Aetherlock — Blender 4.2 white-model shot
========================================

Story: a forgotten key returns, unlocks the sealed gate, and wakes the academy.

This archive is the editable source (Python). Install Blender 4.2+, then:

  blender --background --python aetherlock_shot.py

12s / 24fps (frames 1–288). Camera is a single take:

  0.00  off-axis worm's-eye approach, key flies in
  1.55  key seats, turns, lock collar yields
  1.95  camera punches through the keyhole
  3.35  weave through awakening astrolabe rings
  5.55  crane-out reveal of the sleeping city
  7.70  orbit; islands slam up; bridges snap
  8.85  guardian dragon crosses close, then banks away

Optional environment:

  AETHERLOCK_OUT    output folder (default: ../public)
  AETHERLOCK_END    last frame (default 288)
  AETHERLOCK_STILL  render a single frame number instead of the animation
