A close profile of a young woman beside a wooden door with a hand on a white wall panel, held for about seven seconds, a fast blur pan, then a wide science room with posters and benches in which a man in a red tee and the woman walk toward a far door.

Task: Stage a tight profile of a young woman with a hand on a wall panel beside a door, a fast pan to a wide science room and two people walking away as one continuous live-action take of 12 s.

Outcome: succeeded

0.50 s: Close: a young woman in profile beside a wooden door, a hand on a white wall panel under a small framed picture.
1.51 s: Same; her mouth is closed.
2.51 s: Same; her eyes are closed, lips parted.
3.51 s: Same; eyes open, looking at the panel.
4.52 s: Same; she looks to the right.
5.52 s: Same; eyes closed, lips parted.
6.52 s: Same; eyes open and forward.
7.53 s: A fast blur pans across her face at the right and a bench.
8.53 s: Wide science room with posters and benches; a man in a red tee and the woman walk away.
9.53 s: They walk toward a far door, the woman at the right of him.
10.54 s: They are small near the far door.
11.54 s: Same; almost at the door.

Intent vs result: The sampled frames follow the plan: a held close profile, a fast pan and an opposite-side wide in which both walk away to the far door. Her eyes close and open between samples (a possible blink or speech). The linked inputs are recorded by count only; their disclosure and rights basis are unconfirmed, and the prompt asks that they set the faces and wardrobe of the people shown, so likeness is a hold. Spoken lines were requested and not heard.

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 fast blur pan is a clean seam between a held close-up and a wide.
