Footage → Blueprint, and the GOAT trio.

Two modes of one component. The dissolve traces a single real forehand from footage into the drawing; the trio lays all three on one clock, contact pinned together.

FIG. P-1 — Footage → pose tracking (19 landmarks) + racquet + ball detection → the blueprint, with the site’s drawn racquet seated on the real one. Nadal is drawn left-handed, as he plays.

s 0.00 · APPROACH

FIG. P-2 — Three forehands on one clock: each swing time-warped so contact lands together at s=0.62, each body scaled to a common torso and pinned at the hips. Federer (ink), Nadal (cobalt), Djokovic (periwinkle).

03 · Muybridge plates

The swing, lifted whole. Each forehand matted out of the footage and set down as twelve photographic instants on the blueprint grid — the frame we ring is contact.
