Context: "The idea of using the larger format and being able to reduce and composite without generation loss so that we don't have a drop in quality when we go to an optical was the basic reason for building the printer. The techniques of stop-motion also achieved a good state here. There's really some great stuff in EMPIRE, but the stop-motion in this picture has gone beyond that because now we have DRAGONSLAYER under our collective belt, and it is some of the best that's been done."
