# Dance Of — Internal continuity checkpoint

Status: INCOMPLETE WORKING CANDIDATE. Do not present as the approved review cut or final animation. Original story by Semaj. Prepared 2026-10-27.

The protected owner-approved v0.7 master is unchanged; its recovered SHA-256 is cf5f4ffec218819926c9fcaf72e6760936432b15ee7d49ea1e478cecd4b34e4. The latest recovered v0.12 picture/sound assembly is the source of this candidate; its Library ID is libfile_18d880cfd8ac8191b4d047c5b694e99b and SHA-256 is ae17b9f677178363409825759f74d33abc115e67ab84d5d69b54f67e4ac5bcb9.

The v0.14 working MP4 is 380 seconds, H.264/AAC 1280x720, SHA-256 bca3586eca02818fdf83e78716f5261c7d154ee96d2e9b1fa16e61d18a585dca. It retains the leaf opening, route through the subway, restaurant entry, black work uniforms, Mike's entrance, and the owner-selected Royal card shot from the recovered picture. The internal edit restores the opening bus crowd order, adds the Daniel card handoff, gives each panel of the accepted Ariel Boys and black-uniform rehearsal boards time onscreen, and applies provisional entrance-bay and rehearsal wardrobe continuity edits. Their repeated audio is temporary and needs an auditory mix and timing review.

Three generated stills are UNAPPROVED editorial candidates, not owner-approved replacement images. They make narrowly scoped location/wardrobe continuity corrections; identity, gesture, realism, and continuity must be checked against all accessible original approvals and corrected before delivery. Source compositions, approved images and protected masters must remain unchanged.

MATERIAL BLOCKERS: The source dialogue packet has 121 spoken blocks for 10 roles and explicitly says no voices are selected, recorded, or approved. The local realistic-motion test reports failed facial continuity and does not establish a complete performance, dance, or lip-sync pipeline. The connected workspace had one remaining credit on 2026-10-27; no credits were spent. Complete original user conversations were not available for a line-by-line review; retrieval returned selected excerpts. These gaps prevent representing the candidate as a complete, exact review cut or asserting a 0.00001 percent error rate. Full-scene visual, sound, synchronization, performance and human review remain outstanding.

The copied Python scripts record the internal editing recipe; their original absolute temporary paths are environment-specific. Source assets and edited stills are included in this checkpoint. The film retains audio from the user's existing private assembly; no additional music was licensed or commercially cleared here.

Generated edit briefs, made with the built-in image-generation workflow:

1. Lot entry: keep original composition and six dancers; change Kelly's grey top to the locked black server blouse and Justin's overshirt to his open black leather jacket, with white tank; preserve all other features.
2. Bus exit: preserve Kelly exiting last and Daniel while adjusting the background to the approved narrow cream-block fluorescent bay.
3. Luggage: preserve Daniel, Kelly, passengers, bus, and luggage while adjusting the background to the approved enclosed bay.

Next: establish an approved, rights-authorized dialogue/performance source and a validated identity-preserving motion/lip-sync pipeline within the permitted budget, then retest the complete sequence and sound against the owner-approved sources before presenting another cut.
