# beam.skin-cartoon · BACKSWING · 0.1 s continuity audit (E, 28 Oct)

## How it was checked
- **Scrub:** the whole scene, 0.0 to 8.8 s, at every 0.1 s, at gore 5, from the LIVE files (`/Volumes/Workspace/Scratch/killpages-e/out/bs/audit/scrub_*.jpg`).
- **Ladder:** the apex and the final at every level (`out/bs/ladder_6.jpg`).
- **Hand naming:**
  - **A = Faris.** R = the grip, L = the barrel or the swap.
  - **Hiba:** UH = the upper hand on the haft (performer F), LH = the lower hand (performer B). The axe is drawn from her two hands: the haft runs through both and on past UH to the head.

## Table
| scene t | A hands | Hiba's hands | props | issue | fixed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.0-0.46 | R grip · L barrel | both palms flat on the floor; the haft dragged up out of a gold puddle (castInk 'slam'); the axe upright between her hands | the cast axe (drawn only until it is in her hands) | the cast target lingered as a second standing axe all film | the cast drawer returns once the axe is in her hands (t >= 0.31) |
| 0.46-0.8 | - | one spin round her body; the low guard | the axe | the axe read as a stick | the axe scaled up (x1.45: a shoulder-high haft, a broad crescent blade, a hooked beard, a back spike) |
| 1.0 | line 1 | she drops under it; the heat licks the axe head (sparks) | - | - | - |
| 1.1-2.62 | the swap begins (the core out at 1.12); L back on the barrel holding the fresh core for the block (1.56); seated 2.62 | two strides in | spent core 1 lands and stays | - | - |
| 1.54-1.84 | the cannon stood vertical (A.w -76): **CLANG** | the flat swing at his ribs bites the barrel | **the notch** in the barrel, there for the rest of the film | - | - |
| 2.04-2.42 | dragged a step by the hook; goes with it; the butt into her chest (2.3) | the beard hooked over the barrel; the yank (2.18); knocked back two steps | - | - | - |
| 2.8-3.1 | leans back, the blade passes under his chin (2.9) | the axe spun low behind her, the rising stroke (2.95) | - | - | - |
| 3.3-3.6 | line 2 over her back (3.5); the shoulder check puts him on one knee (3.6) | low inside the barrel's length; the heat grazes her shoulder (a hit spring + spurt) | - | - | - |
| 3.72-4.3 | swap 2 on his knee (the core out at 3.78) | the kick sends the barrel aside (3.72); the haft reversed, the butt on his crown (4.08: his crown bleeds) | spent core 2 lands and stays | - | - |
| 4.6-5.2 | the fresh core in (5.2) | half a pace back; the hands slide to the end of the haft | - | - | - |
| 5.2-5.7 | **the charge starts in the same frame as her lift** | THE LIFT: the axe up and back over her head to the apex | - | - | - |
| 5.7 | line 3 from his knee (slow motion 5.66-6.4) | XT / VH / H: both raised arms cut 35% down from the shoulder, and the head bursts; the arms with the axe still in their hands fall behind her as one piece (it turns, bounces and rests); M: the forearms at the elbows | the axe with her forearms on it (it stays) | - | - |
| 5.76-6.4 | - | the body kneels and pitches forward beside him (ensureDead 6.4) | - | - | - |
| 6.6-7.5 | stands; L to his crown, then down | - | - | - | - |
| 7.4 | the wide final | - | - | - | - |

## Notes
- **Faris is hurt in a real fight:** the notch in his cannon, his crown cracked.
- **Gore:** STYLE round wet caps on the stumps and the pieces, pulsing spurts, the head pop. No faces, no bones, no organs. ending58: false, so each level is placed by hand.
- **Sound:** its own snd58 table (the beam hum, the pulse bed, the gold rising, the whooshes, a sting on the notch and on the crown, the hush and two heartbeats under the lift, the boom and the ring on the apex). The clang, the clanks, the hits and the gore are in the build.
