clockwork

morph="clockwork" — the face opens onto a brass movement (match-morph-clockwork.ts).

Read the rig's notes

The outgoing picture is printed on two hinged doors with thickness; they swing
open toward the lens onto a clockwork of extruded brass gears — real teeth,
spoked wheels, steel pins, pairs sharing an arbor on adjacent layers, a rocking
balance wheel — laid out from the seed so every meshing pair sits tangent on
its pitch circles and turns by tooth ratio. The train pops in and spins up, the
movement rearranges (layers pull apart, leaf gears orbit their drivers still in
mesh, loose mates slide along their arbors), the cabinet travels while the doors
are wide open and their faces swap to the incoming picture, the gears fold away
and the doors swing shut as the incoming element. Exact at both ends.

ONE scene, no cuts — the in-scene `morph-to` links, so every mid frame can be
shot. The hero in the middle:

  1.6 → 3.6   stat card  → iphone        defaults (morph=clockwork)
  4.6 → 6.4   iphone     → music card    morph-count=14 · morph-spread=1.3 · morph-seed=7
  7.4 → 9.2   music card → stat card     morph-color=#d8d2c4 (nickel) · morph-size=1.6 · morph-count=7

Camera never stops: linear orbit (r 760, look_at 0 0 0) swings to the opposite side over
every window via ~0°, 8% closer — −17°→+19° (narrowed: the iphone proxy jumped at
the 3.6 swap), +22°→−31°, −38°→+26°.
