Aurora Field

A forward dolly through depth, scrubbed by the wheel. Layered gates — thin rings and frames — rush the camera, blurring and blowing past as fresh ones sharpen out of the vanishing point, while type plates drift by at four beats. The run lands on a headline blooming out of a light shaft; scroll back and the whole corridor reverses.

A mesh of soft color lobes moves through low-frequency noise, producing an aurora that never repeats. Blur and grain keep the banding invisible.

Characters lift from a baseline mask with a per-glyph delay, arriving from blur and a few pixels below into sharp focus.
