Warm floodlit rain: the same beat list as its sibling run in a painterly look, with an orange stadium glow, a strike, a keeper's dive and a kneeling celebration.

Task: Re-tell a youth football match played in heavy rain at night in a cinematic painterly-cel fantasy illustration, at 20 s.

Outcome: succeeded

0.84 s: A number-10 boy from behind between two umbrellas, warm light. 2.51 s: The ball in a puddle ring. 4.18 s: A boot and the ball in a splash. 5.85 s: A maroon rival slides at the ball. 7.52 s: The boy strikes through a spray. 9.20 s: The ball large in the frame. 10.87 s: A second strike pose. 12.54 s: The goalkeeper dives across the net against a floodlit stand. 14.21 s: The keeper dives, the ball in flight. 15.88 s: A goalpost. 17.56 s: The boy kneels, arms raised, in a burst of light. 19.23 s: Same, with a spray burst. Intent vs result: The sampled frames match the sibling run beat for beat; warm orange light replaces the cold blue of the 2D-3D version. 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.

Evidence claims

  • [sourced_fact] Timestamped observations above come from viewing 12 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] A different look can leave the beat list intact; colour temperature changes the mood.
