Eagle

Bruin

Brentwood High

Two schools, one road. Granny White Pike runs between them, and the last Friday in August is the night it gets settled.

This was the first one. Everything since has been cut to its shape — the cold open with no title, the flash cuts, the drop at 11.8 seconds.

The Battle of Granny White

Two schools on one road. The reference cut for everything that came after.

Eagle vs. Bruin

The one that travelled. Made before any of this had a name.

Take

Test clip, take one

The first of four eight-second motion tests before there was a reel at all. Only one camera move survived into the cut.

Test clip, take four

Same prompt, fourth roll. Different eagle every time — which is the problem these tests were finding out about.

One thing we learned

No title sequence. The first frame has to already be interesting — the cold open is beak to beak with no text for two seconds, and that's where the music drop lands later.
