks for any comments or responses you may have.
