A side-on shot at step level outside a red-brick building with a glass front: a woman in a grey top crouches and picks up a yellow disc, stands and swings her arm in a throwing motion, and a man in an orange tee walks toward her and stops with his arms out.

Task: Stage a side-on shot at step level in which a woman picks up a yellow disc, throws it with a spinning move and a man walks up and stops facing her as one continuous live-action take of 23 s.

Outcome: succeeded

0.96 s: Side-on at a flight of steps outside a red-brick building with a glass front: a woman in a grey top crouches at a railing in the distance.
2.88 s: She stands and walks toward the right along the walkway, a white railing in the foreground.
4.80 s: She crouches near the ground.
6.72 s: She stands holding a yellow disc against her side, a white railing at the left.
8.64 s: She stands, the disc at her waist, facing the right.
10.56 s: She steps forward and swings her arm in a throwing motion.
12.48 s: She holds her pose; a small figure in the background.
14.40 s: She stands with the disc at her side; a person sits on the steps at the right.
16.32 s: She stands at the right foreground; a man in an orange tee walks in from the far left.
18.24 s: The man walks toward the camera along the walkway; she is out of frame.
20.16 s: He stands with his arms slightly out from his sides, facing the camera.
22.08 s: He stands facing the camera, arms out, in the middle of the walkway.

Intent vs result: The sampled frames follow the plan: a pickup, a throw-like arm swing at about 10.6 s and a man who walks up and stops. The disc is not seen in the air at a sampled time. 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 long take with a pickup, a throw and an arrival stays readable because each beat has its own stretch of time.
