What did you have in mind for the carousing to "go further"?

Yeah, to get a good cloud shape I needed a way to get studs facing all four
directions, so the rows of interconnected headlight pieces was my best solution.

In Photoshop it's something like Filter > Render > Lens Flare, and then mess
with the options until you get something you like. I was using Paint Shop
Pro that specific effect. The veil hiding the rays was just done by making
the veil a new layer on top of the lighting effect.

Strange that in the movie, what's inside the ark seems to be the smashed
dust of the original ten commandment tablets, but it should be the intact
second set of tablets. Or maybe the second set just disintergrated from
bumping around inside the ark on its many journeys over the 3,000 or so
years before it fell into the hand of the Nazis.
