Parent beat: general storyboard 07. After Dex opens (10), before the finger hits END (08). Eleven clips, about 48.5 seconds. Master 16:9 · 24fps · Phase 2 teal. One camera move per clip. Still first — video later.
Lock for every 07.x. Same room as the keeper still: stone chimney, walnut walls, Eames lounge, cream sofa. ADAM: mustard ochre linen blazer, taupe open collar, cream pinstripe, two-tone loafers, black smartwatch, gemstone in-ear in the right ear. DEX: charcoal crew-neck, mid-blue jeans, black socks, no shoes, empty ears. Visor in Adam’s hands or in the case — never on anyone’s head. Headphones never on Dex. This is still Adam’s recording (false present). The headset-on beat is shot 11, in the restore.
Now. Parent still 07.3 and I2V remade to true 16:9. Joined cut 07.1–07.11 rebuilt. Square archived.
Two prompts per cell. The still prompt makes the photograph (Nano Banana), now. I2V is image-to-video, later: after a still locks, you upload that file as frame 1 in Kling / Runway / Luma. It does not generate another picture — it tells the clip how to move (07.1: 4 seconds, slight push in, they breathe, faces and wardrobe stay). Skip I2V until the still is locked.
Board total 48.5s; joined with 0.4s crossfade ≈ 47.5s. Sound later: room tone and dialogue. Static Afterimage already off (05b). Reset does not start until 08.
Full bridge grezzo (01–05 → 05b–10 → here): 01–07 silent.
