Upload order is fixed. Never change it across generations.

BLOCK A · 0:00–0:15 ``` @Image1 — character sheet, TESS. Three panels: take the face from the LEFT chest-up portrait panel. The centre panel omits the head deliberately. Tess has a head and face in every shot. She matches the sheet 100% — exact face, exact skin texture, exact dark messy high bun, exact build, exact wardrobe. One specific real person, not a composite. Do not beautify, smooth, or drift toward a generic fitness-model face. @Image2 — the LODE product. Matte black tub, white wordmark only, smoke-grey shaker. Match exactly. @Image3 — the gym wide. Match the charcoal palette exactly. @Image4 — the gym filming bay. Match the window daylight, charcoal palette and contrast exactly. @Image5 — the apartment kitchen. Match the mismatched tungsten-and-blue lighting exactly.

CAMERA: every frame filmed on a phone, held at arm’s length by Tess or propped on a surface. Genuine handheld feel — real hand tremor, small organic drifts, slightly crooked horizons. Autofocus hunts once and resettles in the first two seconds. Never a tripod, never a gimbal, never slow motion. PACING: dialogue and physical action never overlap. She speaks, or she moves — never both. Leave real silence between lines. PERFORMANCE: low energy, faintly tired, genuinely unimpressed. Talking to her phone like she’s talking to a friend. No enthusiasm, no smiling at the lens, no influencer energy.

0:00–0:05 · HOOK. Selfie, arm’s length. Tess @Image1 stands still at the bottom of a dim apartment stairwell, oversized cream hoodie on, gym bag already on her shoulder, cold pre-dawn blue from a window behind her. She is not walking. She says, flat: “I stopped hitting PRs for four months.” She pauses for a full half-second, looking slightly off-lens. Then: “It wasn’t my program.” The frame drifts with her hand.

0:05–0:09.5 · THE SCOOP. Cut. Phone propped low on the kitchen counter @Image5, static but noticeably crooked. No face in frame — hands and torso only. She scoops powder from the matte black tub @Image2 into the smoke-grey shaker, spills a little on the laminate, doesn’t wipe it, twists the lid on. Voiceover, no lip sync, landing mid-action: “I just wasn’t eating enough to recover.” Then a second and a half of only scoop-and-plastic sound with no voice.

0:09.5–0:11.5 · OUT THE DOOR. Cut. Quick handheld, hands only — the gym bag zipping shut and lifting off the kitchen floor. Then a dark hallway and a door pulling closed. No dialogue. Room tone only.

0:11.5–0:15 · ARRIVAL. Cut. Phone propped on a bench, low and wide. Tess walks into the dark modern gym @Image3 from the left, small in frame, charcoal floor and receding LED battens behind her. She crosses into the pool of window daylight, sets the shaker down on the bench with the wordmark toward camera but slightly out of focus, and pulls the cream hoodie off over her head to the forest-green crop tee underneath. She speaks only after the hoodie is off and she has stopped moving: “So I changed one thing.” Hold one beat on her standing there. END ON THIS FRAME — she is standing in the window light, hoodie off, green tee, dry skin, no chalk, breathing normally.

VOICE: natural, warm, human female voice. Casual conversational cadence, real pitch variation, small natural imperfections, one slightly swallowed word. Low energy, faintly tired, underselling. Must sound like an actual person recording herself — NOT synthetic, NOT robotic, NOT bright, NOT an ad read. AUDIO: real room tone. Apartment: a distant street, the scoop against plastic, the shaker lid, the bag zip. Gym: distant plates, a fan, her footsteps. Audio slightly hot and a little clipped, like a phone mic in a reverberant room. No music. LOOK: shot on a recent smartphone. HDR, mild digital over-sharpening on edges, visible luminance noise in the dim apartment, slight rolling shutter on pans, clipped highlights near windows. Flat and ungraded. Apartment: cold blue window light disagreeing with warm tungsten under-cabinet light. Gym: hard directional daylight from camera-right, cool LED battens behind, deep charcoal surroundings. Her forest-green tee is the only real colour in the gym frames. NEGATIVE: no identity drift from @Image1. No composite, averaged or generic face. No CGI-smooth, waxy or airbrushed skin. No beauty filter. No tripod or gimbal smoothness. No slow motion. No film grain, no halation, no cinematic or teal-and-orange grade. No music. No on-screen text, captions or graphics. No robotic voice. No dialogue overlapping with action. No enthusiasm. No mirror posing, no body-checking, no physique framing, no sexualised angles. No real-world brand logos. No other people. No watermark.

BLOCK B · 0:15–0:30

Same settings. This is the second half of a single continuous commercial — match Block A’s look, voice and grade exactly.

@Image1 — character sheet, TESS. Take the face from the LEFT chest-up portrait panel; the centre panel omits the head deliberately. Tess has a head and face in every shot. 100% match — exact face, exact skin texture, exact dark messy high bun, exact build. One specific real person, not a composite. No beautification, no smoothing, no drift. @Image2 — the LODE product. Match exactly. @Image4 — the gym filming bay. Match the window daylight, charcoal palette and contrast exactly.

CONTINUITY — CRITICAL. This clip picks up in the same gym seconds after the previous one. Tess wears the forest-green crop tee and heather-grey wide-leg sweatpants — the cream hoodie is already off and must not appear. Her hair is in the same loose high messy bun. Over the course of this clip she progresses from dry and composed to flushed, sweat at the hairline and along the collarbone, loose strands stuck to her temples, chalk on her hands.

CAMERA: every frame filmed on a phone, propped on a surface or handheld. Genuine handheld feel, real hand tremor, slightly crooked framings. Never a tripod, never a gimbal, never slow motion. PACING: dialogue and physical action never overlap. The training block from 0:03 to 0:06 has no dialogue at all — only breathing and equipment sound. That silence is deliberate; do not fill it. PERFORMANCE: low energy, tired, genuinely underselling. No enthusiasm, no smiling at the lens.

0:00–0:03 · CHALK AND LOAD. Opens on a tight handheld insert — her hands press into the chalk bowl and clap once, fine white dust bursting and hanging suspended in the hard diagonal window light. Cut to the lifting belt cinching tight at her waist, torso only. Cut to a black bumper plate sliding onto the end of the barbell. Voiceover only, no lip sync: “Thirty grams, actually mixes, doesn’t wreck my stomach.”

0:03–0:06 · THE SET. NO DIALOGUE. Cut. Phone propped behind and below the rack, low angle. Tess unracks and grinds out a heavy set, bracing hard, the last rep slow and ugly. She racks the bar untidily with a loud clang. Cut to her standing off to the side, hands on knees, head down, shoulders heaving. Let this shot run slightly too long before cutting. Only her breathing, the bar, and gym room tone.

0:06–0:09.5 · THE PROOF. Cut. Handheld, uncomfortably close, poorly framed. She tips powder from the tub @Image2 into the shaker of water, seals it, shakes hard three times, and holds it up against the window light. The liquid is visibly clear and uniform — no clumps, no foam ring. Voiceover only: “Nine dollars more than my old one.” Half a beat. “Got over it.”

0:09.5–0:13 · THE VERDICT. Cut. Phone propped on the floor, low and slightly crooked. Tess sits on the charcoal rubber matting with her back against the power rack, in the pool of window daylight so her face is properly exposed, the dark gym falling away behind her. Flushed, breathing settling, chalk dust on her hands. She looks into the lens and says, unhurried: “Eight weeks in, I’m adding weight again. Same program.”

0:13–0:15 · THE CLOSE. Same setup, continuous. A full beat of silence. She shrugs very slightly. “That’s it.” Short pause. “Fourth tub.” She reaches toward the lens to stop the recording and the clip CUTS HARD mid-movement, before her hand arrives. No outro, no sign-off, no logo card.

VOICE: identical to Block A — natural, warm, human female voice, casual conversational cadence, real pitch variation, small natural imperfections. Low energy and underselling throughout, and audibly slightly out of breath from the training block onward. Must sound like an actual person recording herself — NOT synthetic, NOT robotic, NOT bright, NOT an ad read. AUDIO: real gym room tone — distant plates, a fan, the barbell clang, her breathing. Slightly hot and a little clipped, like a phone mic in a reverberant room. No music. LOOK: identical to Block A. Shot on a recent smartphone — HDR, mild over-sharpening, visible luminance noise in shadow areas, clipped highlights near windows. Flat and ungraded. Hard directional daylight from camera-right as the key, cool LED battens behind, deep charcoal surroundings, strong natural contrast. Her forest-green tee is the only real colour in frame. NEGATIVE: no identity drift from @Image1. No composite or generic face. No cream hoodie. No CGI-smooth, waxy or airbrushed skin. No beauty filter. No tripod or gimbal smoothness. No slow motion. No film grain, no halation, no cinematic grade. No music. No on-screen text, captions, graphics or logo card. No call to action. No clean or produced ending. No robotic voice. No dialogue during the training block. No enthusiasm. No mirror posing, no body-checking, no physique framing, no before-and-after comparison, no sexualised angles. No real-world brand logos. No other people. No watermark. ```
