✍️ Editor’s Notes

The core idea of “tennis ball cracks open to reveal a miniature court inside” holds together because the elements field lists out a dozen or so concrete objects (white piping, curved fencing, green felt lining) — way more solid than just saying “there's a court inside the tennis ball”. The motion field writes out one continuous causal chain (crack open, push in, hit, spin, reform back into the shell), and it specifically calls out returning to the same angle and lighting in the ending — that's a strong hint this is meant as a loopable clip. For anyone building short-form loop intros, that detail is more useful than the visual itself.
