SEEDANCE 2.5 | TMD / MAX & JESS | DIRECT CONTINUATION FORMAT: One vertical 9:16 video, EXACTLY 30 seconds, five distinct cinematic shots with natural editorial cuts, native synchronized dialogue and environmental sound. 24 fps. No added music. REFERENCE LOCK (ALL MANDATORY): @Image1 MAX — preserve exact face, hair, age, body proportions and outfit. 65-year-old Australian, clean-shaven, NO glasses, NO beard. @Image2 JESS — preserve exact face, hair, natural skin texture, body proportions, pharmacy uniform and badge. Australian woman, about 35. @Image3 PHARMACY ENTRANCE — real entrance, glass door, glass panels, plants and entrance geometry. @Image4 PHARMACY WIDE VIEW — real room photographed from doorway toward reception; exact layout, distances and furnishings. @Image5 RECEPTION — real desk, wall, surfaces, plants and telephone. @Image6 COFFEE — two IDENTICAL plain kraft-brown takeaway cups with identical unmarked black lids in one beige moulded-pulp two-cup carrier. Never add print. @Image7 TMD LOGO — exact supplied Trichome Medicinal Dispensary emblem and lettering. Only on entrance glass door and adjacent glazing, positioned naturally according to @Image3; correct shape, colours, size and orientation. Fixed decals remain locked to glass during door movement. Natural reverse view from inside if physically appropriate. NEVER transfer the logo to coffee cups, bakery bag, clothes, furniture or elsewhere. @Audio1 MAX'S VOICE — precise mature, warm, slightly gravelly Australian voice. @Audio2 JESS'S VOICE — precise bright, friendly, playful Australian voice. @Image3, @Image4 and @Image5 show ONE AND THE SAME real pharmacy. Preserve its architecture and spatial geography; do not merge them into separate or invented rooms. SETTING & CONTINUITY: Sunny Saturday late morning, Trichome pharmacy, Hardgrave Road, West End, Brisbane, during opening hours. Front-of-house only. DIRECTLY CONTINUE the previous clip without resetting character locations or props. At the opening, Jess is BEHIND the reception desk with the coffee just handed to her, and the desk phone rings. She puts HER cup on her side of the counter and picks up the handset. On the customer side: ONE plain brown paper bakery bag, and the coffee carrier with ONE remaining cup. Max stands near the desk. He eventually takes his bag and remaining cup; the emptied cardboard carrier stays on the counter. Exactly TWO cups total, never duplicate or change hands magically. Jess's cup stays on her side of the desk. ABSOLUTE BLOCKING RULE: Jess remains BEHIND the reception desk for ALL 30 seconds, including the goodbye. No walking around the counter. Max is free to walk between counter and entrance, within the actual room. Through the real glass, show a lively Brisbane street: naturally moving pedestrians and cars driving on the LEFT, plausible reflections, sunlight and parallax. Passersby stay OUTSIDE. Only Max and Jess inside. TIMED SHOTS — TOTAL EXACTLY 30 SECONDS: SHOT 1 | 0:00–0:08 (8 s) | PHONE CALL / MAX LOOKS OUT Start on Jess behind the desk. She puts down her cup, answers the ringing desk phone and speaks, smiling, accurately lip-synced: JESS: "Yes, of course, no problem at all! We'll see you today at three. See you then!" While she speaks, show Max physically pick up his bakery bag FIRST and his own remaining coffee cup SECOND from the carrier, leaving the empty carrier on the customer-side counter. He walks to the real glass entrance, remains INSIDE, gazes at the active street and takes a small sip. Use a natural cut or reframing to show his action. Phone ringing stops on answering. Caller never heard. SHOT 2 | 0:08–0:13 (5 s) | JESS ADDRESSES MAX Cut to a fresh medium three-quarter camera angle on Jess. Still BEHIND the desk, she hangs up the phone, turns her head toward Max at the glass door and grins: JESS: "Sorry, Max! Where were we? Where'd you get that tan?" Max hears her, turns from the street and STARTS WALKING BACK toward the desk, without teleportation. SHOT 3 | 0:13–0:22 (9 s) | MAX'S HOLIDAY STORY Cut to moving waist-up medium shot, tracking Max from the entrance toward reception at his actual walking pace. He is carrying ONE kraft coffee cup and ONE bakery bag. He begins speaking WHILE WALKING, warm smile and natural gestures: MAX: "Just got back from holiday. Still got the energy, so I'm making the most of it. You'll be seeing plenty of me!" He ends near the counter. Jess stays behind it and listens silently; no phantom lip movements. SHOT 4 | 0:22–0:26 (4 s) | JESS REPLIES Different close-medium angle on Jess BEHIND her desk. She laughs genuinely and says: JESS: "Good. We'd love to see you every day!" Max smiles silently, turns and heads toward the exit. SHOT 5 | 0:26–0:30 (4 s) | NATURAL GOODBYE A new follow shot toward the authentic @Image3 entrance. Max walks to the door, glances back and raises his plain coffee cup in a small toast: MAX: "You too, Jess. See you soon!" He keeps the bakery bag secured, uses his free hand to open the real door and steps outside into daylight. Door chime sounds on opening. Finish with approximately one second of natural silent action after the line. Jess remains behind the desk, watching him leave. CAMERA / SHOT DESIGN: Real Sony FX3 with Sony FE 50mm f/1.4 GM lens, 24 fps, 180-degree shutter (approx. 1/48 s), vertical 9:16. Five DIFFERENT camera positions and framings; natural straight cuts, NOT one locked-off view or one impossible continuous take. Shot 1 prioritizes Jess's phone call and Max's walk to glass; shot 2 Jess; shot 3 tracks Max as he returns; shot 4 Jess's reaction; shot 5 Max leaving. Camera is a skilled human operator: subtle controlled handheld breathing, weight shifts, imperfect inertia, believable focus pulls; NOT floating, mechanical gimbal motion. No arbitrary zooming. Maintain consistent screen direction, door location and furniture positions. LOOK / CRITICAL PHOTOGRAPHIC REALISM: Authentic LIVE-ACTION footage, NOT synthetic AI video. Professional documentary look with restrained warm 1990s film colour, fine organic grain, subtle atmospheric haze, slightly lifted blacks and gentle highlight roll-off. Real optical depth of field: sharp, naturally detailed faces and softly separated but recognizable background. Subtle lens imperfections, realistic exposure fluctuations, plausible sensor noise, natural motion blur, believable reflections, daylight and shadow direction. Preserve exact skin pores, fine lines, wrinkles, real skin sheen, fine facial hairs, individual hair strands and structure, true fabric weave and kraft paper texture. No beauty retouching, waxy/plastic skin, fake HDR, oversharpening, CGI gloss, excessive blur or perfectly smooth camera moves. AUDIO / PERFORMANCE: @Audio1 belongs ONLY to Max; @Audio2 ONLY to Jess. Match their reference vocal identities and relaxed Australian accents. Every line is spoken EXACTLY as quoted, at plausible natural speed, with precise visible lip-sync. Only the active speaker moves lips; the listener reacts without mouthing words. No improvisation, extra dialogue, offscreen caller or voiceover. Quiet interior ambience, faint outdoor traffic, realistic footsteps, paper/cup handling, phone click and final door chime. No background music. STRICT NEGATIVES: Never alter actual architecture or invent historical photo walls, bulletin boards, new corridors, furniture or decoration. No staff/customers inside besides Max and Jess. No medication shelves, products, packaging, prescription bags, active displays or readable screens. No subtitles, overlays, posters, signs or random text. ONLY approved @Image7 logo on entrance glazing; never on the bag or cups. No character identity drift; no beard or glasses on Max; no wardrobe changes. No object teleportation, duplicates, discontinuous grip or impossible hand motions. Jess NEVER leaves her position behind reception.
