Ray's proton pack is different in the gozer scene. Watch the approach when you see their proton packs in
slow motion.
All the cyclotron lights are moving counter clockwise except for Ray's. His move clockwise.
Then when they say heat em up and the vent light turns on, in the closeup, the gun is changed to one with an orange light cap to the right of the vent light. Notice: In all other scenes this cap is white. This is the gun seen in the featurette.This is also the only gun that has the scrolling bargraph effects.
On Make em hard everyone has thier thumbs on the green lever, the camera pans right to show the effect of the acrylic tube extending and the thumbs are no longer seen. Only's Ray's barrel turns 45 degrees counter clockwise for the effect. I am not arguing the fact it was done with the green lever but just observing some interesting construction
EDIT: The proton packs are so hard to keep track of in this scene. on the rooftop looking down at stay puft you see the cyclo go in this pattern - Winston CCW - Ray CW- Venkman CCW- Spengler CW
one edit Spengler will have the pack with the foam padding on the motherboard in another he doesn't this is not counting the foam packs in the little alcove on the roof with the static cyclo. Oy! Im working on the lighting of my pack and I guess its a little bit of "whatever"
