Re: [FCP-L] Happy Halloween!

Had it been an SNL piece it would have been about a minute and no humor would have been lost. It certainly was a tremendous technical and craft achievement. Seems overkill in length to me (pun intended) or should I say "Over and Over kill" Even as a show piece it could have easily been half the length. Wonder whose credit card footed the bill?
