A scene showing what one wants to have explained really helps a lot, don't
you think so?  Especially if one does not really explain what one is talking
about ... and if you take a look at the scene later provided you will notice
that "looks_like moves", well, nothing!  The whole light source is moved
along with everything inside.

No, not at all.
