# Our Hemel, Our Stories — title sting 04
29 October 2026. Eight seconds total, 1920 × 1080, 25fps. For creative review.

## Timing revision
The imagery, source order and approved title design are unchanged. The estate opener remains removed; the High Street opens the sting.

**0–3 seconds:** the same forty-nine montage image beats accelerate through progressively shorter holds. The first image lasts five frames; subsequent holds last four, three, two and finally one frame. Their combined length is exactly 75 frames (three seconds). There are no added black/white flash frames; the existing broad exposure matching and blended joins are retained.

**3–8 seconds:** the final 1795 view of The Bury holds for exactly five seconds. The title enters during the first second of this section. The bottom-right True Corner triangle has its own small rotation and slide into the approved resting position, then remains still. The end image itself holds steady. The title is **Our Hemel, Our Stories**.

There are fifty image shots in all: forty-six source images and four identified detail crops. No image has been added or replaced for this revision. Recent scenes are not passed off as old archive; the 1996 High Street retains its documented date, and genuinely undated postcards remain undated. The 1958 scene is a rail tour rather than New Town construction. Exact source records and timings are in the CSV and JSON edit lists.

## Brand and sound
The existing True Corner Bold/ExtraBold typography, amber-to-red gradient, corner mark and dark plate are retained, together with the Dacorum-blue treatment. All music and sound effects have been removed. The MP4 contains no audio track. Nothing autoplays.

## Source rights and handoff
Retrieved source renditions are unchanged in `sources/`. Several fast montage images use the cached preview rendition supplied by the source; the opener and held final print retain the existing high-resolution files. No generated detail or restoration is implied. Some source previews may need higher-resolution replacements for final delivery.

Keep the credits and applicable Creative Commons attribution/share-alike conditions with adapted imagery. These are not unrestricted buyout assets. Public-domain and no-known-restriction records are identified separately. True Corner brand assets retain their existing ownership/reuse terms; no museum endorsement is implied.

No paid generation, new source research or credit spend was used for this timing revision. The partnership deck and paused DeeVid work remain unchanged.
