A blue-grey brick corridor with a bright slit: a white-spiky-haired figure in black armour with red lines, a close face with red eyes and a red line across a cheek, the corridor again with dark silhouettes in the walls and red-eyed angular shapes.

Task: Render a blue-grey brick corridor with a bright slit, a white-spiky-haired figure in black armour with red lines and a red-eyed face with a red cheek line as a severe-faced, designed-never-photographed look, at 20 s.

Outcome: succeeded

0.84 s: A blue-grey brick corridor with a bright slit. 2.51 s: Same. 4.18 s: A white-spiky-haired figure in black armour with red lines. 5.85 s: Same. 7.52 s: Same, wider. 9.20 s: Close: red eyes with a red line across a cheek. 10.87 s: Same. 12.54 s: Same. 14.21 s: The corridor with dark silhouettes in the walls. 15.88 s: Same. 17.56 s: Red-eyed angular shapes in the brick walls. 19.23 s: The slit with a tiny figure. Intent vs result: The sampled frames follow the same beats as the sibling corridor run; the walls fill with silhouettes and red eyes in the last third. The opening wide holds for two samples. 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] Silhouettes hidden in the walls turn the closing wide into a reveal.
