Stop-motion puppet animation, 12fps, Steve Burton claymation style, handcrafted aesthetic, frame-by-frame jerky movement, visible clay textures and wool fibers, rich saturated colors, warm amber ceiling light and soft window light, 1990s Soviet apartment living room. CAMERA: slow smooth dolly moving forward into the room, toward the left side where Mom is standing — the camera moves approximately 10cm forward over the 5 seconds, shifting from a wide shot of the room to a closer view of Mom and Girl. As Mom exits, the camera pans slightly left following her movement, then holds. No shake, no handheld, no micro-jitter. ACTION: Mom stands on the left, facing Girl on the sofa. Mom leans down, places her hand on the girl's shoulder briefly. Her lips move — she speaks a quiet warning. Her expression is tired but firm. She straightens up, turns toward the door on the left. She walks to the door in 4 distinct stop-motion steps — her plum coat swaying, her boots clicking on the linoleum. She reaches the door, her hand with brass keys reaches for the handle. She glances back at the girl one last time — a look of worry. She opens the door — a sliver of bright hallway light spills in. She steps through, pulls the door closed behind her. THE DOOR CLICKS SHUT — the sound is implied by a subtle vibration of the door frame. The hallway light disappears. The room feels slightly darker. The girl remains on the sofa, her gaze fixed on the closed door for a moment, then slowly shifts toward the radio on the sideboard — head turns in 3 small increments. The radio sits dark and silent, a faint unnatural shadow pooling beneath it. Dust motes drift in the light beam. Final second: hold on girl looking at radio, expression shifting from defiance to curiosity mixed with unease. Film grain, subtle frame-to-frame light flicker. NO GHOSTS, NO ORBS, NO SUPERNATURAL ELEMENTS.
