A blank page invites a panel drawn too large, and then there is nowhere left on the sheet for the line of dialogue or the shot number that has to sit next to it. This page is split before you start: a frame at the top for the drawing, ruled lines below it at a 4.94 millimetre pitch for everything the drawing cannot carry on its own.

Thirty-five lines of that ruling run under each frame, enough for a shot description, a duration, and a line of dialogue without crowding any of them into the margin. One hundred and ten pages are built this way, one frame and its notes per page, so a sequence runs forward through the book in the same order it is meant to play out.

The frame is not big enough for a finished drawing and was never meant to be. It is big enough to remember what happens in it before the next one starts.

What is inside

Split pages: 110pp; A frame at the top, ruled lines below at 4.94 mm, thirty-five rows to the page.
Reference: 10pp; Owner page, conversion tables computed from definitions, and emergency numbers checked against two independent sources.

In every book

The same six pages open every book: your details, who to call, the signs to point at when you have no shared language, and the map. They sit at the front because the moment you need them is not the moment to be flicking through.

This book belongs to: One page for your name and number, so a book that goes missing can come back.
My details: Blood group, allergies, who to call. Written once, carried everywhere.
Emergency numbers: Forty countries, taken from Wikidata property P2852 (CC0), agreed across two sources, every row carrying its QID. Numbers change and a book does not — verify locally on arrival.
Point at this: A pictogram grid captioned in English above and Indonesian below, for when there is no shared language.
World map: Natural Earth 110m, public domain, equirectangular, with UTC hour meridians computed from the projection rather than from a timezone database. For orientation and for pointing at, not a navigation chart.
Conversion tables: Computed from definitions — 25.4 mm to the inch — and not copied from anywhere, so every row can be checked by anyone holding the book.
Pen test leaf: The last page, printed for it on purpose. Every notebook is used this way; printing it deliberately is cheaper than losing the last leaf to it by accident.

The film

Page by page

A vertical film, 52 seconds: the cover, the ruling page, then 5 reference pages. Synthesised ambient bed, no dialogue — captions in three languages.

A vertical film from our own bench — this page contacts nobody's server to play it, and downloads nothing until you press play.
