Desk Flow

One note travels across one desk: the camera flies device to device in one take, the Mac writes, the iPad sketches, the iPhone captures, and all three end showing the same note.

A morning study with an oak desk under a window in a plain painted wall, low sun casting hard window shadows, a desk lamp, books, notebook, mug, trailing plant, a wall shelf and a framed print. Three beats over 25.8 s at 100 bpm: a crane down from the wall to the desk, one long continuous 16 s take gliding from one end of the desk to the other with close raking passes, then a pull back to the whole desk.

Length: 26 s
Scenes: 3
Device: laptop, ipad, iphone
Style: realistic place
Camera: establishing wide, crane, continuous take, ultra closeup, pull back

    THE IDEA. One note travels across one desk. A morning study: an oak desk under a window, a
    laptop, an iPad on a stand and an iPhone on a dock. The camera flies device to device in one
    take and each screen does the one thing that device is best at: the Mac WRITES (the title types,
    the focused block grows a line at a time), the iPad SKETCHES (the board assembles out of the
    air, layer by layer), the iPhone CAPTURES (a quick thought, Send, "Synced"). The end is the
    whole desk: the thought captured on the phone lands on the Mac and the iPad, all three show the
    same note, and the name rises in the window.

    THE WORLD (1 unit = 1 mm). Floor y 0 (oak). A sage wall at z −710 with a window opening
    x −650..650, y 1000..1800 (oak frame, a high transom, a warm morning sky plane behind).
    The low sun comes in through the window from behind-left (a shadow-casting directional, so the
    wall casts the window's patch of light onto the desk). The desk: oak top 2200 × 820, top y 740.
      laptop  (−430, 740, −40)  yaw +16      iPad on its stand (230, 752, −110) yaw −10
      iPhone on its dock (600, 752, 150) yaw −22
      props: desk lamp, books, notebook (left), mug (front centre), pothos (right back), a wall
      shelf with a plant and books (right), a framed print (left). All reused models by name.

    BEATS (music 100 BPM, a beat = 0.6 s; every cut and landing on the grid):
      s1-hook    0–4.8    wide on the wall: "Ideas don't wait." rises over the window, the
                          camera cranes down onto the desk and the three devices
      s2-flow    4.8–21   ONE TAKE device to device (scene time = film − 4.8):
                  0–6.3     MAC · WRITE: the ULTRA CLOSE-UP along the title as it types (yaw 55–60°,
                            fill 190–215), back out, the focused block grows down a line per wrap
                  6.3–11.4  iPad · SKETCH: the board ASSEMBLES (ui-assemble: four layers stream in
                            from off frame, hover exploded, pack home) seen 3/4 so the stack reads
                  11.4–16.2 iPhone · CAPTURE: the pill grows a line as it wraps, Send dips, the
                            capture lands in Inbox, the "Synced" toast lands
      s3-sync    21–25.8  the capture lands on the Mac and the iPad, sync chips pop on all three,
                          the camera pulls back to the whole desk; INKWELL rises in the window

    REQUIRED READING USED: expand-input (typewriter channel; top-pinned autogrow on the Mac,
    bottom-pinned autogrow on the phone; Send dip; landings), ui-assemble (iPad board, 4 registered
    layers, bottom-first stream, exploded +22 mm per layer, home bottom-first), closeups (the ultra
    on e-title, side=front, near 20).

    TEMPLATE SWAP POINTS — to re-skin for your own app:
      1. APP NAME: text3d#name (s3) `text=`, and the "Inkwell" strings in tpl-deskflow.screens.html
         (sidebar logo, lock-screen widget), then reconvert (command below) and re-paste.
      2. COPY: hook text3d#hook-a / #hook-b (s1) and tagline text3d#tagline (s3); the typed lines
         are the text of e-title, e-l1..e-l3 (Mac), c-l1/c-l2 (phone) — keep each typed line one
         visual line; widths come from the converter.
      3. SCREENS: tpl-deskflow.screens.html, one <section data-ui> per screen:
           lp-edit (Mac editor) · pd-lock (iPad hook) · pd-base/pd-frames/pd-sticky/pd-tools (the 4
           iPad layers that assemble) · ph-cap (phone capture) · lp-final/pd-final/ph-final (end).
         Keep the data-promo-id pieces (and their geometry) if you keep the rigs; convert with
