ONE CONTINUOUS UNBROKEN SHOT — NO CUT, NO CROSSFADE, NO RETURN TO SUBJECT. Frame 1 (1 sec): subject visible on the left side of frame, body completely still. Then the camera SUDDENLY swings rapidly to the RIGHT, creating massive horizontal motion blur for 1 second — the entire frame becomes streaks of color. After the rapid swing settles, the camera ENDS pointed at a DIFFERENT part of the courtyard showing a hanging paper lantern. The subject does NOT reappear — the shot ends on the lantern. NO morph back to the subject, NO crossfade, the camera physically swung away and stays away. Single take with motion-blurred whip transition mid-shot.
