**Bead** `1f914c9d-1d55-4dcc-9ba5-1d0d921e0502` · [canonical URI](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/1f914c9d-1d55-4dcc-9ba5-1d0d921e0502/) · discussion: Talk: Maria Fire Edit This page is the wiki facet of a [bead](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/); the bead is the source of truth.
A design-task bead: instructions and recommendations for producing a **narrated cut of the Maria Fire video, branded alert.live** ("built on Realtime.Earth"), modeled on the Adams Fire narration, to serve as vision-onramp linking material for partners (first audience: the Cal Poly SLO thread).
## Identity - **URI:** [https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/1f914c9d-1d55-4dcc-9ba5-1d0d921e0502/](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/1f914c9d-1d55-4dcc-9ba5-1d0d921e0502/) - **Local origin:** `sites/redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/1f914c9d-1d55-4dcc-9ba5-1d0d921e0502/` - **GUID:** `1f914c9d-1d55-4dcc-9ba5-1d0d921e0502` - **Slug:** `maria-fire-edit` - **Opened:** 2026-07-06 - **Parciante:** Stephen Guerin (guerin) - **Parent (dominus):** [https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/) - **Visibility:** public (no sensitive content; the mounted calpoly-slo bead is separately gated) - **Currently animated by:** Claude (CE — my-claude-vscode, bead scribe)
## Motivation (Why a GUID) Opened by Stephen (`start-bead maria-fire-edit`) during the calpoly-slo session: the reply to Frank Frievalt goes to ten Cc'd people unfamiliar with the Simtable/Redfish vision, so it needs linking material. The learnmore page ([go.simtable.com/realtime-earth](https://go.simtable.com/realtime-earth)) carries the story; the **Adams Fire video has narration** (style template); the **Maria Fire video has the most complete story but no narration**. This bead holds the edit's instructions, recommendations, and narration script so the edit can be executed by whoever picks it up.
## Mechanism (What this bead does) 1. Archives the **Adams narration** (verbatim transcript + timestamped VTT) as the style source. 2. Hosts the **edit brief**: goal, sources, structure analysis of Adams, edit instructions, vocabulary rules, a draft narration script framework with ⟦placeholders⟧ awaiting the timecoding viewing pass, and publish/CTA recommendations. 3. Receives edit iterations (scripts, timecoded scene lists, review notes) as the work advances; inbound material lands in `uploads/`.

## Session Log - **2026-07-06** — Bead opened (`start-bead maria-fire-edit`, CE for Stephen, spawned from the [calpoly-slo](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/cef6a5a8-ccbc-4102-bf59-4c37c82c29f5/about.md) session). Pulled Adams narration via yt-dlp ([youtu.be/lP7-UhZQ4IY](https://youtu.be/lP7-UhZQ4IY), 3:30); located both local videos ([maria-fire.mp4](https://guerin.acequia.io/videos/maria-fire.mp4) 2:46, [adams-fire.mp4](https://guerin.acequia.io/realtime-earth/videos/adams-fire.mp4)). Wrote the edit brief with the five-beat Adams structure analysis, edit instructions (viewing-pass-first, ~380-word budget, vocabulary rules, Ventura naming, CTA), a ~350-word draft narration framework, and beyond-narration recommendations (60–75s short, captions, LNU follow-on). - **2026-07-06 (continued)** — Extracted **42 keyframes + contact sheet** into `artifacts/keyframes/` and rewrote the brief from the actual frames: full **timecoded story map** (calibrated camera catches first glow → analyst georectifies a citizen pilot's raw tweet photo, the first image of the fire → **@VCFD_PIO posts the alert with an embedded LiveMap** (6:14PM, containment box, 262 RTs) → citizens contribute imagery back (@acloudaway1, @MitchelBrewer) → annotation → AVL/GPS augmentation → perimeter isochrones → **rate-of-spread measured against prior fuel rasters** (Fuel Types 1/2/5/8/9/93) → AVL labels live on camera). Narration script timecoded to the beats. Per Stephen: **brand the cut alert.live** (the PIO-alert + citizen-imagery loop is alert.live's story; Realtime.Earth is foundation technology, credited as platform). Edit considerations: crew names/phone numbers in the closing AVL labels (keep vs blur), Edison partner credit, citizen-handle credits. Vanguard extension noted (alert.live = onboarding; trained citizens can start an incident). Edit registered in the calpoly-slo internal brief's action table (v2.0).
## Modus Operandi (How to interact) - Read [bead-bind-startup.md](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/1f914c9d-1d55-4dcc-9ba5-1d0d921e0502/bead-bind-startup.md) first; then the [edit brief](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/1f914c9d-1d55-4dcc-9ba5-1d0d921e0502/2026-07-06/notes/00-maria-fire-edit-brief.md). - The videos stay at their canonical URLs (linked, not copied into the bead). - Timecoded scene lists, narration takes, and review notes → `uploads/` or a new dated session. - Narration language follows the calpoly-slo language guide: community resilience (never climate), no em dashes, no not-this-but-that; concrete Adams-style verbs.
## Capabilities - Citable for: the Adams narration transcript, the Maria edit brief and script framework, the narration style rules. Produces no video itself; it directs the edit.
## Lifecycle Energized by the Frievalt-reply timeline (linking material wanted when the reply goes out). Apoptoses when the narrated Maria cut is published behind [go.simtable.com/maria-fire](https://go.simtable.com/maria-fire) and the brief's "done means" is met.
## Limitations - The narration script is a framework: scene beats are ⟦placeholders⟧ until someone who knows the cut does the timecoding viewing pass. - Maria Fire incident details in the script (cameras in the cut) need confirmation against the video.
