The camera rises while orbiting the man by about 120°, height and angle changing together. In the middle of an abandoned factory, a man crouches and lights a cigarette, the flame briefly lighting his face. The camera lifts and circles to his side, revealing a faded chalk circle drawn on the floor at his feet. He exhales smoke and says, “This is the place.” 6 seconds, rise and orbit smoothly in sync, the man always in frame, no spinning, no blur.
