Paul: >Turns out they sit in front of a camera by Ikegami Electronics that slightly blurs the complexion while keeping everything else in the picture razor-sharp. Sort of like putting the burlap bag over the subject's face instead of the camera's lens. Has anyone heard of this camera? I guess we'll all be seeing it's 'fountain of youth' effect on the airwaves.< This is from a camera? That sounds more like a postproduction trick to me (sorta like how Costner is allegedly having hair digitally added to his image on WATERWORLD so he'll look less bald…<g>) Do you know how it works? >Now if they could just invent an audio filter that takes the ruts out of one's personality :-)< Oh, jeez, Paul–do you REALLY want everyone to end up sounding the same? Don't we get enough of that now? 😉 Best, Tim
