The Seahorse Manifesto – Two-Part Narrative Assembly
Pipeline Protocols & Technique
01 / Structural Sequencing
Splitting a single brand story into an intro teaser and a primary feature required distinct pacing curves — a fast hook for the teaser cut, and a slower, breathing rhythm for the primary edit, without repeating footage back to back.
02 / Beat-Synced Trimming
Every cut point was placed against the underlying music's transient hits, tightening perceived tempo without speeding up the underlying footage.
