Wow, I didn't expect to like the second video more, since from the picture it looked like it would be too washed out, but in the end it seems to retain more background detail and just looks much more natural than the first one (which ironically has too much contrast).  With a little work, the second reel could have a lot to offer.

Also, from watching the first video, I don't know why but I've never noticed so clearly the difference between Shaw's scalp prosthetic and his forehead before (doubtless it would be obvious on the Blu-ray, if they restrained from digitally wiping that away, too, but I don't ever watch that).

I'm looking forward to seeing full workprints or final results from -1, regardless of order; if Jedi is ready before the others that need more work, it wouldn't bother me in the least to have it early.  Keep up the good work.
