This sequence captures Lyra's feelings for Roger very well, it's so sad. The quiet, tragic overtones of his death overshadow everything else and lingers until the last moment.
There was a lot of feeling put into this sequence, a mere storyboard though it may be. The voice acting is earnest and never overplayed, the important scenes are given time to breathe, the music is masterfully chosen. And it leaves just enough to your imagination that you can fill in any gaps just by thinking about it. Beautiful.
I'm so grateful for Anand Tucker's team for putting it together (thanks to Phit for bringing that to my attention), and ChinaCat5 for posting it on YouTube.
