Gantry

A riveted steel room furnished with black perforated cubes where phones lean, lie flat and stack, then a laptop and a phone share one frame: a task typed on the phone lands on the laptop board, so one account syncing across devices is the story.

A small riveted steel room of weathered plates on the back and side walls, a brushed metal floor streaking toward the lens and perforated cubes as furniture, lit by a wall-mounted bar that gives a soft top light and a flare, one hard key from the front-left and a cool fill. Seven beats over 45 s at 100 bpm: the bar flickering on, a low dolly, a top-down, a lateral move, a long-lens cut-in, a slow circling move, then a pull-back to the whole room.

    GANTRY · THE METAL ROOM — a 42.8 s app promo for Gantry, a project-and-notes app that lives on
    the phone and the laptop. A riveted steel room with real contact shadows, black perforated cubes
    as furniture, phones leaned, laid flat and stacked, then a laptop and a phone sharing one frame.
    Every screen is the app, and the laptop + phone beat is one account syncing.

    THE WORLD (1 unit = 1 mm, floor y=0, built once as template#room and lit by template#rig):
      back wall z=-900, left wall x=-1300, 2 m high: 600 x 400 weathered steel plates (bump + roughness
      from the library's disturb map) on a black backing, ~500 rivets on the seams. Brushed floor
      (the same noise stretched 40:0.6 into streaks running toward the lens). A wall-mounted LED bar
      at y=1440 is the practical: it motivates the top light and the anamorphic flare.
      Stations: A cube 180 at (0,0,0) with phone A leaned on it and phone B face-down in front;
                B cube 220 at (650,-350) with phone C lying face-up on top;
                C a lacquer plinth 1000 x 120 x 520 at (-520,-420) with the laptop and cube D +
                  phone D leaned on it (the two-device station);
                D a V of two phones standing on a third, face-down, at (-420, 520).
    THE APP: Gantry — dark cool-slate UI (canvas #0d1116, ink #e9eff4), signal cyan #22c4ee accent
      (light #67d8f5, tint #0f2f3a), synced lime #b4e33d, tags rose #f06aa8 / amber #f5b841. The mark is
      a crane glyph on a cyan tile. The room's practicals run cool: LED #e8f6ff, flares #b5e9ff / #cdf0ff,
      the signal rule #3fd0f5. One account on both devices: Priya Desai (PD), Larkspur Studio, project
      "Orion release". Screens are Tailwind HTML (ref-ma-09-metal-room.screens.html) converted with
      scripts/html-screens.mts. Audio: music:gantry-bed, media:gantry-<name> (audio-work/gantry_*.py).
