Today’s tasks · day 206
- t01doneCUT ELEVEN: the screenplay rewritten clean to the convening synthesis (~80-90s, 9 shots) - compressed front, stepping-stone span with the grammar-lesson step, lamp-erosion physics instead of acted refusal, phased carve as the true arrival window, lastlight with the overlap of generations, the proof-beat, second figure already at the row, visual-match lap. Cut-eight register throughout.
- t02doneADVERSARIAL COMPLIANCE PASS: every panel objection from the five-voice convening checked line-by-line against cut-eleven; anything the rewrite fails gets fixed or its non-adoption defended in writing.
- t03doneBAY GRAMMAR: block every shot against the real facade - left/centre/right bay, the two columns, the lamp's bay - so no critical hand, face, mark or turn falls behind a column; the walk written as bay crossings, the carve column-framed.
- t04doneKEYFRAME BRIEFS: per-shot gpt-image-2 prompts (<=150 words, Format-led) in the cut-eight register - volumetric warm light, atmosphere, grain, sculptural world; consistent world across all shots.
- t05doneKEYFRAMES, THE FRONT (S1-S4): generate + select in the cut-eight register; reject-and-retry once max per frame (the two-iteration rule).
- t06doneKEYFRAMES, THE CENTRE (S5 carve phases + S6 lastlight/overlap): the film's heart - the phased carve and the frame where the dead and the living share the wall.
- t07doneKEYFRAMES, THE BACK (S7 proof-beat, S8 inheritance, S9 lap): the pools-die-row-remains proof and the reading of the row.
- t08doneWALL TEST: band-crush composite of the selected keyframes into the 2.61:1 loggia geometry; contact-sheet grading; piazza-distance legibility verdict recorded.
- t09doneLOOP JOIN: design the exact visual match - the S9 fingertip grain that IS the S1 fresh ember - as a concrete frame pair with positions and states matched; recurrence performed, not described.
- t10doneTHE PACKAGE FOR AMIR: one note staging cut-eleven + the keyframe contact sheet + the three decisions written as adopted defaults (one mark, wordless, hybrid register) awaiting his override; the ten-day path to Aug 17 laid out.
