Gate 3 of 4 — stills approval precedes clip animation

Sophie's Story — Gate 3: Scene Stills

The eight new scene visuals, each generated from the locked references. These stills are the exact animation sources for the scene-by-scene clips — approve them and production animates each one image-to-video for the 60s cut.

Shot 13 & 14 retakes are ready for review → — three replacement takes per shot: Shot 13 fixes the garbled story-page text; Shot 14 locks the printed photo back to Sophie.

Interior pages

The finished tribute book's designed interior spread — sharp Sophie photo page beside the legible "SOPHIE — A life full of love." story line (retake 13-C); static tableau, no hands

Animated scene clip set

Each approved still animated image-to-video. Shots 2 and 14 carry their baked lip-sync dialogue (d1, d2); every other clip is muted, with VO and music laid over at assembly. Review for identity hold, natural movement, lip-sync accuracy, and absence of artifacts before Gate 4 assembly.
