Visual stages, comparisons and decisions from the original run. Internal prompts, operating documents and downloadable implementation files are omitted. Some interactive comparisons are shown as separate images.
Reach / Retreat
The figure through the studio.
59 distinct full-image states, from the opening studies to Hold. A silent 1080p film, about 3 minutes 56 seconds, with labelled chapters and gentle dissolves.
How to read the progression
Rejected branches, intended tonal fields and technical construction studies are labelled. Branches do not all descend from the immediately preceding frame. The user-supplied workroom return has an unknown exact parent. Repeated source copies, pixel-identical aliases, detail crops and contact sheets are omitted.
This is a film of saved image checkpoints, not a recording of individual strokes. Each source image is shown uncropped, with its proportions preserved.
