Really fun, extremely enjoyable.

The moving shots IMO really made it look great. Especially when she says "Next!" that little movement really adds to the feel for me.

A couple things:

I have a hard time believing that Gregory had a sign that had "Gregory" WordArt. I think it could have been just as effective, maybe even moreso, to just have the picture and him talking about it. The audience would have been able to figure it out IMO.

It was kind of obvious that it was a wig.

I understand that you probably had no say in this stuff...

Otherwise, really great looking DVX footage. The audio also worked really great with the music in the beginning IMO. Do you know what mics were used?
 
Thanks for the comments. Yeh, most of that stuff was out of my control. The one thing that I really wish I could have done something about was the exposed lights around the mirrors. That just absolutely blow out. If I had more time I would have replaced them with much lower wattage bulbs. The mic was a Sennheiser, but I don't know what model. They really had to fight with lots of air conditioner noise when cleaning it up in post.
