A chase works before anyone moves. Give the frame a hot red ground, put a gold plaque at the edge of the action, and reserve one bright burst for the instant when confidence meets a wall. The joke arrives as composition.
Make the impact legible
Our rule is timing made visible. Let the runner cut along a clean diagonal; keep the ink contour fat enough to read at a glance; then leave a beat of quiet before the next SNAP. When every color is flat and every shadow lands hard, the frame feels alive without becoming noisy.
