Slit-scan time ribbon

Make a 13-second vertical dance edit of my clips through a slit-scan time warp. Make every row of the frame play the dancer at its own moment, on a smooth wave of time that runs down the frame, so every move bends into a ribbon of time while the background stays sharp. Grow the warp through the build, snap it to zero on the drop, bring it back, and close on my artist name. Footage: I attach six dance clips filmed on a still camera: full-body moves, a close shot in laser light, two dancers to camera, a sharp spin for the drop, and a laughing face in headphones. Pick the strongest move for the first shot. Format and song: 9:16, 1080 by 1920. Use a track with a clear build and drop. Put the drop at 6.6 seconds and cut every change on a beat: a hook of five beats, the laser shot of four beats and the two dancers for six beats, then a drop shot of four beats, the face for four beats and a last shot of six beats. The warp: play 12 copies of each shot at once, each one frame behind the one before. Run the time down the frame as a smooth sine wave with three soft bands that roll slowly, and blend each row between the copies nearest its time, so neighbouring rows differ by a fraction of a frame. There must be no steps, stripes or zigzags anywhere. Start the hook with the oldest rows about a quarter second behind and grow that to about a third of a second by the drop. Start the laser shot after the lasers are on, so its first frame already has light and the beams bend into curtains. On the faces keep the lag to about a tenth of a second, so they bend gently and stay readable. The drop, at 6.6 seconds: cut to a sharp dancer with no warp at all, a soft warm white light flash and a punch-in from 100 to 110 percent in three frames that keeps creeping in. After two beats, bring the ribbon back sideways, with the time running across the frame. Every other shot pushes in slowly from 100 to 105 percent. Look: punchy and colourful, contrast up 12 to 20 percent, saturation up 10 to 20 percent, dark shots lifted a little, a soft vignette. Keep each clip's own colours. Ending: in the last shot, my artist name KAIRO rises in through the same wave of time in Anton capitals, white, about 330 pixels tall, near the top over the wall and never across a face. Each row shows its rise a moment later, so it arrives as a sliced ribbon, then it closes into one solid word as it lands with nothing trailing under it, and the warp on the picture eases to zero just before the end. Sound: the song carries it. A riser peaks on the drop frame together with a short low hit, then the song's drop. A soft suck-in swell peaks as the name closes. No whooshes on the cuts.
