Episode 05

The Lock

A three-chamber navigation lock, twenty minutes before sunrise. One continuous ascent from a shut gate on black water, up through the filling chambers, to the whole flight in morning sun. Ninety-six seconds, twelve shots, no cuts, no narration — and the only episode in which the space itself moves.

Two versions

Cut A · linear

1:36, with score

The film as made: twelve eight-second shots end to end, zero transitions, one piece of music and no narration. This is the version above.

Cut B · scroll

1:16, silent

The same film, cut for the page: the five connecting moves run at double speed so that scroll distance stays proportional to film time. It never plays — your scroll position drives it, frame by frame. Deliberately silent.
