RE: Ep.12 sting — Kerry kayak / second-unit path plate (rev 3)
DATE: 30 Sep 2026

The field cards came back out of order. Please restore the voice-over by ear —
it was cut on words, not on picture. Then put our two guides into the new
second-unit plate of the footpath: standing behind the little stone wall on
the marked spot, and staying there while the camera walks in (the operator
rolled the camera a bit, so they have to roll with the ground). The camera
looks through a stand of reeds and past a gate post; both are soft and both
have to stay in front of our guides. The guides also need to sit in the light
of the plate as its exposure drifts.

Tourism still wants the county name on screen the moment it is spoken, using
the lower-third we already approved.

Roto is to be done in Blender with its own masks and tracks — the network
won't sign off on machine-generated mattes for this series.
Everything has to live in Blender so we can re-render when legal sends notes.
Deliverables: 1080p master, the Blender project, three posters, QC note.
The finishing spec (brand_board.md) is the contract.
