fast-cut-acceleration

Fast cutting · technique 09 — ACCELERATION. 11 shots, taken whole. One of the nine fast-cut disciplines, split out of the full reel beside it (fast-cutting.promo) so it can be studied and lifted on its own: a title card, the technique played straight, and a hold to land on.

Read the rig's notes

Shot lengths 18 → 14 → 11 → 9 → 7 → 6 → 5 → 4 → 3 frames, gaps shrinking with them
(0.20 → 0.10, then hard cuts). Flow entrances survive to 9 frames; below that
there is no time to travel and only centre framing is left — which is the point.
key-tick fires on every hard cut so the audio accelerates with the picture,
and the climax lands on a 2.2 s hold with the impact.

Rig: 1280×720 · 30 fps · gap-clock=run · every scene carries the three matched haze
lobes hz0/hz1/hz2 over the dark gradient, the studio HDR, and the closeup light
trio. Devices are iphone/laptop/ipad/chrome with ui3d(overlay=screen) stages;
same-kind neighbours share match=ph/mac/pad/web so the rig morphs across the gap.
Title cards are 0.7 s rhythm resets (hard cut in, hard cut out). The technique
label and the per-shot duration chip are layer text sized to the fixed camera,
so they only ride the fixed-camera shots — a framed closeup would fly past them.
Every cut wears a cue: whoosh on whips, shutter on hard cuts, impact on crash-ins,
a riser ending on the final impact. Shader ids and file names: assets/sfx/what-to-use.md.

Wall clock: 11 scenes, 5.46s + 0.59s of gaps = 6.05s. 28 audio tracks.
