Unfortunately it can't look pretty good, it has to look perfect. particularly given the size. What really slows the whole thing down is that the images that are animating over the video are 3MB each+. Like I said all of the images will be projected on a screen 100x100 feet so quality, believe it or not, is essential at that size. And to get the video to run at it's smoothest you need to run direct to stage, so then having the images over it becomes an issue. We can't have lags.
