Kiwi feeding footage is a dedicated, normal-speed wide-to-close scene using original source intervals 19–24 and 45–50.5 seconds, locally graded and reframed. The stoat-and-egg photograph receives a stable crop and local visibility correction. Egg identity and locality are not asserted. Recorded environmental audio is edited into a continuous designed soundscape; it is not presented as synchronous location sound.

PASS 002 source additions and adaptations

• Gorse — Andy Rogers, Gorse-Ulex europaeus.jpg, CC BY-SA 2.0. Cropped, resized and overlaid with the accepted red X; the adapted contribution is shared under the same licence. The source photograph was taken on the Isle of Man and is used as representative species imagery.
• DOC-COM-008 — James Stanbridge / Source: Department of Conservation (NZ), communities in conservation photo index, CC BY 4.0; cropped and graded.
• Working river and open hill-country photographs (EXG-P1-02 and EXG-P1-01) — project-owner supplied Parcel 1 photography, authorised for NZ Ex Game(s) cinematic and website use; cropped and graded.
• Trap/impact cue — bsmacbride, Snap Trap.wav, CC0; edited, with a filtered editorial impact for gorse.

The accepted 114.5-second film alternates existing intervention imagery with pest/X treatments. Landscape and recovery relationships are representative editorial montage, not a documented before/after of one location. The accepted red-X wordmark is project-supplied identity artwork. PASS 002 is reproduced byte-for-byte from its human-accepted freeze; deferred closing-letter polish is not applied.
