Yeah sorry for the link, I couldn't get the code to work.
As for Sidious, I wouldn't hide his face. As a viewer, one can tell that the villain has a public indentity to protect, and suspicions of who he is are bound to occur. However, by visually separating Sidious from Palpatine, his reveal to Anakin becomes a rather surprising twist. Editing should take place to remove his encouraging of Anakin's attitude "I see you're becoming the greatest of all Jedi", to make it seem like he's one of the good guys, geniuenly concerned about the well being of the Republic.
The goal is (or at least my goal) is to make "Palpatine is the Sith lord!" the "I am your father" of the prequels.
