Description
This pull request proposes merging an ambient soundscape layer I created as a derivative of "Neon Requiem".
The fork adds:
- A continuous 5-minute ambient audio bed synthesized from dialogue tones
- Subtly modified color grading in acts 2 and 3 to complement the new audio mood
- Two additional B-roll shots sourced under CC0 license
All changes are additive — no original footage has been altered or removed. Revenue split set at 30% to original creator per the fork agreement.

The ambient layer sounds great in the first act. Could you try pulling the 40Hz drone back slightly in the corridor scene? It competes with the dialogue.

Good call — I have dropped it to -22dB and added a 200ms fade-in before the dialogue line. Let me know if that works.

The B-roll insert at 3s feels slightly abrupt. A 10-frame dissolve would smooth it out considerably.
