New frontrunner
Ground / Sea / Energy Return V2
Current best new direction. Adds the ship-at-sea bridge and a recognizable wind-energy return while keeping the sequence tight enough for a homepage hero.

Current Read
Paul should review the new frontrunner against the original lineup keeper. The decision is less about picking the flashiest render and more about which loop gives Strohwig the clearest first impression: grounded manufacturing, credible industrial markets, and enough motion energy for the top of the homepage.

New frontrunner
Current best new direction. Adds the ship-at-sea bridge and a recognizable wind-energy return while keeping the sequence tight enough for a homepage hero.
Baseline keeper
The strongest earlier lineup and pacing pass. Use this as the baseline for deciding whether the new Ground / Sea / Energy sequence is the better story.
Timing reference
Same V2 sequence before the 18-second retime. Only use this if the frontrunner feels too compressed and the pacing needs more room.
Smooth timing source
Default review cut. Uses the longer stitch timing to reduce the dropped-frame stutter from the compressed 20-second export.
20s homepage candidate
Tighter homepage-length version. Kept here for direct comparison against the smoother timing pass.
Saved favorite
Earlier continuous-shot direction that sold the fly-through language.
Defense variant
Alternate product-adjacent pass with American defense cues.
Archived baseline
Saved baseline montage before the continuous-camera exploration.
