# knife.skin-taped · FIELD DRESSING · CONTINUITY AUDIT (F, 28 Oct) · FINAL pass

SKIN TAPED · DUEL vs a sabre, 8.2 s. Times are scene seconds.
- **F** = Faris: the blink knife in his RIGHT hand all film. Its skin is TAPED until the peel ends (2.95), then the grip is bare. LEFT free; it wraps the tape.
- **H** = Hiba (pink): the speed sabre in her RIGHT hand; no hat.
- **Props:**
  - The tape: the strip runs from the grip to his left hand, then becomes three bands on the forearm that stay all film.
  - The sabre lands and stays: with her forearm at MEDIUM and up, cut in half at LOW, dropped at VERY LOW.

Checked on `img/8plus/knife_cine/skin-taped_FIELD-DRESSING_final.jpg` and the tape close-up (`kc/fd_tape.jpg`).
