Light Blade

One continuous take: a horizontal blade of cyan light rises up a black wall like a scanner and the wall turns out to be the landing page, lit section by section in its wake; then the lens turns into the dark twice to find the phone surfacing through the mirror floor and the laptop gliding out of the fog.

A vast dark hall with a glossy mirror floor running into fog, where a tall slab stands upright and a blade of light ignites along its foot, pooling on the floor with haze, drifting dust and an anamorphic flare. One continuous 24 s take at 120 bpm: an ignite low over the floor, a rise, turns left and right into the void landing on hits, then a crane up and back.

    GEN-BLADE — "Light Blade". Tally: "Save on purpose." 24 s, 16:9, one continuous take, no VO.

    LOGLINE. A blade of ice-cyan light lies at the foot of a black wall. It ignites, then rises up the
    wall like a scanner and the wall turns out to be Tally's landing page, lit section by section as the
    light passes. The lens then turns away into the dark, where the phone surfaces through the mirror
    floor and a goal gets typed into it, and the laptop slides out of the fog to show the same goal
    landing in the monthly overview. Last: up and back to the whole hall.

    THE WORLD. A black hall with a glossy black mirror floor (reflector-ground) running off into fog.
    At the back stands Tally's landing page as an UPRIGHT wall: a free-standing ui3d (chrome stage
    480 x 300, x5 = 2.4 x 1.5 m), its foot 10 mm above the floor, on a graphite backing slab whose
    edges catch the light. Along the wall's foot lies the BLADE: a thin emissive bar (white-cyan core
    + cyan glow bar), additive ground-light pools on the floor in front of it, low haze, a real area
    light washing up the wall, an anamorphic flare on its hottest point (x 1050) and cyan dust in the
    light. The page is DARK until the blade has passed: an opaque shroud card inside the page whose
    feathered bottom edge is keyed to the blade's height, plus a cyan wash band riding the blade line.
    Out in the black: the iPhone (x4.5) foreground-left facing +x over a cyan pool where it surfaces,
    the laptop (x2) foreground-right facing -x; far out in the void behind the lens a dim echo of the
    blade on the horizon (+ glow), so the swing between the devices always holds a line of light; the
    "Tally" lockup (text3d) floats in front of the wall's top. For the end both devices glide to marks
    in front of the wall's corners, facing the lens, and a matte black patch fades in on the floor
    where the mirror would paint the page's headline upside down.

    PALETTE. black #08090B · graphite #16181C · ink #F1F5F9 · ice cyan #22D3EE -> #67E8F9 (the only
    accent) · one cool-white highlight #E8FDFF (the blade's core).

    COORDINATES. y up, floor y 0, the wall plane z 0, centre x 0. Page stage (sx, sy) -> world
    (-1200 + 5·sx, 1510 - 5·sy, 0): headline y 925–1135, CTAs 607–720, goal cards 126–455, nav
    1353–1462. THE BLADE LINE: bar world y = 20 + d (d = its position track); the shroud's track is
    (10 - y)/5 and the wash's (20 - y)/5 in stage mm, on the SAME keys and easings, so the reveal and
    the bar can never drift apart. Phone (-1900, 359, 1300) yaw 80 -> end mark (-800, 359, 2250)
    yaw 23; laptop (1900, 0, 1300) yaw -80 -> end mark (850, 0, 2200) yaw -25; lockup y 1580–1860 at
    z 260; matte patch x ±620, z 1600–3900 (fades in 18.8–19.6); horizon bar z 7600.

    BEATS (reel clock = scene clock; 120 BPM, beat = 0.5 s).
      0.0–3.0   HOOK     black; the lens 38 mm over the mirror floor; the blade ignites from its centre
                         outward (0.4–2.0), pools and haze bloom, the flare opens (1.0), dust lights.
      3.0–7.0   PAGE     the blade RISES (3.1–6.2) and the page lights in its wake: cards 3.3–3.9, CTAs
                         4.1–4.3, sub 4.5, the headline TYPES "Save on purpose." while the blade crosses
                         it (4.80–5.55), eyebrow 5.65, nav 5.95; it holds at the top, then sinks back to
                         rest at the foot (6.4–7.4). The lens rises to the whole wall and trucks L -> R.
      7.0–9.0   DARK 1   the lens turns left away from the wall into black: a cyan pool opens on the black
                         water (7.1), the iPhone surfaces through it (7.25–9.0, y -850 -> 0) with a rim, a top
                         light and a cyan kick on its edges and a faint sheen on its dark glass, and lands on
                         the riser's hit (9.0).
      9.0–13.0  DEVICE A wakes (9.05), its screen assembles bottom-first (9.15–10.15); the new-goal input
