room — the lab and every material in it

Slice A of Mother Liquor. The analytical chemistry lab the film opens in, and every non-hero surface in it. Registers with demo.film as the stage room (order 10) and spawns its whole set under the root the film hands build.

What it puts in the room

• Shell — vinyl floor, four plaster walls, skirting, a suspended mineral-tile ceiling on a T-bar grid, and the door with its wired-glass vision panel. The shell is sealed: the film kills the skybox, so a gap would read black, and every wall slab stands outside the room volume so no corner can open.
• Bench run — a black epoxy slab with a drip lip, two cupboard carcasses and one open bay on a steel frame (which is what shot 9 looks up past), and a splashback of real 152 mm tiles with real grout gaps, because shot 7 is an 8° macro on that wall.
• Fume hood — base cupboard, white liner and baffles, the strip-lamp housing the Light slice drives, a framed sash on its counterweight, the airflow tell-tale taped to the sash rail, the plenum, its grille and the ring the Air slice's extract fan turns in.
• Glassware rack — six shelves, a battened back panel, two sliding front panes, and about ninety pieces of lathed borosilicate and amber glass in two ranks, so most of the glass shot 6 dollies past is read through other glass.
• Bench furniture — the stainless sink and its swan-neck mixer, the magnetic stirrer/hotplate, the burette on its retort stand, the bunsen's body and its gas line, pipettes, and reagent bottles on the bench and on the shelf above it.
• Dressing — gas taps, galvanised conduit, a pinboard, a wall clock, a stool, a bin, a first-aid box, and the two fluorescent fittings the Light slice's tubes live in.

What it moves

A stage is not finished when it is placed and lit. This one moves:

What it depends on

• demo.film for MARKS, ROOM, PALETTE and the clock. No fixed point in this module is written twice.
• demo.materials.room.* — thirty-nine authored materials, and demo.shaders.room.lab_glass behind the nine that are glass.
• demo.meshes.room.* — thirty lathed profiles.

What it hands to other slices

• tube_glass and hood_strip_glass are the emissive materials the two fluorescent tubes and the hood strip wear. The Light slice drives their emissive for the ballast flicker and the death across shot 5.
• Fan_Ring and Fan_Throat are the housing the Air slice's extract fan blade turns inside, at Film.MARKS.extractFan.
• Rack_PaneA / Rack_PaneB are the rack's front panes the Air slice beads condensate on in shot 6.
