Kinetic Launch Film

Overview

A film here is a spec: scene blocks placed on the beat grid of its music, plus a palette, a caption track and a logo. The engine turns it into one web page where every frame is a pure function of time, so a renderer can seek anywhere and average sub-frames into real motion blur. Nothing in the motion is generated: every word is the word you wrote, and one palette change rebrands the whole film.

• Code makes all the motion, from 14 blocks: kinetic type, a 3D title, key-art cut-ins, an end card.
• Scenario makes what code cannot: a music bed at the exact tempo the grid needs, a kit of one-shot sound effects, and any key art, product shot or character the Picture block cuts in.
• finish.py passes a film only with 40% still frames or less, no still stretch over 0.6 s, and a median motion of 2.5 px/frame or more before the end card. A film that parks fails.
