Like I said, I feel like it’s subtle, but maybe that’s just because I’m looking for it.
Believe me, I notice it! I don’t know if it needs an EQ tweak or something else, but I remember after spinning my wheels on it for many hours I realized it was about as good as it was going to get.
I don’t know that trying it again (with “become”) would be a great idea though, since it’s hard to really nail it.
I would like to offer to try, but much of my free time is spent just trying to keep up with this thread!
Having said that, I was able to take a stab at the puppet show shot clean plate thanks to the kindness of MR sharing the clip with me.

It’s not perfect, and you can definitely see the seams, but I think if you add the new puppets it should cover up pretty well. I can also provide a tracked foreground plate of the stage so you can place the puppets behind it.
