Series drift is usually blamed on the model. Look at the card instead. The character was described from memory at every job, and memory edits as it goes. “Honey-blonde hair in a high ponytail with a cream ribbon” in frame one becomes “blonde elegant hair” by frame four, and the audience watches a stranger take her place. The repair is simple: write her down once, on a pavilion card you paste rather than retype.
Five fixed lines, always in order
Age — a number, and in this pavilion a mature one. Hair — colour, length and one habitual style. Build — two or three words, no more. Face — one or two details that survive any light. Signature — the one object or mark that identifies her at a glance.
Judge in full light
The pavilion habit is to judge every frame in the open, beside the card, before it travels anywhere. Flaws hidden by a flattering corner are flaws the finishing bench will charge you to discover. Full light at the still stage is the cheapest honesty in the studio.
