Right on Time — Clip Review (Waves 3

How to review: each clip is ~9 seconds, tap a clip to play it on your phone. One-line verdict under each. Notes where I'm honest:

Wave 4 shot 4 — Neil's shirt reads a bit washed-white under the bright grade. It's the same linen, but flagging it so you see it first.
Wave 3 shot 2 — Neil's shirt reads slightly desaturated/grey under the grade. Same locked shirt.
Girl #2 (dark curly hair) wears pink floral dresses across all waves — consistent.
The tie-caught-in-the-door comedy scene is NOT in this package — it stays out until you approve the still.
Nothing assembled into the full song yet. These are individual saved clips only, so anything can be fixed before the final cut.

Wave 3 — Chorus 1

Song section: 44.9–75.3s

wave3-shot1-duo-hook-wide · 9.03s

"You showed up right on time."

PASS. Wide duo hook, arms open. Both faces locked, wardrobe exact (Neil tan/brown, Scott blue/navy). Strong VHS tracking bands — proper retro.

wave3-shot2-neil-moneyline-closeup · 9.03s

"Turned my water into sweet tea wine."

PASS. Neil money-line close-up, eyes half-closed, soulful. Face holds all the way through. Shirt reads slightly desaturated under the grade but it's the locked linen.

wave3-shot3-scott-harmony-guitar · 9.03s

"I was down to my last dime, now I'm rich every day you're mine."

PASS. Scott side-angle on guitar + harmony. Face consistent; one mid-frame is soft but it's motion blur, not a morph. Natural hands.

wave3-shot4-girls-dancing · 9.03s

"Didn't pray for a sign, didn't stand in line."

PASS. Both girls dancing at the marina. Faces + pink floral dresses stay consistent across the whole clip. Light leaks look great.

Wave 4 — Verse 2

Song section: 80.4–105.1s

wave4-shot1-neil-radio-singalong · 9.03s

"Now the radio plays and I sing every word."

PASS. Neil belting along to the boombox on the convertible hood, Scott beside him. Identity holds, warm feel.

wave4-shot2-scott-laughing-offkey · 9.03s

"Even off-key, baby, best you ever heard."

PASS. Warm brotherly beat — Scott laughing, pointing at Neil. Faces locked. (Not the tie scene — that one stays out.)

wave4-shot3-neil-bounce-boardwalk · 9.03s

"Got a bounce in my step that I can't explain."

PASS. Neil strutting the boardwalk. Tan linen + brown suspenders exact. Good retro wobble.

wave4-shot4-duo-point-girls · 9.03s

"My friends keep asking what changed in me / I just point at you."

PASS, with a note. Neil points at the girls, all four laughing, girls match refs. My honesty note: Neil's shirt reads a bit washed-white under the bright grade here. It's the same linen shirt, but you may want to see it — say the word and it gets a re-render before the final cut.

Wave 5 — Chorus 2

Song section: 114.3–139.3s

wave5-shot1-duo-big-singalong · 9.03s

"You showed up right on time."

PASS. Duo on the hood, arms wide, crowd of onlookers (model-added, works for the bigger chorus energy). Faces hold.

wave5-shot2-scott-featured-harmony · 9.03s

"Turned my water into sweet tea wine."

PASS. Scott steps forward with the guitar for his harmony feature. Confident, consistent face.

wave5-shot3-girls-big-dance · 9.03s

"I was down to my last dime, now I'm rich every day you're mine."

PASS. Girls spinning big, hair flying, strong light leaks. Both identities hold.

wave5-shot4-allfour-finale-wide · 9.03s

"Didn't pray for a sign, didn't stand in line, you just showed up right on time."

PASS. All four, arms around each other, sun flare. Last frame has motion blur on the girls' faces — it's motion, not a morph.

Wave 6 — Bridge

Song section: 145.0–161.9s

wave6-shot1-bridge-chant-intimate · 9.03s

"I was late on love, I was late on love."

PASS. Duo handclap chant at dusk — vulnerable breakdown feel. Faces locked, wardrobe exact.

wave6-shot2-neil-money-belt · 9.03s

"Say it with me, right on time!" (the G#5 money note)

PASS. Neil full belt at dusk, head back, eyes closed. Extreme angle but still reads Neil — hair/beard consistent.

wave6-shot3-allfour-bridge-build · 9.03s

"I was down on love, now the stars align."

PASS. All four chanting at the dusk marina, energy rising. Identities hold.

Wave 7 — Final chorus + Outro

Song section: 162.6–188.0s + 192.3–204.2s

wave7-shot1-finalchorus-peak · 9.03s

"You showed up right on time."

PASS. All four at the boardwalk, sunset flare, max charisma. Faces hold.

wave7-shot2-duo-harmony-peak · 9.03s

"Now I'm rich every day you're mine."

PASS. Tight harmony two-shot, faces close, big grins. Locked.

wave7-shot3-crowd-singalong · 9.03s

"Didn't pray for a sign, didn't stand in line."

PASS. Duo leading a big crowd singalong, hands up. Scott's hair reads a touch bigger here but it's the same guy.

wave7-shot4-outro-walkaway · 9.03s

"Right on time, baby, never late, never late."

PASS. All four walking away into the sunset, backs to camera. Identity carried by the locked wardrobe — still reads as them.

Wave 8 — Alternates

Backup angles / alternates

wave8-alt1-moneybelt-profile · 9.03s

Alternate angle of the bridge money note.

PASS. Side-profile belt at dusk. Works as a backup for wave 6 shot 2.

wave8-alt2-finalchorus-boardwalk · 9.03s

Alternate final-chorus wide.

PASS. All four dancing toward camera on the boardwalk. Clean backup angle.

wave8-alt3-scott-intro-reaction · 9.03s

"Oh yeah, right on time."

PASS. Scott solo intro moment, leaning on the convertible. Face and wardrobe locked.

Bottom line: 22 clips, 22 passes. Faces hold across the board, wardrobe matches the color bible (Neil tan/brown, Scott blue/navy), the two girls are consistent, no morphs, no text, no brand marks. Two honest grade notes: wave 4 shot 4 (Neil's shirt washed white) and wave 3 shot 2 (shirt slightly desaturated). Everything is saved as individual clips — nothing assembled, so any fix is cheap before the final cut. Say the word on any re-render or keep.
