Description : |

It is possible that there is a missing clip here. But the original film most likely has a cut here, with just the end of the word "facility" missing.

Context : |
Alvar Hanso's orientation film history speech. | |
Description : |
A man in a white lab coat takes a pen to write underneath the already written "The Valenzetti Equation" on a board. | |

Alvar Hanso- "His results are chilling, and attention must be paid." | |
Context : |
Alvar Hanso talking in his orientation film. | |
Description : |
Opens on a medium close-up of Alvar Hanso with the right side of his face covered in light and the left one redder than normal. His lips are slightly open and he has a weird look. Immediately, a weird sound is heard and the image changes to an extreme close-up of the left side of Alvar Hanso's face. He says the first half of his sentence, then image cuts to another plan at medium close-up where he says the second. | |
Continuity : |
Although there is an audio anomaly, visually it lines up with CHOCOLATES. |
There are clear cuts, edits and bugs in this segment, showing that this orientation film can't realistically be expected to be more complete than the known ones in the end...
