How it was directed

Kevin's notes on the films set fixed corners for the GT mark and the a16z lockup, asked for the company name and the round to appear, asked for a smaller globe and asked to try the glyph backgrounds without boxes.

A names lane and a wall lane each built three takes, three judges ranked them, and each lane finished its top three in both formats.

What was made

In progress. At 14:38 the finals folders held three names graphics and three founders logo walls, each in 4:5 and 1600x900, and the nine v1f films recut with the a16z infra lockup.
