Now that has some potential to it. It could be very interesting to see where you might take that.
What did you use for the "splash"/ "smoke" after the two small ones impact?

Very slick. You have your FRAPS frame rate in there for a few frames, but otherwise very well done!

4 stacked Smoke pellet effects tied to NPC Puddles in the same space as the cauldron.

yeah, I saw that. If I were actually making a "video" video out of it, I would be concerned. This was a basically a way to test myself to see if I understood as much about demo edit as I thought I did. I was more concerned with "Can I do what I think I can do". here's the result.
same video as before with 3 modifications:
1) Moved the camera/view
2) added a smoke FX to Eochai rising.
3) Added a Pan up
Thoughts?
Some edits to the demo edit
The pan up gives it a nice menacing feel. Keep it up! 
hehehe good to know. Don't worry, I've got a few ideas of advancements in demo editing skill to undertake.
Oh yeah, looking good! You'll find that if you pan the camera slightly to the right, the character will have more impact and power. In photography and cinematography, it is called the Golden Rule or the Rule of Thirds. Click here for info
And no, that's not a Rikti Roll link - LOL!
Great job! The pan and camera angle on the second does give it a more menacing feel. Now try taking both videos together and as they jump off the roof and and are almost crashing together, switch to the second vid to cut them together for another nice effect.
Keep up the good work and keep adding to it. I, too, would like to see where it goes from here.

Wow, the rule of thirds works a lot differently for Photography then it does for video. Thanks for the link, information is always welcome.

no, that's in my signature 
Yeah, cinema composition has some different aspects from still photography because it is a dynamic medium. In photography, the eye can be led along a path to discover things. Since cinema is constantly moving, you have to use different ways to get those sames results. But the flip side is that there is so much more potential to evoke emotions and deliver subtext (the real message) within the text (the actual sights and sounds).
Hey kids, so I put brain to paper and tried some actual video-intended demo editing (All the demo edit I've done in the past as been for the purpose of screen shots). So what do ya think:
