I have had some success with tweaking shots with a single main colour in FCE but tend to go all deer in the headlights if there's more than one. Must face fears. But I'm also thinking this isn't just a problem with the colour as such, the clips that weren't right were a run of dark spacey shots and also there was too many of them, the rythmn was wrong. The bulk of the song is quite pacey/dancey but it starts with a more tentative, tinkly piano bit and I needed to re-adjust to that and go gentler on the explosions. I have an almost working version of the beginning now (but am begining to have doubts about the end).

Nifty. Exactly, all those ideas about when the audience blinks had the kind of simplicty that feels true. And you get this wonderful impression of him standing up, conducting proceedings like Tom Cruise in Minority Reportbut searching for the emotion instead of the killer.
