🎯 Reference look · every clip is tuned to it
A real mountain photograph (the Matterhorn): sharp rock, clean snow, natural sky. The worker carries this photo's
measured look (not the picture itself). Every clip is tuned toward it, then measured against it:
real texture, grain, edge sharpness and colour strength. A clip that does not match still lands, marked
didn't match, after the worker has tried to correct it.

Camera words come first: write a camera angle, shot size, move or lens (low angle, close-up, drone shot, dolly zoom,
35mm …) and the worker reads them before anything else and tells you what it read. With no camera words, a clip
whose camera is dead steady gets the
walking bump of your iPhone shot (measured from your clip); a tripod,
drone, dolly or gimbal shot stays steady.
Reminder to the worker: analyse the reference on every clip. Waiting for its first report…
