"you can build a hologram production studio for less than 100 and prints for less than 5 dollars I've been in the holography industry for over ten years now and, a member of the IHMA, and have worked with every kind of holography known to man. You can not build a "production studio" for less than 100 dollars ... nor 1000, nor 10,000. A decent laser alone will cost you many times that amount. Yeah, you can make a hologram with a laser pointer and some cheapo Russian emulsion, but you're going to get what you pay for ... which isn't much. AKA Shoebox Holography. And other people certainly aren't going to pay you for the quality level one would be producing with such equipment. It's fine for fun and experimental stuff, but a far, far cry from a "production studio" and commercial quality. With that said, I'd LOVE to know exactly what you're talking about, and can;t wait for the "secret" to be revealed. Forgive me if I'm extremely skeptical ... I've been in this industry way too long to even begin to believe this is something revolutionary or even real. -Tim
