Home hero video: credits
predicated-hero-16x9.mp4 and predicated-hero-4x5.mp4 are an 18-second silent loop cut from five clips, all downloaded from Wikimedia Commons on 12 October 2026. They were trimmed, cropped, crossfaded and lightly graded. The two text cards are our own. No clip is altered beyond that. No identifiable faces and no prominent brands.
