Fantastic work sir. I haven't seen such a visually captivating movie in... ever? Couldn't believe the quality of the HD on digital projection, the keys were perfect, it was like you could see every single hair.

Speaking of detail, it was interesting; some of the leading ladies looked like they'd been softened up a little, but on others you could see individual pores and blemishes as if there was almost too much detail. I wondered if it was a creative decision, or if it was mandated by the talent's management.

I should go back and watch it again, but the printed version this time. Anyway, congratulations!

Jason, you nailed it! Good eye. A little localized diffusion for Carla and Jessica allowed them to look lovely under the harsh contrast.
