# Running caption over borrowed cutaways

## What it is

One continuous narration is chopped into per-beat caption fragments that never complete a sentence, and that running caption is the only thing holding together footage the creator did not shoot — someone else's clip, a published diagram, a screen recording, stock process footage. A small talking-head panel or cut-out is pinned somewhere in frame so the narrator never fully leaves.

## Why it works

The caption is always mid-sentence, so there is never a clean place to leave. The borrowed material supplies authority and production value the creator could never shoot, and the persistent narrator panel makes it read as one argument instead of a scrapbook.

## The beats, in order

1. hook beat — a banner or first caption fragment fires over the presenter or the first source
2. cut to borrowed source 1, caption continues mid-sentence
3. cut to borrowed source 2 from a visibly unrelated place, caption continues
4. back to the presenter panel — the claim is named
5. borrowed source 3 as the proof, caption still unfinished
6. close on the presenter or a final borrowed frame

## On-screen text

one caption box in the same position all runtime, its words changing every beat as a continuous narration; each card cut off mid-sentence, often with one word highlighted; nothing is ever pinned unchanged

## Camera

no camera of its own for most of the runtime — full-frame borrowed sources cut against a fixed studio or desk plate; the presenter panel never moves

## Higgsfield — image prompt

```
vertical 9:16, {presenter described exactly} seated at {fixed set}, framing locked and identical every beat, {light source}, with {borrowed source material described exactly} occupying the rest of the frame, phone-camera or studio look as described, no on-screen text
```

## Higgsfield — motion

```
presenter plate absolutely static across every generation (same seed); the borrowed panel swaps between beats with no camera move of its own
```
