STORYBOARD — E1 Same Dose, Different Woman — Solo × At-home (kitchen)

The locked script is an Echo-chain deliverable and does not carry v2 Fields 19/20/21/25. Mapping used:

Hook-variant handling (Echo 1×3 contract): Beat 1 exists as THREE storyboard variants (1A / 1B / 1C) — interchangeable opening sections. Beats 2-9 are the shared locked-body storyboard. Each variant ends on the identical handoff line into Secret #1.

Delivery markup: [pause] / [quieter] / CAPS stripped from all on-screen text; carried into per-beat DIRECTION notes only. ALL delivery direction is BRACKETED as of v1.2 — bare asterisk-italic direction words broke voice-over generation, so [quieter] is the only form the script, this board, and the VO block use; never re-introduce the italic form. Pause note: 10 scripted [pause] marks on variants A/C (9 on B) plus 4 [quieter] shifts ≈ +8s over the word-derived runtime → delivered runtime ≈ 3:03 on all three variants, past the 175s word-derived donor ceiling. DECLARED at v1.2 (the Zied-directed cold-audience product orientation + the named-brand/link close grew the UMS by 11 words and the CTA by 24) — never shaved; editors should not pad further.

Rotation: reference_usage_log.jsonl contains only the seed line — EXCLUDE set empty (first storyboard run). Log append SKIPPED (compat test). Pool note: the §2b semantic query top-15 was 100% trysoluma (donor brand family); intersection with list_winners top-20 was EMPTY. Resolved by: donor pinned as DECLARED-choice cornerstone (Echo SEED binding, §2f deliberate re-use), plus cross-brand D02 video winners drawn from the Echo reference set that also appear in the winners pool.

[Anchor A — CORNERSTONE] 980830331413584 — trysoluma — winner_score 65.7 — video (THE DONOR, SEED) Hook pattern: H08 transformation receipt; floating before/after cards over shoulders held the FULL hook (0:01-0:14); qualification in line 1 On-screen text style: native IG/TikTok auto-captions, bold white sans-serif, bottom third, word-by-word animation; niche keywords highlighted ("thyroid belly", "1200 calories", "decoy molecules", "31 pounds") B-roll cuing: NONE — steady medium close-up carries everything; visuals change only at before/after pop and bottle hold (1:50) Transition style: one deliberate hard cut at 2:01 (kitchen → living room fireplace) as pattern interrupt at the mechanism/pitch turn; otherwise zero cuts Mute-test asset: face + floating before/after stills + captions

Best-fit beat type in our script: ALL (SEED full-pattern borrow); primary: hook, UMS product hold, MoA location cut

Tooling stack inferred: real-shoot UGC selfie (one woman, phone framing) — adapted to Soul Cinema; flagged per beat where the adaptation strains

[Anchor B] 1272849830515980 — elavate — winner_score 94.2 — video Hook pattern: H06 rock-bottom diary, disfluent warmth (aggression 1/5 at the highest ws in the whole set) On-screen text style: minimal; physical props carry proof B-roll cuing: printed before/after photos held TO THE LENS; self-pinching cheeks/jawline on camera — proof made physical, 47s before/after deep-dive is the single largest beat Transition style: single-take home shoot, no cut grammar Mute-test asset: face + physical photo props

Best-fit beat type in our script: Results & Outcome (primary), Hook B's printout-to-lens prop move (secondary)

Tooling stack inferred: real-shoot home — prop-in-hand beats flagged for AI-render reliability

[Anchor C] 996783379480548 — trysoluma — winner_score 65.9 — video (same-mechanism sibling) Hook pattern: clinical authority open (male presenter in scrubs, wood backdrop) On-screen text style: white text boxes, black sans-serif, native-caption mimicry B-roll cuing: native-style square image overlays popping above the presenter's head every 3-5s (Ozempic pen, liver, T4/T3 diagram, mitochondria) Transition style: none — pacing driven by speech + overlay cadence Mute-test asset: face + first overlay

Best-fit beat type in our script: UMPb mechanism reveal ONLY — the floating T4/T3 diagram-still. FLAG: its every-3-5s overlay cadence and authority-lecture register do NOT fit our confessional; borrowed in restrained single-still form with cross-adaptation rationale at Beat 4 (VS6 logged)

Tooling stack inferred: real-shoot authority + graphic overlays — overlay grammar adapts to post-production compositing regardless of speaker tooling

[Anchor D] 995846922552450 — thebbco — winner_score 70.1 — video Hook pattern: H06 diary blurt in 6s; five micro-beats to mechanism in 24s On-screen text style: sparse; physical comedy carries B-roll cuing: prop/environment interaction (hand-fan, belly reveal, window yell, three bottle holds) Transition style: fast micro-beat cuts (47s total) Mute-test asset: physical action + face

Best-fit beat type in our script: Hook variants' prop moves (1B lab printout) and the CTA bottle presence. FLAG: its fast-cut pacing contradicts our donor's steady take — pattern borrowed at PROP level only, never the cut rhythm (VS6 cross-adaptation logged)

Tooling stack inferred: real-shoot — prop-interaction beats flagged for AI-render hand/object artifacts

Global visual spine (applies to every beat unless overridden): 9:16 vertical, tight eye-level selfie framing, speaker slightly off-center, real lived-in kitchen (warm whites/beiges/wood; a kettle, a fruit bowl — unfussy real-life detail), natural window light, clean residential audio, NO music, continuous native word-by-word captions (bold white sans-serif, bottom third, punctuation-light — no dash glyphs in the caption track per U12). Camera locked (selfie-propped phone feel), zero cuts inside beats.

• ONE location (kitchen) beats 1-6; ONE declared donor-borrowed hard cut into living room at Beat 7, persisting through Beat 9. Wardrobe, framing distance, and speaker identity constant across the cut (VH2 satisfied via documented hard pivot, donor-cited).
• Floating stills appear (hook), exit (Beat 2 start), optional 2s return (Beat 8) — a closed visual loop, never mid-beat clutter.
• Caption track continuous across all beats and both locations.
• Hook variants: all three land on the identical handoff line and identical framing, so any variant cuts cleanly onto the shared Beat 2.

• First 5s: PASS on all three variants via face + on-screen asset (A: stills + OST card; B: red-circled printout prop; C: ticking YEAR counter) + native captions. Strategy = Fork 4 option 1 (speaker face + on-screen text) enriched with donor floating stills.
• Hook OST specs: A "same dose. different woman." (4 words, t=2.0-14s) · B printout "NORMAL" circled (prop-carried) · C "YEAR 1 → YEAR 7" counter (t=1-9s). All ≤12 words (VS2 pass). Assets persist ≥ full 5s (VS5 pass).
• U12 scan of viewer-visible on-screen copy: zero em/en dashes (caption track specified punctuation-light; arrow glyph in C counter is not a dash).

production_limitations.md is a sparse skeleton (<3 entries) → formal YS6/VH3 cross-check silent-skipped per the file's own heuristic. Tool-knowledge flags applied from avatar_tool_prompt_syntax.md instead:

1. Soul Cinema text rendering unreliable → ALL on-screen text/stills/cards in post (every beat).
2. Legible label/prop text in-render (Beats 1B, 6) → post composite or practical insert; Beat 6 routed hybrid (Marketing Studio closeup-product or real macro).
3. Long-take stability (Beat 4, 50s) → QC for drift; split-generation fallback with caption-covered join.
4. No trained Soul ID exists for speaker 2.1 → /higgsfield-soul-id training pass is a production prerequisite (speaker file carries generation specs, no reference_id).
5. Real-shoot fallback: the donor was a real one-person phone shoot; if Soul QC fails authenticity (too polished), the entire board reads as a real-shoot shot list unchanged except the Avatar-tool prompt fields.

Per-beat Soul Cinema prompts collated above (Beats 1A/1B/1C, 2-9); Beat 6 carries the hybrid Marketing-Studio/practical product-insert routing. All prompts share SOUL_ID kindled_2_1_recovered_patient (to be minted at Soul training) and the 9:16 kitchen/living-room scene grammar. Copy-paste ready per avatar_tool_prompt_syntax.md Soul conventions.

• VS1 (B-roll density): body beats 2-5 run ~0 B-roll per 106s — below the 1/30s floor. CONFIRMED-INTENTIONAL: donor-faithful steady-shot minimalism is the SEED's observed winning pattern ("no jump-cut overload; it forces you to listen"). Optional Beat 4 diagram-still and Beat 8 stills-flashback are the pressure valves if retention data disagrees.
• VS6 (cross-beat anchor adaptations): 3 logged (Beat 1B ← Anchor B results-technique; Beat 1B/D prop grammar without cut rhythm; Beat 4 ← Anchor C overlay pattern in restrained form). Rationales inline.
• VS3: every beat cites an anchor or logs an original-direction rationale (Beat 1C counter; Beat 5/9 bare-beat rationales).
• Echo pause-inflation note (v1.2): delivered runtime ≈ 3:03 (≈183s) vs word-derived 174.8-175.7s. A/C sit exactly AT the 174.8s word-derived donor ceiling, B is 0.9s over it, and the pause-delivered runtime is past it on all three. DECLARED at v1.2 (Zied-directed cold-audience product orientation + named-brand/link close: UMS +11 words, CTA +24 words) — never shaved. Pause-guard: hold the [pause] marks tight; do not pad.
