fast-cut-sound

Fast cutting · technique 04 — SOUND DESIGN. 6 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

Every cut wears a cue (see the audio block): whoosh under every whip, camera
shutter on every hard cut, the low impact on crash-ins, shader ticks on the UI
beats. The four families play as words, each fired at its own cut. The RISER
starts on its word and runs 1.9 s under the next cuts — an overlapped sound is
what bridges rapid visual jumps. A second riser ends exactly on the final 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: 6 scenes, 4.50s + 0.77s of gaps = 5.27s. 12 audio tracks.
