Alright, let's see if I can respond individually here:

@Johnny Ringo:

Very good mockup on erasing Dan from Rorschach's death! It's far superior than anything I've been able to come up with thus far. A few notes on it, in the interest of improving what's already pretty damn good:

- The glow isn't quite right ... it's a bit too bright, and feels like a Photoshop Gaussian blur (which is what I assume it is, since that's what I've been trying as well) - if you notice on the original image, the glow isn't that much brighter at its "core" (that is, closer to Dr. M) than it is farther away. It's pretty much a uniform darkish blue that slowly dissolves away.
- The snow where Dan used to be looks a bit too much like a Photoshop brush - I'd suggest possibly using the same snow from the right side of the frame? Not sure, though.
- Can't really comment on the "snowflakes," since my monitor's very dusty as it is, but they look pretty good to me.

And I know what you're saying about trying other ideas, but the two shots where they're both in the frame are 100% necessary shots - in this one, it's where Rorschach takes his mask off, and the other one, it's where Rorschach explodes. I don't see how the scene can work without those two shots.

If you'd be willing to try this with actual motion, that would be greatly appreciated - I'll take any help I can get with these scenes. And you would, of course, be appropriately credited in the final product. :-)

Now, about the "red shift" idea - I'll either go all-red, or none at all. I don't think the red at point-of-impact would work very well, but I may do an experimental attempt at it.

I'm not a big fan of the end-credit-quote-pictures idea. It may work for a trailer, though.

If you have a good-quality copy of the old DC logo, I'll definitely use it. The new one just feels too modern. I don't mind the WB and Paramount logos, though (and there's obviously nothing I can do about the "Legendary" one, since the company was founded in 2005).
