A bus interior: seated boys in white shirts, a boy holding a bag before a window of towers, hands on the bag, backs of heads and a view forward.

Task: Tell a youth squad travelling to a match on a bus in an atmospheric cinematic 3D look with an anime surface, at 20 s.

Outcome: succeeded

0.84 s: Wide: a bus interior with seated boys in white shirts.
2.51 s: Same.
4.18 s: A boy holds a bag before a window of towers.
5.85 s: Hands on the bag.
7.52 s: Same.
9.20 s: Same.
10.87 s: Backs of seated boys.
12.54 s: Boys talking in the aisle light.
14.21 s: The boy with the bag, towers in haze.
15.88 s: Same.
17.56 s: The back of a boy's head at the front of the bus.
19.23 s: Same.

Intent vs result: The sampled frames hold a warm haze and a repeated bag-on-lap motif; no ball appears.

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.

One of a matrix of style-band runs on 11-13 August 2026 (UTC).

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 simple repeated prop (the bag) holds attention in a still scene.
