From 2:03 on, what exactly are these 'sparks' flying around?
How can they change direction so randomly?
I've been waiting for this for a loooooong time!!! Great video!!!
Woop! im watching again! And adding my own sound affects
That was awesome, can't wait for more
Probably to aid in the disengaging of them and separating them from the craft.
Yes, but that doesn't explain how they change direction. (e.g at 2:13)
