Fermata

Four sculptural studio sets cut hard on the beat: a plaster wall carved as nested squircle bands that steps out toward the lens, a phone balanced on the corner of a cobalt pillar, a phone lying on wavy cobalt bands, and a light studio sweep for the end card.

Cool plaster studio sets at product scale: a relief wall of nested rounded-square bands with a flipping centre tile, a backdrop with a tall square pillar turned 45 degrees, a floor of overlapping wavy bands and a smooth cyclorama sweep, all under cool bright light with crisp cast shadows and shallow depth of field. Four set changes over 28.4 s at about 116 bpm, each a single orbit, boom or spin with playful landings.

Length: 28 s

    REF-MA-16 · SQUIRCLE RELIEF — a 28.4 s, four-set app reel for an invented music player,
    Fermata ("hold the moment": its mark is a fermata, a white arc held over a dot on a teal
    squircle). The shot sheet is reference-shot-sheet.md beside this file; the screens are
    fermata.screens.html (Tailwind only), converted by scripts/html-screens.mts
    (fermata.sections.json, r = 9.1 on every phone screen).

    The reel cuts hard between four sets, one per beat
    (transition=none, no gaps): 8.3 + 5.0 + 5.3 + 9.8 = 28.4 s.

      S1  0.0– 8.3  a light-grey wall carved as nested squircle bands. The centre tile flips
                    to show the Fermata icon, the name types on under it; the camera orbits left
                    while the bands step out toward the lens, phone 1 swings in square to the
                    lens, the bands come back flush and phones 2 and 3 slide out behind it.
      S2  8.3–13.3  a mid-grey backdrop and a cobalt pillar turned 45°. Phone 4 is thrown up
                    into frame and lands balanced on the pillar's front corner (the physics
                    beat: easeOutQuad rise, easeInQuad fall, one small restitution hop, a damped
                    rock); the camera booms down with it.
      S3 13.3–18.6  high angle on a floor of overlapping cobalt wavy bands, phone 5 lying on
                    them; the camera orbits round the vertical and rises toward top-down, so
                    the frame turns ~30° and the phone ends upright.
      S4 18.6–28.4  a light-grey studio sweep. Phone 6 turns square to the lens, the search
                    types; one full spin carries it to the left third (its screen changes while
                    the back faces us), the end card builds on the right, phone 8 slides out.

    Units mm. Devices are iphone elements only (space black); every phone screen is a
    ui3d(overlay=screen glass_clip=off) stage with the converted HTML block; ids are unique per
    scene. No ultra close-up, growing input or assembling screen: the reference has none (the
    user waived those house rules for this batch).
