CONCEPT CROSS-CHECK ADDENDUM (vs BEYONDMORP.md — 3 recovered items) + +### RECOVERED SHOT: the car chase (concept marquee — shoot in Act 1, after a1s1) + +a1s2b_action [The Guy] (the cat-food run IS a car chase) +A beige hatchback drives sensibly through quiet suburban streets at golden hour, +filmed like a blockbuster car chase: screaming low angles on the hubcaps, The +Guy's steely eyes in the mirror, a three-point turn shot like a handbrake +drift with orchestral gravity, and an indicator blinking on in triumphant slow +motion. Sweeping chase-camera coverage. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick +ink outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, +no watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank or abstract +designs with no lettering. + +a1s2b_death [The Guy] +A beige hatchback attempts a heroic parallel park at blockbuster speed and +gently kisses the kerb; the hubcap pops off and rolls away in an endless +tragic circle as The Guy grips the wheel, staring into the distance, a single +bead of sweat falling. The clip ends held on the rolling hubcap. Low static +shot. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache +backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters +and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs with no lettering. + +### RECOVERED SHOT: Barry's death-read (the Barry-QTE fail state) +Concept rule: Barry interruptions ARE QTEs — press the input before his rant +ends for a bonus; fail, and he reads the original room description aloud in +full while you die. That fail needs its own clip: + +barry_deathread [Barry] +Flat dark charcoal background, even lighting. Barry pointedly opens a blank +vintage game manual, adjusts his glasses, and reads aloud from it with slow +relentless scholarly relish, occasionally glancing up at camera to make sure +you are still listening, settling in for the long haul. The clip ends held on +him wetting a finger to turn the page. Static medium shot, waist-up. 1980s +hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, +film grain. No text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters and record +sleeves are blank or abstract designs with no lettering. + +### ENGINE NOTES (no gens needed — for the build phase, not tonight) +- Barry-QTE mechanic: PiP window opens with a rant clip + action-input window; + pass = bonus + un-pause; fail = barry_deathread composites over the frozen + scene, THEN the scene's death plays. Engine v2's PiP is a CSS overlay video. +- Canon-error death cards: on canon-error deaths (a2s3 vine, etc.) the engine + overlays a wiki-citation card: "[disputed — source: rooms/room6.json]" as + HTML text (free, no gen, always crisp). +- Morp deviation, deliberate: concept said "CGI explosion-god"; the pack's Morp + is serene-and-disappointed instead — funnier, and stable to generate (fire + drifts ugly). Barry is furious the movie changed Morp. This is now canon. +- "morpinghorror" bonus look (gritty 2000s reboot grade) = post-ship alt-look + remaster via the promptc look system, not tonight's problem. + +Revised totals: 49 shots (~920cr Fast + ~1000 Quality). Run a1s2b right after +a1s1; barry_deathread with the Barry pack.
