Pale contour lines draw outward from a summit on black letterbox while the map slowly turns, one contour traces in red, a blurred red ink bloom grows inside a drawn ring as credits resolve from blur, and the title settles over faint contours with a thin red rule.",

  "guide": "- Black #070707 with permanent 110px letterbox bars; the only colour is red #c4161c.\n- Contours are 16–18 closed SVG paths built from layered sine wobbles around one summit; vary stroke weight every fourth line and fade opacity outward. Draw them outward with a small stagger.\n- Keep the map slowly rotating and scaling (linear) under the credits; trace one contour in red after the draw.\n- Ink blooms are a few blurred (40–50px) red ellipses scaling up at different times inside a thin drawn ring.\n- Credits: uppercase Cormorant Garamond, role small and muted above the name, very wide tracking; resolve from blur, never slide far.\n- End on the title with a short red rule and one quiet line (release window)."
