Experimental Film: Visible Editing Magic

15-second experimental film that makes editing physically visible. 0–4s: A magician stands in a red room and reaches toward the lens just as the scene cuts to a snowy forest. 4–9s: Their hand catches the cut mid-transition, holding its sharp vertical edge. Red room fills the left half of the image; forest fills the right. 9–12s: They fold the boundary into a paper fan, alternating strips of warm interior and blowing snow. 12–15s: The magician closes the fan. The whole screen compresses into a thin object in their hand, revealing a third room surrounding the camera. Precise visual alignment, tactile folding sounds.
