thanks for all the nice encouraging comments. I really appreciate them. I sifted a film by the director of The Evil Inside (the reason why I wanted to work with him) called KILLING MICHAEL BAY. It was a far different film stylistically and themeatically but I thought it was very funny and ambitious.

In case you'all were wondering, my contributions to this film were editing, color correction, audio design and graphics. I am ®™

ahh, makes sense... though I'm sure I've seen some (normal incandescent) lights that have phosphor in it. It was probably one of those "natural sunlight" color-corrected bulbs, where they use the phosphor to mix with the primary light to get a second color spectrum out of the bulb. Or something like that.

I forgot about the "plasma==conductive" thing... which explains why you get a continuous spark after you exceed the breakdown voltage. (see: a jacob's ladder)

I need to go find a microwave I don't care about and put stuff in it...
