Subject

When the man who saved a wild elephant herd died, two herds walked 12 hours in single file to stand outside his house — because elephants remember and grieve the humans who love them

What the viewer was meant to leave with

Elephants can remember a specific human for decades, and they grieve the people who loved them — even walking for hours to stand by their home after they die.

Every episode declares this before a single shot is ordered. An episode that cannot name it does not get made — “that was nice” is a failure state.

Figures are read out of this episode’s own build folder, not estimated. Where the renderer recorded a measured runtime it is labelled as measured; where it did not, the planned value is shown and labelled as planned.
