Scenes and rhythm
Flash bursts land on a readable frame
Flash one varying element, then land on a held frame that says something.
Takeaways
- One varying element, locked layout.
- 2 to 3 frames each; 8 to 24 frames in all.
- Land on a held frame, 12 or more.
- No information inside the burst.
What it means
A flash-frame burst builds anticipation before a reveal or a drop, or conveys speed and overload. Nobody can read information at two frames each, so the burst carries no message. The message waits on the frame it lands on.
In a RasanAI film
Vary one element in a locked layout, hold each flash for two or three frames, run the whole burst for 8 to 24 frames, then land on a frame held for at least 12 on the downbeat. One or two bursts per film, never back to back.
