Close.  Take another look at the image, and you will see that it is a
less than perfect special effect, in which the actor stands in front of
a blue screen, and then his/her image is superimposed over a background.
They always seem to have that imperfect shimmer about them.  But yes,
the idea was to make the LMFAP look smaller.  (though the professional
way to do this, is set up a seperate stage in which the floor pattern is
Bigger).

       hurt this much in a week.
