How a frame is made

Sheet. Lock. Shot.

Every character in the film passes through the same forge. A canon sheet becomes an identity lock, and the lock becomes the shot. The models never meet a face they haven't been shown.

01

The sheet

Kairo's canon turnaround, approved under the Griot Protocol before a single frame is generated.

IVL-CH-KAIRO-SHEET-v02 · canon v15
02

The lock

An identity lock in the Silent Yard light. Every later generation references this crop, never a text description.

IVL-CH-KAIRO-LOCK-v01
03

The shot

Kairo lowers the skiff into black water, hammer flat to his chest. Generated from the lock, cut into the film.

The same discipline holds for sets, props and sound: Blender geometry first, generation inside known model limits, every asset registered with an ID, then a human finish in Premiere, Resolve and Logic.

Apple Vision Pro

Built to stand in your room.

Legends was designed for the headset as much as the screen: a calm Shared Space window that opens into a Full Space moment, comfort depth of 1.5 to 2.5 metres, 60-point targets, spatial audio anchored to its source. Key scenes are being prepared as spatial video and volumetric set pieces.
