# Shot QC checklist

Make a contact sheet (one frame per second) of every shot and check:

- [ ] **Same person**: face, hair, glasses match the reference.
- [ ] **Same outfit**: every item present, nothing swapped, jacket still on indoors.
- [ ] **Physics**: if a bowstring is drawn, a hand is drawing it and an arrow is nocked. Hands have five fingers. Objects do not melt into each other.
- [ ] **Story**: no accidental failure (explosions, crashes, falling) when the story is about success. Crop to the good part or regenerate.
- [ ] **Uninvited guests**: no extra characters, mascots or logos you did not ask for.
- [ ] **Text**: no garbled text or watermarks; real brand marks only with permission.
- [ ] **Ends**: the first and last second are usable (models often break at the end).
- [ ] **Format**: correct aspect ratio and resolution.

A shot that fails any line is regenerated, never hidden with effects.
