An explosion ~ EVA-01 does a rotating jump and flies into the foreground.
Reichu: Yet another shot that will get recycled in the show a couple of times. Sho looks especially cool in that face close-up, don't she? That look has “I'm going to kill you” written all over it.
MDWigs: This is another great sequence. The shot is stationary, the “camera” doesn't move, and we have an explosion with EVA-01 coming flying out of it. As she gets closer, she gets bigger and bigger until we are focused right in on her eye. Why focus on on the eye and not something else? I think here it's one of those things that just looks cool. ^_^
Reichu: The eye looks terribly odd, though. The super close-up seems to be suggesting an iris and pupil, but, as you can see in C-073, her eyes aren't yellow, they're green. I'll rant more about the depictions of the Evas' “eyes” in episode #01.
If you're wondering where C-063 went, this cut is actually a combination of the storyboarded 063 and 064. 063 had the hemispherical explosion and 064 had EVA-01 jumping towards us. Work well together, don't they?
