Nothing was removed in that moment before the ice wall is hit. If it feels abrupt it was like that originally.

I just tried tossing in a few different shots of closeups of the lever being pulled but I can’t get the music right. That particular moment and the moment before both need to have their music and sound effects pretty much left alone. Which makes it very difficult to cram something in between. I will try again later when I have a little more time, but I wouldn’t count on it.
