# Episode 01 — Four Timmy Mutations
|
|
|
|
A deterministic 27-second vertical pilot showing one Timmy transformed by four pressures:
|
|
|
|
1. **Wizard** — ambiguity turns context into a spell (`W-01`).
|
|
2. **Machine** — repeatability makes the path exact (`M-02`).
|
|
3. **Creature** — hunger preserves instinct as signal (`C-03`).
|
|
4. **Talking Turd** — ridicule metabolizes shame into a punchline (`T-04`).
|
|
|
|
Each section visibly names its pressure and ends in a memory receipt. The receipt roll connects the four mutations back to one pilot, followed by the choice: **WHICH TIMMY GETS TO REMEMBER THIS?**
|

|
## Artifacts
|
|
|
|
- [`episode01-four-timmy-mutations.mp4`](episode01-four-timmy-mutations.mp4) — delivery master
|
|
- [`episode01-contact-sheet.jpg`](episode01-contact-sheet.jpg) — representative frames for quick review
|
|
- [`build_episode01.py`](build_episode01.py) — deterministic visual and soundtrack generator
|
|
|
|
The soundtrack is original and sample-free: the script synthesizes its 120 BPM kick/snare/hat rhythm, section motifs, and final chord from oscillators and seeded noise.
|
|
|
|
## Rebuild
|
|
|
|
Requires Python 3, Pillow, NumPy, FFmpeg, and the DejaVu fonts.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 media/episode01/build_episode01.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Verification
|
|
|
|
Verified on the committed MP4:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
container: MP4
|
|
video: H.264, 720x1280 (9:16), yuv420p, 30 fps
|
|
sound: AAC, 48 kHz, mono
|
|
length: 27.000000 seconds
|
|
full decode: pass (ffmpeg -v error ... -f null -)

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Re-run the structural/decode checks with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration:stream=codec_name,codec_type,width,height,pix_fmt,r_frame_rate,sample_rate,channels -of json media/episode01/episode01-four-timmy-mutations.mp4
|
|
ffmpeg -v error -i media/episode01/episode01-four-timmy-mutations.mp4 -f null -
