This study publishes no scores until every preregistered run is complete, both blinded raters have scored every output, and two reviewers have signed off. When that happens the summary tables and the full raw run data will appear here — including failure rates and rater disagreement, not just the winning numbers.

1. 01Keep the person recognizable while they blink once and turn their head slightly toward the window; locked camera, subtle natural movement.
2. 02Preserve the product shape and label-free surface while the camera makes a slow 10-degree orbit from left to right; reflections remain coherent.
3. 03Animate only the ocean surface and distant clouds; keep the foreground observatory and camera completely stable.
4. 04The adult subject takes two natural steps toward camera while clothing moves gently in the wind; preserve face, body proportions, and background.
5. 05Open the gift box lid slowly with both hands and pause at the reveal; preserve the box geometry and every visible finger.
6. 06Create a gentle push-in toward the plated food while steam rises continuously; do not change the ingredients or plate arrangement.
7. 07Move from the supplied opening room composition to the supplied ending composition with one smooth lateral camera slide; preserve all furniture.
8. 08The ceramic artist lifts one finished cup and turns it slightly toward camera; preserve identity, hand count, cup shape, and workshop layout.
9. 09Animate a slow clockwise half rotation of the watch while the pedestal and background remain fixed; maintain exact metal geometry.
10. 10Add a light breeze to hair and fabric while the portrait subject remains otherwise still; preserve facial features and camera framing.
11. 11The train advances slowly along the existing track and stops before the frame edge; preserve station architecture and track alignment.
12. 12Create one slow rack focus from the foreground bottle to the background bottle; no object movement and no camera translation.
13. 13The dog looks toward frame left and wags its tail twice; preserve coat pattern, leg count, and the grassy environment.
14. 14Animate only the candle flames and their reflections; keep every candle, table object, and camera position unchanged.
15. 15The dancer raises both arms and completes one controlled quarter turn; preserve identity, limb count, costume, and studio mirrors.
16. 16Create a slow vertical camera rise above the city rooftop while the adult subject remains centered and recognizable.
17. 17The paper boat drifts a short distance forward while rain ripples appear around it; preserve boat color, fold geometry, and puddle boundaries.
18. 18The sneaker descends gently onto the plinth while one light sweep moves across it; preserve sole shape, material, and background.
19. 19The adult chef adds one garnish with the right hand and withdraws the hand; preserve plate contents, face, and kitchen surfaces.
20. 20Move from the start frame to the supplied end frame with one continuous forward dolly; no cuts, no new objects, and no typography.
