Can we clone it? Yes, with notes
- Two people talk in this reel. Lip-sync is less reliable with two speakers and it uses more shots.
- Hands do detailed work in this reel (pouring, applying, assembling). Those shots may need a redo.
- This reel uses a song. We never reuse audio: your clone gets a voice-over (or on-screen text) in the same rhythm.
