@image1 is the absolute character lock for the opening state: face, body, hair and clothing are taken from it exactly, with no drift or reinterpretation. @image2 is the absolute lock for the state after the transition: hair and makeup match it exactly. The person, the clothing and the location are the same before and after — only the hair and makeup change. One continuous handheld shot at arm's length, the subject framed from the chest up. They face the lens with the chin dipped slightly and lift one open palm toward the camera. The palm rises and sweeps across until it fills the frame completely in motion blur. As it clears to the opposite side they are revealed in the state of @image2, already settled and facing the lens. They raise one hand and rake the fingers slowly back through the hair from the temple, releasing the lengths to fall. They turn the head to one side and back, the hair swinging out and resettling against the shoulder. They lower the hand and square up to the lens, a small closed-lip smile arriving as the last of the hair comes to rest. Constant handheld micro-movement throughout, the framing breathing gently as if the camera is held in one hand. The palm crossing the lens is the only transition — everything on either side of it runs as one unbroken take. The camera holds its distance: no push in, no pull back, no orbit. No spoken dialogue, no on-screen text, no watermark.
