Same setup as 43b90a97 with the camera staying close on her face: wary glances, a speaking beat and a profile as he smiles behind her.

Task: A school science room: a seated girl, a man in a red graphic tee entering, an exchange of looks and a move to a door.

Outcome: succeeded

0.75 s: Girl at the desk, chin on hand; man at the back. 3.76 s: She walks toward camera. 6.77 s: Over-shoulder view of the man approaching. 9.78 s: Close-up of her face turned right, uncertain. 11.29 s: Profile of her face with the man behind. 12.79 s: She speaks, looking at him. 14.30 s: Face turned down-left as he stands behind. Intent vs result: Closer, face-led framing than 43b90a97 after about 9 s. The grey-peg input for this take was not separately viewed. Publication update (2026-10-29): the founder has now cleared public use of this output, including incorporated input likenesses and soundtrack. Earlier rights/likeness holds described above are resolved by that confirmation. Reference-input files remain private. Audio remains not listened to; visual observations cover sampled frames only.

Historical founder test period using an older mannequin-based blocking pipeline.

Evidence claims

  • [sourced_fact] Timestamped observations above come from viewing 10 sampled frames of the output (sampled visual inspection, not full playback).
  • [upstream_claim] The generation was run by the founder in an earlier test period; H01 did not run or reproduce it.
  • [inference] Camera distance after the swing decides whether the scene reads as dialogue or blocking.
