The matting was the studios idea, from what I could gather about the creators interview here. It is a little disappointing that these fellows were not more involved with the making of the dvd of their film, but when they step away, what can you do? Maybe a 'special edition' version in the future that was alluded to will correct these issues, but until then...its still a fun romp!
