# revolver.drip · DRIP · continuity audit (O, 28 Oct)

Scrubbed at 0.1 s film steps:
- the exchange: film 3.6-5.9 (`rev/drip_s1.jpg`);
- the climax: film 10.4-12.8 (`rev/drip_s2.jpg`);
- the whole film: the 40-frame strip (`rev/drip_b.jpg`).

Times below are scene seconds. A = Faris (revolver in his RIGHT hand throughout), V = Amjad.

| t | Faris: right hand / left hand | Amjad: front (knife) hand / back hand | props | issue | fixed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.0-0.47 | gun at the hip / free at the hip | the knife in a forward grip / guard at the brow | knife in V's front hand | — | — |
| 0.56-0.86 | gun / free; at 0.84 it checks V's forearm | the slash, then the backhand / back for balance | knife in V's front hand | the lunge stopped 100 u short (no contact) | the start and lunge moved in; the blade passes an inch off his throat |
| 0.9 | round 1 into the knife hand / still on V's forearm | the forearm is cut to 55% with a round cap / up | the wrist + fist + knife fly from the cut | — | — |
| 0.9-1.6 | gun / back to the guard | the stump clutched to the chest, pulsing / clutching it | the severed hand lands flat at x≈930 (behind where the slab will rise) | — | — |
| 1.62-2.62 | aims at the runner, round 2 at 2.3 / free | the stump / pumping as he runs, then tucked for the roll | the trail: splats + drips on the floor | — | — |
| 2.8-3.0 | gun lowered / free | the stump / palm slams the floor: CAST (from a free hand) | the gold slab inks up between them | — | — |
| 3.1-4.1 | walks the drip line, gun low / free | crouched behind the slab (hidden; the slab is drawn over him) | trail on the floor; the slab | — | — |
| 4.1-4.8 | — | the stump / reaches to the severed hand and pries the knife out (cut-away, the gold see-through) | knife: severed hand → his left hand at 4.62 | — | — |
| 5.3-5.9 | stops, raises the gun / free | shifts along to the far end | the pool creeps out from under the near end | — | — |
| 6.1 | round 3 through the gold / free | crouched at the far end | hole + gold chips in the slab | — | — |
| 6.5-7.3 | gun tipped up (cylinder out) / thumbs three rounds in from the belt | at the tinkle, his head snaps round | three brass cases tinkle down and STAY on the floor | — | — |
| 6.88-7.38 | gun shut at 7.3 / free | the stump / the knife raised, then the stab | — | — | — |
| 7.42-7.95 | the muzzle under the jaw / traps V's knife arm under his armpit | the stump / knife arm trapped | — | — | — |
| 8.0 | round 4 (the reloaded first) / releases | head explosion (K58.STYLE.headPop), drops in place | the knife falls from the dead fingers and lies on the floor | the body was thrown behind the slab, out of view | knockback reduced: he drops in front of the gold |
| 8.0-end | gun lowered / free at the hip | dead; soul rise | the slab (with its hole) stays; the trail | an ink-out glint floated in the final | the ink-out removed; the slab is part of the final picture |

Not visible as a fault, but noted:
- The severed hand lies behind the slab, so it is hidden in the final; it reads in the cut-away.
- The trail splats are irregular in size and spacing (no pattern).
