Noise to Temple · Daybreak (v3A)

Fifteen seconds from market noise to a finished temple. The chaos freezes, six gold candles rise into columns, and the medallion lands as a struck coin.

Process

Blocked in 3D. Painted. Moved. Finished by hand.

  1. Lock the canon: cast and world signed off before anything moves.
  2. Block it in 3D: camera, scale and motion, in grey boxes.
  3. Paint the frame: every blockout repainted in the locked style.
  4. Move it, then finish it: the best take wins; sound and edit by hand.
