Scene 5 loop — footage credits
Current cut: v8-press
Cut on 2026-10-03 from v7-makers (2026-09-29). The six hands that open v7 open this cut too, each shortened to about two seconds; a burin cutting steel hands the mark to the machines; twelve shots of typesetting machines and presses follow, v7's press feed among them, the shortest a little over a second; the animator's hands close it as before. Twenty shots in a 38-second loop. Timecodes refer to the original files linked in selection.json. All clips are silent and at natural speed. Every shot is conformed to one look — monochrome, 24 fps, filling 16:9 around a focus point with no bars, one detail ceiling, measured per-shot levels, one grain and vignette over the whole cut — as described in selection.json's framing and grading.

The arc runs face → mark → thought → fire → voice → design → the line cut in steel → type → press → paper → drawing → life, and dissolves from the animation back to the face. The dissolves are 0.15 seconds, so the run of presses reads as cuts. Because shots 5 and 14 are CC BY-SA 3.0 NL, the loop video file v8-press.mp4 is released under the same licence, CC BY-SA 3.0 NL, with these credits; its poster is a frame of shot 1, which is in the public domain; the rest of this site is unaffected. The source address, in and out points, framing and rights statement of every shot are recorded in selection.json.
