I appreciate both choices and the work involved, of course! (y’all rock.)
My gut says the 2 shot version because although I appreciate the third “extra” shot to help transition lave to forest idea … it feels like it’s overly using establishing shots. It feels like too many little pieces. I feel like less is more would fit better, personally.
Shout out to all you hard workers! Dang it’s impressive what’s getting done.
