K–Pg cinema — camera dive, then a Hollywood-adjacent strike (#86 / #210) - #209
Conversation
True-scale 10 km inbound to the Yucatán on the Earth pack. The playhead is distance, not a chart; the flash and dust veil are labelled schematic.

Keep the fire orange instead of a white wash, draw a soot plume, and throw schematic rocks around the globe. Fallout is a spreading dust cap, not hydro.

Extend the film through a cinema-compressed aftermath. Earth turns from the open, the camera stays on Yucatán for the inbound hit, and land stays brown until late recovery.
Resize the gallery encode from 640 to 560 so the 36s aftermath film can ship on the branch.
The GIF path does not cut to these stills. Keep the Late Cretaceous color and cloud maps.
…ach (#210) The extra UV test at APPROACH_END+8 failed because the rock is still ~20,000 km out and off-frame. Assert it at IMPACT-1 instead, where the slam is in the shot.
…ts (#210) Custom output directories now keep gallery GIFs under that root. The renderer reads contact from the job frames, drops the unused tsunami shock-gate nodes, and deletes unused spin/still aliases.
Keep the inbound daylit, drop the leading soot banner, park the tsunami ring off the limb, and let recovery show barren land before it re-greens. Gallery GIFs are the new light and dark encodes.

Closes #86.
Closes #210.
Stay on Earth. The playhead is inbound distance, not a chart. A 10 km rock is a speck against a 12,742 km planet, so the camera dives until that is the point. Contact is Hollywood-adjacent and still labelled schematic: ember fireball, soot, a 45° curtain, ballistic ejecta around the globe, then a spreading fallout cap.
