Best & Worst Effects
The best effect would be in [i]I Worship His Shadow[/i] where Kai fires his brace at His Divine Shadow. There’s an effect that looks almost like eyes, then the body falls over. The skull cap falls off, and we see the Insect essence coiled up inside. It looks really eerie. Then it unravels and flies over to Kai. If you look closely at the sequence where the essence is swirling around Kai, you can see translucent jointed insect legs trying to strangle him. A remarkable effect.
The worst effect would be in [i]Battle[/i], the, er, battle. In several shots the lighting on the balloons is perceptively different from the lighting on the characters. Sometimes the matte lines were even visible!
