7.6  Motion Review and Approval

Motion Review is the quality gate before a shot is approved for edit assembly. Review each shot across four dimensions before approving it.

• Character Motion Quality: Does the movement look natural and purposeful? Are poses reading clearly?

• Temporal Coherence: Does the shot hold together over time? Are there sudden jumps, morphs, or inconsistencies between frames?

• Facial Consistency: Does the character's face remain consistent with their established visual identity throughout the shot?

• Artifact Detection: Are there visual artifacts — flickering, melting geometry, duplicate limbs — that would be distracting in the final edit?

A shot that passes all four dimensions can be approved for edit. A shot that fails should be regenerated or flagged for manual revision.

Put it into practice

Review each shot using the motion review checklist. Approve shots that pass. Regenerate or flag shots that fail, noting which dimension failed to guide the next attempt.
