Yeah, I'll say that I actually like the visual effects for the Echo, although now that I'm recording a bunch of footage I do wish that it was maybe something that was only there for the intro/outro and then faded for the bulk of the scene, it can be kind of annoying when the color temperatures of the shots I'm going between change that wildly. I still like the effect, it especially seems to get across that this is pretty imprecise and maybe not reliable; it feels kinda like tuning into a TV station that you aren't getting great reception on.

And hell, Echo flashbacks being in sepia are a long way down from the main complaints I have when recording cutscenes. I'd kill for the ability to set weather and time of day, especially because I'm pretty sure the tech is in there for it; the game knows how to set the weather to everlasting light or the burning skies when you look at cutscenes during those parts of the story, they don't have to use the current time and weather. But implementing that would probably be a gift for exactly twelve people, and is pretty far beside the point.
