Before we beat this dead horse anymore, I will change the subject back to the DEED:

I just looked at the new shake, and it looks great! You did exactly what I was talking about, smearing certain frames and moving them off-kilter just like in the original version. Good job!

Still, I will give a little constructive criticism. Not every frame in the shake was blurry. Look at my screengrabs from the Puggo Grande - there are some frames in the shake which don't look to be blurry, smeared or anything. The ones that look to be unsmeared to me are frame 3, frame 6, frame 9, frame 12 (and maybe 11?), frame 15, frames 18-19?; it looks like there's no more optically smeared frames after frame 21.

Frame 7 should be much more smeared than it is now - in fact, I think it's the most smeared frame in the whole shot.

Also, is there any way that the smear frames could be actually smeared, rather than just doubled at partial opacity? Couldn't it be done in Photoshop?

Anyway, take a look at those Puggo Grande frames I posted, and flick through them in order - it's good to have a reference that's not DVNR'ed.
