[QuadList] Semi-OT: Can you imagine what it would take to do this on videotape?

[David C. Crosthwait]

Impressive!

I'd like to try that layering on an A62 with an ADO 3000. The tracking  
in 3D Z space is the fun stuff.

I once heard about 16 (?) 2" machines gang-rolled in an edit session  
in NYC. But, it may have been 1" come to think about it.
