Scenes The story, read and broken into scenes before a single frame exists. Appearance, clothing, personality, voice, and how each one changes. One place, bound to every scene that uses it. Framing, camera and audio, shot by shot. Each one checkable on its own.
The critic

It reads its own work, and sends it back.

Every character, place and shot is audited against the book before the film is made. What fails the text is deleted and rendered again.

The gate
Three men walk out of the gate while the horses beside them walk the other way.
The bazaar
The brass dead, who must not move at all, are moving.
The hall
Mid-shot the throne room is replaced by open desert.

Three shots from an early cut of The City of Brass, beside the same three in the film above. Nothing here was staged for the website: these are the shots the audit flagged, and the renders that replaced them.
