The principles and the decisions, each linked to the issue that tells its story. The recipes stay in the studio.

• Stems, lyric alignment and a beat grid before any GPU. Specific prompts cost less and land better.Issue 01 →
• Cast each model by strength: a specialist per job, found by a bake-off on the same keyframe.Issue 02 →
• Per-character compositing: no model holds a full band with hands, so each member is shot alone and layered onto one stage.Issue 01 →
• Measured lip-sync: mouth movement cross-correlated against the vocal stem, shifted by frames, not vibes.Issue 04 →
• A specialist model for the hardest job (the band performance), with the rest of the pipeline built around it.Issue 04 →
• One-off tricks turned into a reusable effects rig with face detection built in.Issue 03 →
• Feedback turned into standing rules: the opening glitch cut, violet banned from the cut.Issue 05 →
• The rebuild as a timed hit-list of events on the music, not decoration on a finished picture.Issue 11 →
• Every effect lands as its own clip in DaVinci Resolve, so the cut stays editable.Issue 11 →
• The vertical as a re-stage: the crop follows the performer, never pans across a cut, and the graphics are re-laid, not cropped.Issue 07 →
• Sound-check the render: an inherited export setting can silence a whole delivery.Issue 07 →
• Prove an experiment fast and drop it the same day when the output is wrong.Issue 08 →
