The front page was showing a film I generated, and it was the weakest asset in the
project: silent, slow, and stylistically plain. Meanwhile roughly 260 finished
films made with HyperFrames sat in ~/Downloads/hyperframes-launches and
~/Desktop/hyperframes-launches, most at 1080p with audio, and the good ones were
only reachable from /examples.
The hero is now the website-launch film - 38s, 1080p, real audio at -14.3 dB. It
shows the whole loop in one take: a site captured, FRAME.md, STORYBOARD.md and
SCRIPT.md written, the film rendered. It autoplays muted and unmutes on demand.
"What can it make?" was four five-second catalog snippets. It is now six finished
films: colour grading, one shoot cut many ways, a music-driven edit, a pull request
explained, timeline editing, and a personalised year-in-review. Each tile is a
silent six-second loop of 37-241KB; selecting one loads the full film with sound,
so the 1-8MB files are only fetched when someone asks for them. Tile moments were
chosen by looking at them at the 320px they actually render: the first cuts of the
music and pull-request films were an empty waveform and an illegible terminal, so
both were re-cut to the sections that read.
Removed the silent film I had committed, now that nothing references it.
The previous commit pointed the introduction at a film that was never added.
.gitignore excludes docs/images/* so that generated catalog previews stay out of
the repository, with explicit negations for the few authored assets that belong
in it - the Studio screenshots. `git add -A` therefore skipped the film silently
and the page shipped with a hero that resolved to a 404.
Negated the showcase directory the same way the Studio screenshots already are,
and noted why this one is exempt: it is authored rather than generated, it is the
whole argument of the page, and at 332KB silent it is smaller than a single
catalog preview - so the page cannot break when a CDN credential expires.
