Hi, the shot looks nice, but the lightning as you mentioned is not good. I suggest having a start and end point for the lightning electricity always has a start and end point it cannot start out anywhere and end. also have a bit of animation through the lightning path so it looks like it is starting from the beginning. it can be just in 3-5 frames. but it helps the visuals a lot.

Thanks, I decided to use quads to simulate the lightning, i was using ribbons but it is just to complicated
