C/01 Continuity MISE

The face has to survive the whole film.

Continuity is the difference between footage and a film. MISE treats a character's identity and a picture's grade as records the pipeline is bound by, not as prompt text that gets re-rolled on every render. This page is the evidence, not the claim.

01

A lock is a record, not a phrase

A locked reference gets an immutable ID and a home on the character record. Every downstream job — frames, motion, a re-render six weeks later — reads that record. There is no path through the pipeline that skips it.

02

Conformance is scored, not assumed

Every rendered shot is scored against its reference. Anything below threshold never reaches the contact sheet; it lands in a review queue with the original prompt intact, ready to re-run.

03

Re-locking tells you the damage

Change a reference and MISE reports exactly how many shots are now out of date before it commits. You re-render them in one pass instead of finding the mismatches in an edit suite three weeks later.

03 Continuity test THE LONG COUNT · R01

One reference. Eight impossible set-ups. The same performer.

Every frame below was generated from the single casting reference on the left — different location, different source, different focal length, from a 21 mm warehouse wide to a 135 mm long lens on the causeway. Nothing was retouched and no frame was cherry-picked. Change the reference and watch all eight re-render.

C/05 Look bible LC-BLEACH-04

One negative, two hundred shots.

The bible is declared once and applied while each frame is made, not painted on in post. That is why the grade holds in the shadows, where a LUT dropped on top of a finished frame falls apart.
