Pterodactyl Power Dive &c.

I agree with Danimal on this one. The speed trail or using a motion blur for fast moving objects is to let the eye have an idea where parts of that object were during that in-between jump from one frame to the next. Here the camera is following the high-speed object, so the clouds are actually the high speed element that the eye doesn't register. It's not necessary, but if anything the clouds might have that effect as we whiz past.Danimal wrote:The Pterodactyl has a neat speed trail kind of effect, but he's moving much too slowly to believe he'd generate such a trail.
