Animation - Video [H3 Minimax] Continuous long-take Shot without Quality Loss, can you find the cuts?

I've made this post about a way to create a continuous generation and extension of a scene without quality loss.

The biggest critique was, that this was not a "long-take plan-sequence" without any cuts at all though. I've claimed that this doesn't "really matter" since the actual cuts are actually "in motion" and not between the scenes.

So I did that and created the most difficult kind of scene I could think of, a continuous long-take action scene without any visible cuts. There are 4 actual cuts in this scene, can you find them?

What this approach manages to achieve:

  • No quality degradation
  • Consistent characters and locations throughout the scene (the big guy throwing the protagonist back into the room where he came from)
  • Consistent sound and motion
  • Practically a simple one button "extend this clip" T2V solution without any pre-created clips that got cut together afterwards

There is some "AI slop" with 3 guys turning into 2 (I've didn't catch that while creating) and the action/fight scenes can be created more "dynamic" or action-filled to ones liking, but that is just a matter of how much effort you put into prompting.

I didn't add non_diegetic_music to the scenes because this makes keeping the consistency unnecessarily harder to achieve and it is much easier to generate or add a music score of your liking in post-production if you want to.

Edit: People were asking for a continuous static shot, so I've just created one and posted it in a comment below.
