## How it was made (from the composition's header)

CONCEPT — one take, and the light carries the camera. ebb is a focus timer (fictional); its one object is a field of warm
light that lives under everything and is time made visible. The camera never cuts: it starts inside the digits, pulls out
to the Mac app, rides the light up while a session runs, punches onto 00:00, and travels under the flood while it drains
in rings — the rings open on the phone, whose lock screen is the break in silk. It pushes onto the Live Activity, whips
down onto the day's sessions (three rows of silk at three depths, drifting against each other), dollies along them, and
pulls back while they fly into the week. The week sinks into the horizon as light, and the name rises out of it.

The camera is keyed (OM.camera) plus shake, parallax (OM.view depth) and a far lattice — no OM.rig, so it runs on lite.

 0.00–1.25    25:00, macro             3.6×, dead still                                 the digits
 1.25–2.10    the Mac window           pull out to 1.12× (quintInOut)                   the window
 2.20         start                    a tap of shake; the pill dips (.snappy), becomes the running dot
 2.35–4.35    the session              slow push to 1.5× with a 1.3° dutch; handheld    the light
                                       odometer digits, light rising behind the glass, white where it passes; sidebar bar fills
 4.35–4.95    00:00                    punch to 3× on the colon (expoOut), hold         the light
 4.95–5.25    flood                    shake                                            the light
 5.25–6.75    drain → phone            rings leave the colon; under them the camera travels 3× → 1× to the phone  the silk
 6.35–7.55    the break                push to 2× on the Live Activity; break 4:59 ticks  the silk
 7.55–8.15    whip                     down onto the rows (expoInOut), landing shake    the rows
 8.15–9.70    the day                  dolly left along three rows at three depths      the cards
 9.70–10.75   the week                 pull back, rotate level; 21 cards fly to a 7 × 3 grid  the grid
 10.95–11.80  into the light           crane down; the grid sinks column by column; the field rises  the light
 11.80–12.60  ebb                      the name drops, the line rises; belt and silk slow to a stop
 12.60–15.00  rest                     dead still
