Briefs we tested this kit with
- "A day before clocks" (10 s opener). Wide valley at dawn, a family crossing under a title plate; cut to a dusk camp with two pinned labels (HEARTH, HIDE TUNIC); end on a study desk with an index card, a three-part bar (fire / food / stories) and a FIELD NOTE stamp. This is `templates/film.js`.
- "How a village stayed warm" (20 s explainer). Soil section with `strata()` and a label per layer, a hut with a cut-away `callout()` of the hearth, a barStrip of firewood hours per week, stamp "ESTIMATE". Shots: wide hut, callout insert, desk stat plate.
- "The long walk to water" (15 s story). Three `folk()` carrying baskets along the hills with a slow tracking camera (`push`), a deer lifting its head (`alert`), scaleBar "1 KM", a closing chip with the hours. Dusk grade on the last shot.
