i think everything is still black here, except pivot and level name (fading in)
next animation i think: "mission 1" fades in, then "red after image" fades in -still on black bg, may be just palette
then outside of building + sky fades in while scrolling up

FFF7 x3
FEF8 x4
FDF9 x4
FCFA x4
FBFB x4
FAFC x4 - now 62F0 lineram changes from FFF7 to FEF8 and follows the same animation (to fade in the bottom text later)
F9FD x4
F8FE x4
F7FF (hold) - lower half of screen is still at like FBFB FAFC etc. until it hits F7FF and we move to the next stage of the anim

NOW building should fade in i think

another prio change, finally playfields in correct order
