Of course it was helpful, very much so! I had to pass the technical stuff along to my rather more technically-minded mate; I'm great with editing decisions, but the technical/hardware side of it has always lost me. I've done some more mattes since those I showed you, very pleased with them indeed.

My main problem is I don't have a good enough source of the original material, so any work I do on original shots is limited. I really need to get my hands on a HD source :-( then I can really get to work.

How are you getting on, anyway?
