Notes: Act one starts at Lot 666 and act two misses only the Entracte. So, basically full video/99% complete. Audio fed from external source. Great audio/video quality, rivals videos shot years later (grainier than the best, though). Although this was shot in (16:9) standard definition, there is lots of detail due to close zooming, a bright lens and encoding to MP4. You can discern the string keeping the mask in place. Black bar in lower part of the picture, and an evil head of doom on centre/stage right. This means small bits were just impossible to capture, but I tried to shoot around it. Some shakiness results at times. Mix of mediums and close ups. Downgraded because of the obstruction, though probably conservatively graded.
