# Silent build to withheld reveal

## What it is

Sequential build steps in one location with zero on-screen text and no address to camera. The camera tightens monotonically as the runtime goes on — wide on the maker, then medium at the work, then hands-only, then macro. The retention device is the unfinished object: you cannot tell what it is until the last beat opens or places it.

## Why it works

An unfinished object is a question the viewer has to stay to have answered, and no caption can substitute for it. Silence keeps every second on the work, and the tightening camera signals the answer is getting closer without saying so.

## The beats, in order

1. wide — the maker and the room, materials laid out
2. medium at the work — the first step, still unreadable
3. hands-only, closer — the object starts to take shape
4. closer again — one step from the answer
5. the reveal: cut open, demoulded, or placed where it lives

## On-screen text

none at any beat — no captions, no labels, no address to camera; the post caption carries everything

## Camera

one location, tightening monotonically across the runtime from wide to macro; no cutaway, no second location, no talking head

## Higgsfield — image prompt

```
vertical 9:16, {maker described exactly} in {workspace described exactly}, {materials described exactly} on the work surface, {light source}, phone-camera look, slight grain, unstyled, no on-screen text
```

## Higgsfield — motion

```
each beat tighter than the last — wide on the room, then the work, then hands only, then macro on {the reveal}; no cuts away and no camera moves inside a beat
```
