abstract-intros

ABSTRACT · INTROS — five ways to open on the reel's phone. Each one is a single 5.5–6.5 s claim in the abstract reel's grammar: a near-black stage, one amber accent, one cool accent, three matched haze lobes, a real device at true size, and a wordmark that arrives LAST. They are the five things a film can do in its first six seconds when it has nothing on screen yet:

# scene dur transition device the claim
01 i01-ignition 6.0 match-move iphone light comes up on a thing that was already there
02 i02-threshold 6.5 match-move iphone a corridor of rings, crossed on a ramp, and a room at the end
03 i03-blade 5.5 match-move iphone one anamorphic blade sweeps a dark field and finds the phone
04 i04-grid 6.0 match-move iphone 77 cubes, one radial wave, and the phone rises through its slot
05 i05-eclipse 5.5 — iphone a disc slides off a light and the device is a silhouette against it

29.5 s of scene + four gaps (3.2 s) ≈ 32.7 s on the wall. Every scene also
stands alone: cut one out, set transition=none, and it is a five-second
opener with its own floor, rig and post.

WHAT AN INTRO IS HERE. Nothing is on screen at frame 0 that the shot did not
put there in front of the viewer. i01 and i05 make the picture from
ILLUMINATION (a key that ramps, an occluder that slides); i02 and i04 make it
from a MOVE (a corridor crossed, a wave passed); i03 from the flare's
second job (light="true"), so the field appears only where the blade has
been. The wordmark is never first — it lands at 55–70 % of the shot, after
the device, and stays up through the cut.

THE DEVICE IS THE MATCH. All five phones carry match=hero, and the three haze
lobes carry hz0/hz1/hz2, so the reel's match-move gap flies the same phone
from opener to opener and the room stays continuous under the cuts. The
phone stands at floor + 79.75 wherever there is a floor (a device node is
its centre, not its base).

LOOK — carried unchanged from the abstract reel:

backgrounds #04050a · #04040a · #05060a · #101116 · #030308

THE RAMPS (i02, i04) are authored by sampling one smooth progress curve
unevenly — every row carries easing=linear on purpose, so nothing re-eases
between the samples and flattens the ramp back into a glide.
i02 threshold 0 · 0.05 · 0.28 · 0.72 · 0.94 · 1 slow up to the rings, fast through, slow after
i04 grid 0 · 0.04 · 0.40 · 0.88 · 1 a long hang over the field, then the drop

THE CLIP WIPES (i01, i04) reveal the phone bottom-up with axis="-y"
feather=8 edge=#ffb347. axis=-y KEEPS what is below the plane, so a plane
rising from −100 to 100 uncovers the body from its feet; axis=y would run
the same rows as a wipe-OUT. The offset is a coordinate in the phone's own
frame, so ±100 covers the 159.5 mm body with margin on both ends.

POST. bloom → film_grain → fxaa on every shot; prismatic_dispersion ONLY on
the two shots that carry chroma-split as a look (i02, i03), at spread 0.01.
shot bloom thresh spread grain / vignette
01 ignition 0.70 0.80 — 0.012 / 0.32
02 threshold 1.00 0.72 0.01 0.014 / 0.36

04 grid 0.50 0.84 — 0.012 / 0.30
05 eclipse 0.42 0.90 — 0.012 / 0.34

THE WORDMARK is a placeholder. "AXIOM" and its strap are the reel's own
lockup; an assembly replaces the four text nodes per scene (mark, strap and
the two on the phone screen) and nothing else has to move.

NO AUDIO. Primitives reel; add at assembly time.
