Make it yours
- Keep the two ship names to one short word each, as written; short words in text are the easiest for the model to render legibly.
- For 15 seconds keep segments 1, 3 and 5 and scale the time ranges to 0-5s, 5-10s, 10-15s.
- The 'no extra characters beyond the woman, the boy and crew silhouettes' constraint prevents crowd drift; keep it.
