[SHOT 3.01 | START FRAME: NB Pro 3.01 output | DURATION: 4s] Real-time pacing, wide static exterior. The Super Chief moves at approximately 55 miles per hour across the frame from left to right. In the first second, only the middle two cars are in the visible frame — the composition established in the start frame holds. Wheels turn at speed with realistic rotational blur, undercarriage components (brake lines, springs, axle housings) blur with the wheel rotation while the mid-car body reads sharp. Faint dust and small pieces of dry grass debris kick up from the trackside ballast in tiny bursts as each car passes. By the second second, the trailing car begins entering frame from the left as the leading car begins exiting to the right — the whole train translates through the composition without changing its diagonal geometry. By the fourth second, the last visible car passes toward frame-right; a faint heat-shimmer distortion trails behind the train against the prairie; the treeline in the upper third holds absolutely still. Camera: locked static tripod with a nearly imperceptible wind shudder — one to two pixels of drift, no more. No pan, no push, no follow. Focus: locked. The mid-car body is sharp; wheels and undercarriage soft with motion; prairie mid-focus; treeline holds sharp at infinity. Light and atmosphere in motion: the side-raking afternoon sun holds constant — no flicker on the train body. Dry grass in the foreground sways gently in real prairie wind, one direction only, no gusts. A single soft trail of exhaust vapor from beyond the front of the train drifts up and back, thinning as it rises. Tempo: real time, no cuts, no ramps.
