{"n": 1, "what": "read SCION 50 prompt and BRIEF; looked at kit contact sheets (dog f000-f049 with masks/rig keys, door f000-f031, 12 found shots)", "saw": "the archive dog is blurry (~130 px long), mostly 3/4 walking; f006 is a clean left profile; f016-f044 contain the dog's own turn (left profile, facing camera, right profile); no lying frame, no back-of-head frame; the door film f030 has a clean door leaf; 'The Door to Heaven' f000 has a hand holding a card lettered SORROW"}
{"n": 2, "what": "traced f006 into 7 parts over a 4x gridded scan; engraved with the scan's tone; test grid of poses", "saw": "reads as an engraved dog; head polygon hammer-shaped; head-low too shallow; colored speckles from ink overflow; rest head not on paws"}
{"n": 3, "what": "redrew the head contour, added drawn eye/nostril/mouth/ear (scan unreadable at that size), clipped ink, remapped head angles", "saw": "head low now below the line of the back; chin reaches the paws when resting; lying sphinx pose reads; tail is a rigid plank (kept)"}
{"n": 4, "what": "built the place: sectional elevation, fieldstone wall from the dog film's pillar, door leaf from Straight Talk f030, washes", "saw": "first sky was vertical lines (angle convention wrong), fixed to horizontal; stone first as smeared scan, replaced by drawn courses toned from the scan"}
{"n": 5, "what": "drawn person with the scan hand; first full render (2m38s, 768 scene frames)", "saw": "hand far too large (shrunk 0.40 to 0.25); the person sat outside on a bench and the approaching dog walked through her lap at 19-22.5 s; dusk wash leaked past the plate edge; margin text overlapped"}
{"n": 6, "what": "moved the person inside (steps back, sits on a stool beside the door, hand low into the reveal); caption slips; lie onset at the choice; look-in pushed forward", "saw": "no more overlap; the look-in head detached from the neck when pushed 27 px (reduced); a raised profile head still read as looking up/at her"}
{"n": 7, "what": "added a designed-analog plate: the back of the head, substituted 26.72-28.2 s; facing measured against the neck joint; lie onset from the centroid's descent", "saw": "the head now turns away from us into the lit room (ears and nape toward the viewer); trace onsets within 0.09 s of the score; checker ALL OK"}
{"n": 8, "what": "looked at every frame of both turns", "saw": "f018's mask includes shadow and reads as a bear; dropped it; documented frames printed darker than the puppet, lightened by 16 %; breathing and idle head added to the long holds"}
{"n": 9, "what": "made the cards' and margin's claims true", "saw": "title card said 'every movement is invented' but the two turns are the film's own frames: corrected; end card lists the 12 frames and that lying and the back of the head are invented"}
{"n": 10, "what": "critic round 1: does not pass (narrowly); blocking: lump turn frames f016/f017 at 3.458-3.500 and 8.458-8.541", "saw": "read reviews/round1.md"}
{"n": 11, "what": "dropped f016/f017; turn frames engraved at render time at the neighbouring cut-piece dog's height, centroid and mean tone; collar edge faded; captions lettered into the plate; footfalls, door and lie-down louder; end card and assets frame lists aligned", "saw": "every frame 3.40-3.98 and 8.00-8.71 extracted: f026 and f028 still read as bowed lumps"}
{"n": 12, "what": "dropped f026 and f028 too; out = f030x4, f033x2, f036, f038, f040, f043, f044x2; back = f033x7, f030x7", "saw": "every frame of both windows shows a head and legs; swap heights 189->182, 153->154, 190->184, 190->195 px; footfalls >= 8.7 dB over the cricket bed, lie-down event 8.3 dB, door 9.8 dB; check_handmade ALL OK; 912 frames, 38.0 s, 4.7 MB"}
{"n": 13, "what": "critic round 2: does not pass (narrowly); 1: frontal frames at 8.04-8.58 point the head away from the door; 2: 3.75-3.79 lumps (f038, f040); 3: collar edge", "saw": "read reviews/round2.md"}
{"n": 14, "what": "second turn printed as reversed impressions (f033, f030 mirrored, key says so); f038, f040 dropped (f036 held); head neck fade over the whole neck with torso-angle lines and feathered coverage; rebuilt", "saw": "every frame 3.40-3.98 and 7.40-8.69 extracted: head on the door side throughout 7.46-8.69; each refusal-turn frame shows a head and legs; no hard throat line at 18.5 s; check_handmade ALL OK"}
