It's just a shame I didn't get a chance to perfect the lighting before the
submission deadline - the version submitted had very blotchy radiosity
artifacts. I later rendered a faster, cleaner version using a large area_light
hidden in the ghost, which looked neater, but somehow slightly less real... I
should revisit it to polish it some more really.
