I liked it, the only thing I found a bit odd was the fire springing up on the floor. Maybe just a smoke there would be good. Or you could set the fire somewhere else, like in the trees or in the ship.
In the second sequence? Or the first with the stairs background?
In the sequence showing the stairs as background and in the sequence showing the square. The two have a fire on the floor.
Got’cha. Agreed. I’ll look to improve or replace the effect.
