Hero film: five original clips made with Grok Imagine (text-to-video, 8 seconds each). They show a giant boulder with a dugout door at sunrise, a white dome at dusk, a hand-dug mine tunnel, salt flats at blue hour in the style of Death Valley, and a canyon campfire under the Milky Way. The clips are joined with one-second crossfades into a 35-second silent loop. The footage is AI-generated, not stock or archival, and shows no real person’s likeness.
