{"n": 2, "what": "first full plane stack + dog pieces, 6 test frames (0, 3.6, 9, 19, 25, 27 s)", "saw": "pipeline works (0.3 s/frame); clapboards cut from mixed sources read as torn noise with black gaps; treeline boxes carried windmill sails and straight crop edges; the room's back wall too low (sky seen through the door); camera holds lose the sitting person after 9 s; a top rail at 0.85 m crossed the dog's head when the camera craned down", "changed": "clapboards as continuous boards with only the found grain; tree-only boxes, feathered sides, dark ground under them; room wall to 4.6 m and wider; camera re-keyed (pchip, wide until 14.6 s, then truck left with the approach, then through the railing plane); top rail removed (posts, bottom rail and beam remain)"}

{"n": 4, "what": "person v1 (tubes with a black ball head)", "saw": "reads as a mannequin/robot", "changed": "head is now a cut-paper profile silhouette with a bun, facing the dog; torso a tapered smock"}
{"n": 5, "what": "close test frame 27.5 s (look-in)", "saw": "the back of the head with both ears toward us, inside the door frame, the lit room beyond; lamp glow made dark smudges (black RGB under partial alpha)", "changed": "glow filled warm under its alpha; picture moved above the table; final camera lowered to 0.55 m and pulled back slightly so the whole lying dog is in frame"}
