16:9 15 seconds. Seedance 2.5. Early-2000s consumer MiniDV, faded, soft contrast, digital noise, handheld shake. Suburban US garage 2002. THREE people only. Camcorder is POV — no fourth face. CHARACTER LOCK — HIGHEST PRIORITY: each person is exactly the person in their photo. Preserve facial identity, facial structure, eye shape and spacing, nose, mouth, exact skin tone, hairline, hairstyle, hair length, texture and colour, freckles and distinctive marks, apparent age, build and body proportions. Preserve their gender presentation exactly as shown. Do not beautify, slim, de-age or restyle them. No other people. Use they / their / them only. @image1 = FACE 1. Photocopy this person. Keyboard player. @image2 = FACE 2. Photocopy this person. Guitarist. @image3 = FACE 3. Photocopy this person. Drummer. Do not copy studio wardrobe from the lock photos. WARDROBE: authentic early-2000s casual — oversized band T-shirts, baggy jeans, hoodies, skate shoes, wristbands, baseball caps. Fit the clothes to each person’s body. Same era on all three. SET: cluttered garage, cheap electric guitar, secondhand keyboard on a stand, basic drum kit, small combo amp, tangled cables, folding chairs, old posters, cardboard boxes, dusty workbench. Fluorescent overhead. CAMERA: bulky MiniDV, heavy handheld, accidental zooms, sudden pans, autofocus breathing, imperfect framing. Operator laughs off-camera. BEATS: 0.0–3.0s THREE of them stand in the garage. @image2 holds the guitar and says “This is our first official rehearsal.” @image1 immediately asks “Do we actually know a song?” 3.0–6.0s They try to play. @image3 on drums starts too early. @image2 plays a different rhythm. @image1 looks around lost at the keys. They stop after two seconds. 6.0–9.0s They try again. @image2 hits the amp with a huge burst of feedback. Everyone jumps. Camera jerks. 9.0–12.0s @image3 does an overly dramatic drum fill. One stick slips and rolls across the floor. Everyone laughs. 12.0–15.0s They sit exhausted on folding chairs. @image2 to camera: “We'll be famous eventually.” @image3 quietly: “Hopefully not for this.” They burst out laughing. Camcorder zooms toward the amp and cuts to black. Audio: guitar, amp feedback, uneven drums, keyboard notes, garage echo, laughter, talk. No added music. No narration. No on-screen text. Same three faces every cut. Never a studio headshot as frame 0.

Do not copy studio wardrobe from the lock photo. WARDROBE EVERY SECOND: casual passenger-seat clothes — fuzzy white fleece jacket, light top, light blue jeans, seatbelt on. Small brown sunglasses as a PROP they put on. SETTING: passenger seat of a modern car. Raindrops on the SIDE WINDOWS. Bright SUNNY daylight outside. Open SUNROOF with sun coming in. No driver visible. No other people. STRUCTURE: 0.0–4.0s LIVE ACTION (the only moving shot). 4.0–15.0s HARD CUTS to STATIC PHOTO INSERTS — each beat is a frozen Instagram still, no motion, no blink, no talking mouth. Voiceover continues over the stills. SPOKEN VOICEOVER — upbeat, conversational, trendy, bestie energy, English, continuous over the whole 15s: 0.0–4.0s INTRO (LIVE): selfie held static. They sit in the passenger seat, seatbelt on. Both hands put on brown sunglasses, then they lean back, knees up toward chest, pose. They talk to camera. VO: “Riding shotgun, stop taking basic photos! Here are four go-to car selfie angles you have to try.” 4.0–7.0s VISOR (FROZEN STILL): hard cut. Looking UP into the pulled-down sun-visor mirror. Their reflection in the tiny visor mirror, their own phone in their hand taking the picture, head tilt. Retro aesthetic frame. No extra hands. VO: “First, flip down the visor and use the tiny mirror for a super aesthetic, retro frame.” 7.0–10.0s CHEERS (FROZEN STILL): hard cut. Front-facing selfie. Green paper iced-coffee cup toward the lens, playful smile, wink. VO: “Next, do a quick cheers with your iced coffee to show off the morning vibe.” 10.0–12.0s I SEE YOU (FROZEN STILL): hard cut. Brown sunglasses ON. Chin on hand. Calm direct stare into the lens. VO: “Lower your shades and hit the camera with an I see you look that feels totally effortless.” 12.0–15.0s BORED (FROZEN STILL): hard cut. Sunglasses pushed up onto the top of their head. Head heavy on their hand. Unamused dramatic bored face. VO: “And when traffic hits, just hit the bored pose. Save this for your next ride!” Same person every cut. No on-screen captions. No logos. Never a studio headshot as frame 0.
