So far the best fade-in effect for the clouds. I still feel not entirely happy about it, although I managed to include animation without side-effects in crossing. It's nice and smooth. ------------------------ Half-bad news now is that I have to pass tests to get my job for sure, at least for few years, theoretical and practical, Theory is about 1500+ pages of rules and such stuff so I'm not going to have much time in next month or two... something like before university graduation tests.

The big particles are apparently too big and the color might be better more towards the white, but particles seem to move and act well... maybe slow them down a little?

Agreed on both points (size and color). They also have a waviness to them that looks odd. I recommend making them just fly straight up.
Speed wise: The original seemed to have an effect with them too where they start off slow and have greatly sped up by near the end. Almost like a vacuum effect as they get near the clouds.

Great idea and keen eye as always. You're right. Surprisingly this time the emitter cooperated with me.

Definitely looks better. Still needs some tweaks though. That light pillar is far too wide and goes thru the ground. The particles have no glow and some of them should vanish before reaching the top. The particles also seem to start before the light pillar even opens in the original, and then just become visible due to the light pillar itself. As if some kind of masking was used. It makes the effect much more dramatic. The particle height also seems to start off smaller so they look more round in the original and then seems to increase. Which makes it look like they are being dragged up into the clouds. Also, this vid jumps around. It makes it harder to analyze stuff. Not a bad effort at all but definitely needs more tweaks. I'd recommend analyzing the original vid a bit more. Good to see some progress on it though. Of course, you don't have to duplicate the original exactly. As long as the new one looks better than the original. But right now although it is definitely more high res than the original, it still looks too minecraft ish. Which since the new versions are high res, makes this task harder in itself. Since flaws that wouldn't be noticed in the original WILL be noticeable here sadly.

Blender is not Fotoshop, when it comes to effects. That's for sure. Anyway I managed to get some time to work a little on the particle emitter, made the particles balls and added post processing tasks for blur to give them glow aura. Will see if I can make it better yet. No time to make test renders now and not really much to render, but now it might be visible that there is probably little too much of particles...

I am a beacon of knowledge blazing out across a black sea of ignorance.As single one from the class I've passed the trials on the first attempt. (but somehow, as I tend I got nervous like hell) The test lasted for 7 hours, I'm drunk now and do not really intend to sober out tomorrow, but then I can return to work on the videos. So... yeah, good news.

New shape of light column, the optics make it look little weirdo, but it is still straight up when not watching it in perspective mode. Attachments:

Congrats on passing your test (I think.... not sure considering your drunk post is slightly incoherent).

Did some tweaks with the particles and scaled up. Maybe I should scale them up even more? Speed looks good now.

Are these designed to replace the previous beam shaped ones? Or go with them?

I think that single kind of particles is better, so I intend to have only ball shaped, but if you wish, I can combine them with beam shaped. That's of no problem.

Nah. These don't look right at all compared to the beams. The idea is to upgrade the original. If a few of these (less than you have now) were thrown in ALONG with the beams it might work. But I'd need to see it. Again, I recommend what I've said several times: post this on a forum that specializes in video production/effects with a link comparing it to the original and GET FEEDBACK. I gave a bit of details in my previous post, but that's the best I can offer. It's been about a year now, and it's very clear you are struggling with this by the results and feedback I seem to be giving that overall just states something that clearly doesn't look right. Not to mention the system issues you seem to have or when you tell me you are having trouble doing with doing fairly simple effects. I honestly figured by now with the initial skill you showed me that these would have been done. TLDR: please get some assistance with this; ideally from a place with subject matter experts.
