Serial work: what each tool documents about continuity

A character saved with a name, then called by that name in the script

The page states that every character is saved with a name, a face and a voice style, and then referenced by name in each script so the same face appears in every render. The name is doing the work, which makes the mechanism legible to anyone who can read the script. As of 2026-09-22.

A name doing the work of a lookupA character is saved with a name, a face and a voice style, and the script refers to it by name, so casting and instruction are the same document.SavedA character with a name, aface and a voice style.a keyReferencedThe script calls thecharacter by that namewherever it appears.a lookupRenderedThe same face appears, and areview of the script is areview of the casting.The weakness the page does not mentionTwo characters with the same short name, a name that occurs in dialogue, or a rename halfwaythrough a run: each is a lookup problem and none is addressed.

PointWhat the vendor's page statesHow this file reads it
The sentenceA saved character with a name, a face and a voice styleDocumented, with the lookup key stated
What it namesThe saved character and the name that addresses itA key, which is the part most pages omit
What it leaves outWhat happens when two characters share a nameUnaddressed, and it is the obvious failure of a name key

Inclusion rule. Three points per reading: the sentence as the vendor published it, the thing that sentence names, and what it declines to settle. Nothing here is inferred from an interface or a demo. Order. From the published sentence, to what it names, to what it leaves open.

1Addressing a cast by name puts continuity in the script

If the script resolves the cast, then the script is the record of who is in a shot, and a continuity error becomes a typing error somebody can find by reading. That is a much shorter feedback loop than comparing frames.

It also means the artefact and the instruction are the same document, so a producer reviewing a script is reviewing the casting at the same time.

2A name key has a known weakness and the page does not mention it

Two characters called by the same short name, a name that appears in dialogue as an ordinary word, a rename halfway through a season: each of these is routine in a writers' room and each of them is a lookup problem.

Nothing on the page says whether names must be unique or what a collision produces. The reading records the mechanism and marks the gap rather than assuming either outcome.
