References for this keyframe. Footage is marked; rights are as stated by the source, and unknown rights are not treated as granted. "Unverified" means the link could not be opened when collected.
Light does not arrive in an empty world. What it becomes depends on what receives it, and what people do next.
Ranked by how directly each story communicates the project. Three-film introduction: 1 → 2 → 3. For an HCI or thermal-media room: 4, then 2.
Each keyframe is drawn in code so it can be re-rendered, and carries a prompt for an image model, and the archive material that would build it. Layers are labelled the way the PAELEO studies label them: PHOTOGRAPHED for archive plates and footage, INVENTED for drawn figures and props matted over them. A shot that combines archive fragments into an event that never happened carries the caption "COMPOSED SCENE · archive fragments re-performed · not a recorded event".
CINEOSIS LAB draws its shots from movingimagearchive.com and links each shot back to its source; references here keep that rule. The critic test from the handmade study applies to each film: watched before the theory is read, can a viewer say what the character wanted, what physically changed, what they understood or misunderstood, and why the ending mattered?
