Lorne, 

Thanks for asking for clarification on the use of "holographic".  I also produced holograms a number of years back. Its a big HOT BUTTON with me as well. The term gets bantered about for anything 3D, when in fact there is a vast difference between what a true hologram offers versus any of the other 3D technologies.

Kristy, but it would be really exciting if you could tell us this is true holography you are using.

> Hey Kristy, that sounds fabulous!  But what exactly do you mean by "holographic"?  I'm pretty sure you're not really using holograms, and the misuse of that word is one of my hot-buttons (I do a lot of 3D work and have a friend who has done true holographic art) but I am genuinely curious - projection on see-through front scrim?  3D?  Combination?
