Continuity

The model will recast your lead, move the sun, and change the jacket because it does not have a script supervisor. Continuity is the discipline of not letting that become the campaign.

What must not move

Hour, identity anchors, wardrobe, light quality, the physics of the room. The camera may move. The body may move. The world may not. If you needed a new location, you needed a new bible, not “same woman, cinematic alley.”

How you enforce it

Paste the bible. Repeat the anchors in every order. Check rings, knit pills, fluorescent color. In software, continuity is tokens and route names — a third button style is a continuity break.

FAQ

Isn’t variation the point of AI?

Variation on the axes you chose is coverage. Variation on identity is a new cast. Directors choose the axis. Models, undirected, choose all of them.
