The thumbnail images of every shot are displayed on a monitor for everyone on site to consider. Corrections and re-takes happen immediately.

Once Magellan’s signs off on the shots, Balint and his team hit the computers—a network of Apple G3 workstations—to pull the images and the layout together.

Once masked, the model is dropped into Adobe Photoshop.
