c6788afba5 trailer.html: draw the storyboard, and show the cast sheets
The draw button is live and priced from what that writer actually wrote -
three sheets a character plus an opening and a closing frame a shot - so a
14-shot trailer costs $3.33 and a 30-shot one costs more, rather than both
being quoted an average.

Cast sheets render as head/front/side, because they are the thing that stops a
face drifting between shots and the author should be able to reject a face
before seventy pictures are drawn from it.

Progress is per picture rather than a spinner: drawing takes minutes and a
spinner that might mean "working" or "hung" is worse than a count.

5ea49c386c trailer.html: one tab per writer, with a play button and a note box
Reading a trailer tells you what happens; hearing it tells you the line is
four seconds too long and the grandmother sounds thirty. So the play button
ships before the draw button - speaking a whole trailer costs fractions of a
cent against five dollars to draw it - and it prints the spoken length against
the length the writer planned, which is the most common fault in these scripts.

The note box saves as you stop typing. A note you have to remember to save is
a note that gets lost when you switch tabs.

The draw button is priced from what the writer actually wrote - three sheets a
character plus an opening and a closing frame a shot - rather than from an
estimate, and is disabled until that stage lands.
