More on the Pixar thing...

[P3D Harold R. Baize, Ph.D. <baize@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I want to emphasize that all was not bad about the Pixar
3-D shoot. Most guests were very pleased with their slides. 
It would be unfair to criticize Annie Lore.
She did a great job. It's just that corporations do
expect perfection, even on short notice. It was a minor
logistical error that ballooned into a lot of confusion. 
If, for example, we had displayed the slides on light tables
and let the guests pick out their own image, they might have
found it to be more fun- seeing other peoples photos as well.

Also, John Fairstein asked...

I was doing the mounting, but I was told that the film was difficult
to load in the Realist. This is because it is thinner than standard
slide film. It also was more difficult to cut in the Realist cutter
for that reason. The film has an odd silvery metallic sheen on one
side. The reds were vibrant but the over all color balance was not
to my liking. I couldn't tell about the grain or saturation. I would
offer this opinion. It is an adequate slide film if you MUST have
instant results, but it is certainly no substitute for Kodachrome!
