Ginge, could you see the painted troops clearly in the Senator screening?

You could see them if you looked right at them, and they did look pretty bad, but not on the level we see in V1. You're right about the the matte not being as bright and obvious, it wasn't as bright. It wasn't as terribly distracting as it is now though, especially on a giant screen where your main focus is on the center of the screen.

This is one of the few alterations I actually agreed with, I though the SE shot made the scene more natural. It's a shame a new matte can't be created from that.
