Девять теневых картин — approved · now in motion
Развитие человека как маленький теневой спектакль: одна клетка, девять месяцев внутри, первый вдох, детство, подростковый шторм и выпускной. Финальная анимация уже готова — 27 секунд с лампой, резной кожей, нитями и живым звуком без диктора. Ниже сохранена утверждённая раскадровка: те же кадры стали ключевыми позами фильма.

The story is a general, symbolic overview — not a medical guide. Ages and milestones vary widely between people, families and countries. These are the specific framing choices and numbers the board relies on.
The piece covers conception → graduation only, as requested, and holds the final line for roughly one second. It is an overview, not a week-by-week catalogue.
Each gamete contributes 23 chromosomes; the zygote has 46. The egg, sperm and their cut-work are deliberately stylised and not to scale.
Pregnancy is shown as about 40 weeks using the common obstetric convention counted from the last menstrual period; birth normally occurs in a wider term window.
Embryonic development is generally counted through the end of week 8; from week 9 the term fetus is used. The fetus illustration is symbolic, not a portrait at exact scale.
I use ≈ 3–3,5 kg as a typical range. Healthy newborn weights vary substantially; the panel is not a clinical percentile or a universal target.
By around five years the brain is roughly 90% of adult volume. Experience shapes neural connections throughout life; later change is not “finished” at five.
Puberty commonly begins somewhere around 8–14 years, with wide normal variation and average timing differences between girls and boys. The copy says “начало”, not a deadline.
The final number assumes school completion around 18 and a four-year bachelor's programme. Specialist degrees, gaps, part-time study and other paths can finish earlier or later.
On-screen copy is Russian. The supplied Latin fonts are loaded, with PT Serif added because IM Fell and Libre Baskerville have no Cyrillic. Story headlines are 44–66 px, labels 28–40 px and key numbers 68–148 px. Sound cues use only the supplied synth kit; the mix is effects over quiet lamp and room tone.
No panel implies that an embryo “is” a fetus at conception, that brain development stops at five, or that everyone reaches the same milestone at the same age. The 9-week terminology change and prefrontal maturation into the mid-20s are the two distinctions most important to keep clear in the final copy.
The viewer's own family, culture, health, school system and gender are not assumed. Where development differs — birth timing, first steps, puberty, graduation age — the board uses ≈ and range language rather than a single “normal” biography.
