Manan standing in the lit doorway, seen from behind, hand raised to the door. He is 80 percent of the height of the opening.
THE FRAME THE ARRIVAL PULL BACK STARTS ON. A mockup: he is keyed by luma from footage shot against black and graded onto the film's paper. IT SHOWS SCALE AND POSITION, NOT THE FINISH. Composite from the alpha footage. An earlier attempt measured the light spill instead of the arch and made him taller than the door; the opening is 463 px and he is 370.
The clip that loops in the sequence on the front page, at 480 wide, the loop. The loop there is 480 wide and silent, small enough that the page stays light. Served from this repository rather than YouTube, which lays a title card and a watermark over an embed and makes it unreadable at thumbnail size. The 4K master is not in the repository; this is the loop that is.
The take with a real alpha channel, ready to composite. Use this, not the mockup above.

Phase. Phase 8 of 15, THE HOUSE OF THE BODY.
Hero’s journey. THE ROAD OF TESTS. Three wrong rooms, each saying no, none of them the thing that stopped him.
Element. EARTH and the body. Walls you could put a hand on.
