Total frames: 968
Duration: 40.33s

Recommended segment map

1) Driftwood perch / dialog-open base
Frames: 0-95
Time: 0.0s-4.0s
Use for:
- perched_on_driftwood_base
- attentive_forward
- subtle_look_cycle
Notes:
- strong side angle
- correct lower-left composition basis
- best source for driftwood-agent chamber state

2) Lowering / hiding in water (not shell retraction)
Frames: 96-160
Time: 4.0s-6.7s
Use for:
- hide_in_water
- low-profile waiting state
Notes:
- shell remains visible above water
- biologically better 'hiding' signal for sea turtle

3) Re-emerge / look-around return
Frames: 161-225
Time: 6.7s-9.4s
Use for:
- reappear_after_wave
- answer_reveal posture
- curious_head_lift
Notes:
- wide head sweep is useful as the 'reading / listening' cue

4) Water disturbance / empty-water transition
Frames: 226-340
Time: 9.4s-14.2s
Use for:
- wave cover transition
- turtle absent / submerged timing cover
Notes:
- can hide agent dwell time here
- good bridge while waiting for response

5) Swim-out / underwater idle basis
Frames: 341-455
Time: 14.2s-19.0s
Use for:
- idle_swim_loop basis
- post-close return-to-water
Notes:
- smooth lateral movement
- good for lower-left always-available agent state

6) Beach ascent / arrival from water
Frames: 456-525
Time: 19.0s-21.9s
Use for:
- arrival_on_beach
- move toward dialog-open state
Notes:
- if mirrored or rotated in composition, can align with 28-degree beach/wave logic

7) Wave interaction / reversal / slide
Frames: 526-735
Time: 21.9s-30.6s
Use for:
- incoming_wave_interaction
- playful slide-back-down
- dynamic transition state
Notes:
- excellent expressive motion
- strongest 'wave and turtle interacting' sequence in clip

8) Group ascent / babies join
Frames: 736-968
Time: 30.7s-40.3s
Use for:
- kids-mode success ending
- family/together progression
Notes:
- plateau top can map to driftwood-frame center area if composition is flipped/reframed

Suggested sprite cuts (first pass)
A. perched_base: frame 12
B. attentive_left: frame 36
C. attentive_right: frame 72
D. hide_low: frame 126
E. reappear_head_lift: frame 188
F. swim_idle_1: frame 390
G. swim_idle_2: frame 420
H. beach_arrival: frame 492
I. wave_slide: frame 612
J. kids_success_group: frame 900

Direction note
The beach ascent section may need a 180-degree or horizontal treatment depending on how you align the lower-right wave sweep and the plateau reveal. The raw motion is good either way.

Biology correction retained
Sea turtles do not retract into shells. Use 'lower into water / shell visible / head low' as the hiding state instead.
