ABOUT THE ORIGINALS & RECORDING DATES

All 18 supplied photographs are included once, in filename timestamp order. The filenames identify April 7, 2016. Images shown here are optimized display copies; the source JPEGs are preserved unchanged.

Both supplied videos are included in their original 16:9 proportions, with full-length optimized playback copies. Their embedded creation metadata identifies July 14, 2016. That may reflect export rather than filming: their relationship to the April meeting has not been inferred. They are presented as accompanying supplied recordings, not dated April footage.

Benny’s narration is the exact original edskid.wav recording: 1:32.019, with no trimming, processing, rewriting or replacement. Audio and video never autoplay.

The opening thought was supplied by Benny with the creative brief. No transcript or additional quoted dialogue has been invented.
