What can change between frames?

Continuity keeps identity stable while action, camera and expression move the scene forward.

Choose the safest direction for a new take. Keep hair, wardrobe and proportions. Change pose and expression. Smooth the hair and keep the camera angle. Change pajamas to match the room palette.

A new action should not rewrite the character lock.
