This is a draft of a portal effect for

's film, "Friends Anyway" :iconfriendsanyway:. I had a similar angle as in "Rosa Polaris"
[link] and I tried to make petals move in both directions (I think things went OK in that regard). Any and all feedback is appreciated.
I am aware of the graininess and the low resolution; I just wanted to make a preview. And I might very well change the angle too, based on what I saw in the storyboards. The final draft for this effect will not be grainy and will be higher resolution.
Again, any and all critique is appreciated.
