Every rebuild, environment and grade pass carried out on The Limelight during 2026, collected in one place. Where an original exists it sits alongside the reworked version, marked Before and After. Nothing here is a finished master — these are working passes, kept so the work can be seen rather than described.
Original footage from the 2012 shoot on the left, the rebuilt version on the right. Same frames, same performances — the environment behind them is what changed.
