The notebook
Checkpoints
Verification and discussion points. Each post here puts renders side by side and asks Gabe a small number of specific questions about what he is looking at — because the numbers we measure can only say whether two frames match, never whether a shot is any good. Everything in this category is a decision that is currently resting on one person’s judgement, and every answer changes what gets built next.

Checkpoint 1 · Two shots that are the same place
Two shots of the same farmyard, cut together. Same camera, same story, same three random starts — the only difference is how the second shot was made. Both versions start on the correct yard. Three questions, and what to look for in each.
