gator fb1d9f229e Hear the script before paying to film it
Filming is $0.40 a shot. Speaking the same words is a few hundredths of a cent.
So the narrative — does it flow, is the joke in the right place, does it drag —
can now be judged for about one percent of the cost, using the opening stills
as placeholders and the pet's real voice.

It also replaces a guess with a measurement. Line length was estimated from a
word count and hoped to fit eight seconds; speaking it says exactly how long it
takes, and a line that runs over is flagged before anything is filmed rather
than after.
