hey Patrik! It's nice how the light discovers little by little the foreground scene, and the fluorescent's light up has a good timing!
However it is always strange in ML movies to see the sun "light up" maybe there is an eclipse!

Great job!
The first image is beautiful. Great timing too.
How many frames does it have?
Which program do you use to put the frames together and make the movie?

I've used ML and rendered out stills, then I've set the stills together in Adobe Premiere using cross dissolve to make the images fade into eachother... pretty easy actually..
To get the fluorescent lamps to be turned on I simply display the image only 1/39 sec with some time in between, see printscreen:

Yes it is only possible manually now but it would be great if one day this could be done post-render (might no be do-able tho..).
I guess ML animations could also be done by exporting one image per emitter, putting all the image on to of each other in additive mode in your video editor, and then just keyframe layers' opacity.
