Scene & Mood: A Giallo-yellow V12 scissor-door hypercar is built as a holographic model on a desk, driven out of a white photo stage into London, folds in mid-air into a walking exosuit, outruns two camera helicopters down a snow pass, folds back into the car, and turns out to be footage playing on a tablet on that same desk.
Frame Map: Beats 1-4 look down on the desk at 40 degrees, the hologram occupying the center third, one hand entering from the lower-right frame edge. Beats 5-8 hold the car dead center, occupying 45% of frame width. Beats 9-16 hold the exosuit centered and the helicopters in the right background third, x=75%, never crossing to screen-left. Title beat leaves the lower center third empty for typography.
Subject Lock — the yellow hypercar: mid-engine wedge silhouette, Giallo-yellow bodywork with satin finish, black carbon splitter and diffuser, scissor doors, hexagonal Y-motif tail lamps, black forged wheels with yellow calipers. Bodywork, color, and silhouette identical from the hologram beat to the final aerial.
Subject Lock — the exosuit: a heavy industrial walking exosuit built from large smooth monolithic armor volumes with very few panel lines, upright human proportion, square shoulders, a short thick neck with the head sunk between the shoulder blocks. Standing the height of three humans stacked. Giallo-yellow satin plating across the chest plastron, shoulder blocks, and upper thighs; matte graphite black on the head, forearms, lower legs, and every joint. The chest is one unbroken armored plastron with a single vertical cooling slot down its centerline. The car's front clamshell is folded flat across the upper back as a dorsal shell, the scissor doors stowed vertically along the spine, the hexagonal tail lamps sitting as two amber running lights on the shoulder blades. The head is a sealed graphite helmet with one continuous amber visor band running its full width, a smooth uninterrupted faceplate below it. Exposed hydraulic pistons run the length of the forearms and behind the knees. The plating carries no antenna horns, no separate eye lenses, no exposed gear clusters, and no shredded overlapping shard geometry — the surfaces read sealed and industrial. Proportion, color split, and helmet design identical across every beat it appears.
Subject Lock — the hands: two bare hands, a beaded bracelet on the left wrist, forearm ink, entering from the lower frame edge, fingertips pinching and tapping the hologram, palms never covering the model.
Subject Lock — the helicopters: two slate-grey camera helicopters flying in loose right-echelon formation, a gimbal camera ball mounted under each nose, landing lights on, holding station off the exosuit's right shoulder. Livery, formation, and screen side identical every time they appear.
Cross-Frame Rules: the car and the exosuit are the same object in two states — the Giallo-yellow upper plating, the graphite black lower limbs, and the hexagonal amber lamps carry across every transformation. The helicopters hold the right background through every beat they appear.
Movement:
0.0s -> 2.6s — floating glass spec cards hover above a dark desk mat, a hand pinches one, it unfolds into a miniature white cyclorama on the desk, a cyan loading ring climbs 93% to 100%, fingers tap three toggles that snap to checkmarks. 2.6s HARD CUT.
2.6s -> 5.0s — a bare chassis and drivetrain materialize on the turntable, a red scan ring sweeps outward across the floor, yellow body panels wrap onto the frame from the nose backward, the finished car settles, both hands pinch outward to scale it. 5.0s MATCH CUT on the car.
5.0s -> 6.9s — the camera dives into the hologram and lands at full scale inside a white seamless studio, one 180-degree orbit at 4 km/h, headlights snap on, push to a wheel macro. 6.9s SMASH CUT.
6.9s -> 7.7s — dusk London, the car crosses a stone bridge at 190 km/h, a Gothic riverside parliament silhouette and a lit clock tower streaking behind. 7.7s no cut.
7.7s -> 9.4s — the car hits a raised ramp and launches, then reconfigures in mid-air in one continuous mechanical motion: the body splits along its centerline and telescopes upward, the front clamshell rotates back over the shoulders on visible pivots, the doors fold flat against the spine, the wheels rotate inward into the hips, legs extend downward, arms unpack from the flanks along hydraulic rails. Every panel stays attached and rides a visible hinge, nothing scatters. 9.4s -> 10.0s the exosuit lands in a three-point crouch facing camera, the amber visor band ignites across the full width of the helmet, the clock tower behind at 200 meters. 10.0s WHIP CUT, 0.9s of motion blur.
10.0s -> 11.9s — snow pass at blue hour, the exosuit runs downhill at 90 km/h throwing snow, drops forward and folds back to car form, a wall of snow spray wipes the frame white. 11.9s HARD CUT.
11.9s -> 13.7s — a face macro, the single amber visor band filling the frame edge to edge, then the two camera helicopters swing in from the right rear at 220 km/h and hold formation, rotor downwash driving a 6-meter snow cloud across the road. 13.7s HARD CUT.
13.7s -> 15.8s — the exosuit plants both feet, snow spraying forward 4 meters, the right forearm unfolds into a telescoping thruster module that vents one orange pressure burst, the flare warming the snow for 0.2s and pushing a ring of powder outward across the road. 15.8s FLASH CUT to white.
15.8s -> 16.5s — a white card holds, a dark wordmark centered, one horizontal glitch bar crossing it. 16.5s HARD CUT.
16.5s -> 18.0s — the exosuit runs straight at the lens at 100 km/h, an orange course-marker flare burning on the ridge behind at x=15%, its black smoke column rising straight up in the still air.
18.0s -> 19.5s — still running toward camera, the exosuit folds down into the car mid-stride in one continuous hinged motion, the dorsal shell rotating forward over the nose and sealing first, and lands on four wheels at 140 km/h. 19.5s HARD CUT.
19.5s -> 21.0s — extreme aerial, the yellow car reading 3% of frame height on a serpentine road, then a rear three-quarter at 30 meters, full-width tail bar lit red.
21.0s -> 23.8s — three beauty passes: low front three-quarter, camera 40cm off the snow; a locked profile at 210 km/h; a drone chase carving one long left-hand curve. 23.8s HARD CUT.
23.8s -> 25.8s — extreme aerial wide of the whole pass, the car a yellow dot on the switchbacks, title typography fades up over the mountains. 25.8s MATCH CUT.
25.8s -> 27.0s — the same aerial is playing on a tablet standing on the dark desk from beat 1, the camera pulls back and lifts, the desk empty, the screen glow the only light.
Micro-motion: snow granules stream off every panel edge, exhaust heat shimmer behind the car, hydraulic pistons breathing in and out along the exosuit's forearms, the desk hologram flickers 2% at its edges.
Environmental motion: blowing snow at 40% density readable to 80 meters on the pass, London haze at 25% density readable to 60 meters, low cloud drifting across the ridge screen-left at 8 km/h.
The camera adds no further cuts, edits happen only at the marks written above.
Last Frame: the empty dark desk seen from 40 degrees above, the tablet centered in the lower third still glowing with the mountain aerial, keyboard and desk mat in shadow, the room black beyond the desk edge. The only typography rendered anywhere in the sequence is the title lockup over the mountains at 23.8s and the wordmark card at 15.8s; every other frame carries clean imagery with no captions and no signage.
World Plate: three worlds — a black room with one dark wood desk lit only by the hologram; a white seamless cyclorama with even soft top light; a high alpine pass at blue hour, packed snow road, black rock spires, guardrail posts, overcast ceiling. Color lives on surfaces: Giallo yellow on the bodywork and the exosuit's upper plating carrying the warm values in the frame, amber only in the visor band and the shoulder running lights, cyan only in the desk hologram interface, everything else desaturated blue-grey snow and slate rock so the yellow is the only saturated body color on screen.
Sound Bed: Diegetic only — V12 exhaust bark and downshift crackle, tyres compressing packed snow, hydraulic hiss and heavy panel latching through each reconfiguration, rotor wash and turbine spool from the helicopters, one deep pneumatic pressure burst with a rolling valley echo, wind across the pass, soft interface taps and a single confirmation chime on the desk. No music, no dialogue.
Capture Realism: every plane sits inside real depth — suspended snow particulate and cold haze hang in the air between camera, the yellow car, and the rock spires, the far ridges rendering softer, desaturated, and lower-contrast than the foreground so the car sits inside the air instead of pasted on it. Snow melt on the bodywork mutes and deepens the yellow without a single specular hotspot, the paint reading satin rather than glossy. The hands on the desk read true cinematic matte — zero shine across the knuckles and forearm, real fine skin texture, light absorbed like subsurface scattering, warmth preserved, never plastic. Low-contrast curve, shadows lifted gently holding texture in the graphite plating, highlights rolled off softly with nothing clipping in the snow. Speculars removed from metal, paint, and glass, every pixel matte and diffuse. Slightly desaturated grade with the yellow held warm.
Camera Capture: wide-latitude cinema capture, vintage 2x anamorphic character at a wide aperture — oval bokeh, soft edge falloff — light diffusion bloom, handheld and shaky throughout with no stabilized shots, color-negative film rendition with heavier low-light grain, blue-hour cool grade with dusty atmospheric haze, 24fps 180 degree shutter, 27s. Per-beat lens: 12 degrees (180mm) tele detail on the desk hologram, 84 degrees (24mm) architectural wide inside the white studio and on the London bridge run, 47 degrees (50mm) neutral through the reconfiguration and the pass run, 18 degrees (100mm) tight on the visor macro and the grille beauty pass, 8 degrees (300mm) extreme long lens on both aerials, returning to 12 degrees (180mm) on the closing desk. Intercut 96fps high-speed slow-motion at the mid-air reconfiguration and the pressure burst, holding 180 degree shutter.
