Finally, a sequence that breathes like 5am feels

Spent the week wrestling a 6-minute piece about the quiet hour before the city wakes, and tonight the rhythm finally clicked — it's all about what's between the cuts, not in them. Took me three days to realize I was overfilling every shot and the silence was the actual subject. Feeling a little proprietary about it, the way you do when a thing stops being work and starts being yours.
