n fact... if you have time on some of the clouds/mists in fg, you can add a subtle level of very bright pixels of light that glow and fade, if there is subtle panning action.

I am trying to think of an example I could drag you to in anime, but I can't. They would do dither patterns of crossing dots on two levels of paper with a back light to make those sparley oceans so nice, but this is a little different.

If you think of a leading edge of some cloud forms you are kind of '

ixie dusting' those places with light violet, green, blue, yellow, pink light specks (prism bits) that cruise along and glow and fade as if the sun (behind camera or above) is reflecting off of drops as the camera moves along. Should be subtle, but noticeable.

I'm going to think of how this can be achieved simply, but using Flash is different from a camera. You might be able to make some kind of '

in hole level' with dots of color like a LITE BRITE, and then some intensity factor moving below that level that lights a moving area in a progression of intensity. The dots are locked on the background cloud, but the light moving below that level moves with the camera pans.... not sure if you can get small spires emitting, or glow around the dots emulating back lighting.

SHIT ALMIGHTY!

I just remembered something that might have layered up your animation better! It's something you can add later, but would have been very nice to the audience at UH:

MOOSH MOOSH

It's a Sam Raimi term for added levels of intense movement and action in the camera, usually close, that give extra perspective and will occupy the viewer's eye without a lot of extra effort. Many film makers miss that level; leaves, or dust blowing through in front of camera, lights, light effects, blocking objects, camera movements that distract the viewer or complicate the scene enough to fool the viewer into thinking they are seeing or feeling more than the budget actually allowed paid for, and so on.

YOU can use some panning water droplets/cloud mist and some light effects. Glossy, bright, transparent orbs of light expanding, rotating on spires of radiating light, etc, etc.

If you add any of these later they will be relatively easy work. Even the light effects won;t be hard to do with FLASH, but might take time to work properly and not look odd.

The thought came from a reflection on your boards in my mind: you used a lot of middle and background images, but foreground was left out unless the character was in foreground, in which case middle ground was left empty. I always thought it best to use all three levels as much as possible in animation, so there are 3 levels with information occupying the viewer's mind and elevating them out of simplicity or static, easily digested information, unless that effect is desired.
