Professor High — THE COMEDY ENGINE — CE-001
Runtime: 25 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- THE MAXIMIZER — SWAPPABLE. Use the-maximizer-v1 if you have built it, or
cast ANY Cantina character who reads as: confident, decisive and completely
wrong — optimising for the biggest number.
- THE BUDTENDER — SWAPPABLE. Use the-budtender-v1 if you have built it, or
cast ANY Cantina character who reads as: apron and name tag, likeable, has
an answer for everything — never dishonest.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Nature-documentary. Professor High observes with genuine scientific
interest and zero judgment, the way a naturalist watches an animal do
something inexplicable. Completely deadpan. He never winks at the camera.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, mid-scene, mid-sentence. No title card, no
logo, no narration first. The very first frame is THE MAXIMIZER already
talking. Do not add any on-screen text before 0:15.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized generic dispensary counter — no real brand names,
logos, or recognizable storefront. No product visible anywhere. A backlit menu
board of names and percentages. Warm retail lighting. Professor High is cut in
from his lab and is never physically in the shop.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:04) COLD OPEN. Locked wide. THE MAXIMIZER at the menu board,
already mid-sentence, pointing.
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "—no, the other one. The thirty-one. Is there anything
higher than the thirty-one?"
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:04-0:09) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan,
direct to lens.
SAYS (PROF): "He has not read a single strain name. He does not know what
this is. He is scanning for one thing."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:09-0:15) Whip cut back. Shot-reverse-shot across the counter, then back
to Professor High for the last line.
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "And that's the strongest one you got?"
SAYS (BUDTENDER): "That's the biggest number we got."
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "Same thing."
SAYS (PROF): "It is not the same thing."
ON SCREEN: nothing
4. (0:15-0:22) Slow push-in on Professor High, deadpan. A single THC
distribution card enters the lower third.
SAYS: "Fewer than one in two hundred strains actually reaches thirty
percent. Average is twenty and a half. He is paying a premium for a point
and a half and a rounding error."
ON SCREEN: 1 IN 200
5. (0:22-0:25) Static chest-up, the faintest smile. Closing card.
SAYS: "Chaser or Reader? Comments."
ON SCREEN: CHASER OR READER?
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Use text ONLY on beats 4 and 5. Bold sans-serif, white
with heavy stroke, lower third, pineapple yellow #D98E04 on the key term. Keep
250px clear at the bottom and 120px at the top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Light nature-documentary bed — sparse strings. Voice
normalized loudest.
DO NOT: No smoking, no lit product, no cannabis paraphernalia in frame. No
medical claims. No real dispensary, producer, or lab names. No logos. Do not
depict anyone consuming.

Professor High — THE COMEDY ENGINE — CE-002
Runtime: 25 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- THE ORACLE — SWAPPABLE. Use the-oracle-v1 if you have built it, or cast ANY
Cantina character who reads as: reclined and generous, explains your own
experience to you with total confidence.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Professor High is a patient naturalist watching a confident creature be
confidently wrong. Deadpan, never cruel. THE ORACLE is utterly serene and
completely certain. Neither acknowledges the camera or the joke.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, mid-sentence. First frame is THE ORACLE
already talking. No title card, no narration first, no on-screen text before
0:08.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized generic living room — couch, low lamp, nothing
identifiable. No product or paraphernalia anywhere in frame. Professor High is
cut in from his lab and is never in the room.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:04) COLD OPEN. Locked wide. THE ORACLE reclined, gesturing
philosophically, caught mid-sentence.
SAYS (ORACLE): "—see, this one's a sativa, so it goes to your head. Indica
goes to your body. That's just science."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:04-0:08) Cut to Professor High, static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS: "It is not science. It is shelf labelling."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:08-0:16) Slow push-in, direct to lens. One terpene card in the lower
third.
SAYS: "Indica and sativa describe plant shape. Not effect. And myrcene —
the one most associated with sedation — leads nearly half of everything on
that shelf, whichever word is on the jar."
ON SCREEN: IT DESCRIBES PLANT SHAPE
4. (0:16-0:21) Split frame. THE ORACLE still talking, unaware. Professor High
unmoved on the other side.
SAYS (ORACLE): "—it's about the vibes of the plant, you feel me—"
SAYS (PROF): "He cannot hear me."
ON SCREEN: nothing
5. (0:21-0:25) Static chest-up, the faintest smile. Closing card.
SAYS: "Everyone knows an Oracle. Tag them."
ON SCREEN: TAG AN ORACLE
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Text ONLY on beats 3 and 5. Bold sans-serif, white with
heavy stroke, lower third, pineapple yellow #D98E04 on key terms. Keep 250px
clear at the bottom and 120px at the top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Light nature-documentary bed. Voice normalized loudest.
DO NOT: No smoking, no lit product, no paraphernalia in frame. No medical
claims. No real brand names or logos. Do not depict anyone consuming.
CE-003 — 25 seconds
Professor High — THE COMEDY ENGINE — CE-003
Runtime: 25 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- THE BUDTENDER — SWAPPABLE. Use the-budtender-v1 if you have built it, or
cast ANY Cantina character who reads as: apron and name tag, likeable, has
an answer for everything — never dishonest.
- THE FIRST-TIMER — SWAPPABLE. Use the-first-timer-v1 if you have built it, or
cast ANY Cantina character who reads as: small, upright and sincere, asks
the question nobody else will.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Warm and deadpan. Professor High has real sympathy for this person — the
joke is the industry, never the worker. THE BUDTENDER is sincere, friendly and
completely out of information.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on the counter exchange. First frame is
dialogue already happening. No title card, no narration first, no on-screen
text before 0:11.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized generic dispensary counter — no real brand names or
logos, no product visible. Warm retail lighting. Professor High cuts in from
his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Rapid shot-reverse-shot across the counter. THE
BUDTENDER holds unbreakable friendly eye contact throughout.
SAYS (BUDTENDER): "This one's fire."
SAYS (CUSTOMER): "What's in it?"
SAYS (BUDTENDER): "It's fire."
SAYS (CUSTOMER): "But what's in it—"
SAYS (BUDTENDER): "Fire."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:11) Cut to Professor High, static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS: "He is not lying. He believes this completely. He was handed forty
products this month and trained on none of them."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:11-0:20) Slow push-in, direct to lens. One terpene card enters.
SAYS: "So stop asking what's strong. Ask what the dominant terpene is.
Three of them lead eighty-six percent of everything back there — so the
answer is actually useful."
ON SCREEN: ASK: WHAT'S DOMINANT?
4. (0:20-0:23) Locked wide back on THE BUDTENDER. A long beat. Eye contact
never breaks.
SAYS (BUDTENDER): "...It's fire."
SAYS (PROF): "We will get there."
ON SCREEN: nothing
5. (0:23-0:25) Static chest-up on Professor High. Closing card.
SAYS: "Save this for the counter."
ON SCREEN: SAVE THIS
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Text ONLY on beats 3 and 5. Bold sans-serif, white with
heavy stroke, lower third. Keep 250px clear at bottom, 120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Light nature-documentary bed. Voice normalized loudest.
DO NOT: No smoking, no lit product, no paraphernalia. No medical claims. No
real dispensary, producer, or lab names. No logos. Never portray the budtender
as stupid or malicious.
CE-004 — 20 seconds
Professor High — THE COMEDY ENGINE — CE-004
Runtime: 20 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- No supporting cast — Professor High alone.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Pure nature-documentary. Professor High narrates an ordinary domestic
scene with the gravity of a wildlife observation. Deadpan, warm, never mocking.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD with NO dialogue at all. First four seconds
are pure visual — a cupboard opening and closing. No title card, no narration,
no on-screen text before 0:14.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized generic kitchen at night — dim, single overhead light,
a wall clock clearly readable. Nothing cannabis-related in frame. The person is
shown only as hands, silhouette and back-of-head — never an identifiable face.
Professor High cuts in from his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:04) COLD OPEN, silent. Locked wide. A hand opens a cupboard, closes
it, opens it again. Wall clock reads 1:04 AM.
SAYS: nothing
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:04-0:09) Cut to Professor High, static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS: "This decision will take him nineteen minutes. The options have not
changed since he checked four minutes ago."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:09-0:14) Whip cut. Refrigerator door swings open, cold light spills out,
nothing inside looks appealing. Clock now reads 1:11 AM.
SAYS: "He knows there is nothing in there. He will open it twice more."
ON SCREEN: nothing
4. (0:14-0:18) Slow push-in on Professor High, direct to lens.
SAYS: "This is myrcene. Nearly half of all cannabis, and appetite is the
most consistently reported thing about it. He is not indecisive. He is
chemically thorough."
ON SCREEN: HE IS CHEMICALLY THOROUGH
5. (0:18-0:20) Locked wide back in the kitchen. A cereal box on the counter.
Clock reads 1:23 AM.
SAYS: "It was always cereal."
ON SCREEN: nothing
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Text ONLY on beat 4. Bold sans-serif, white with heavy
stroke, lower third. Keep 250px clear at bottom, 120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Sparse nature-documentary bed, room tone audible. Voice
normalized loudest.
DO NOT: No smoking, no lit product, no paraphernalia. No medical claims. No
real brand names or logos. Do not depict anyone consuming or visibly
intoxicated — the scene is entirely about the decision.
CE-005 — 25 seconds
Professor High — THE COMEDY ENGINE — CE-005
Runtime: 25 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- THE ORACLE — SWAPPABLE. Use the-oracle-v1 if you have built it, or cast ANY
Cantina character who reads as: reclined and generous, explains your own
experience to you with total confidence.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Affectionate roast. Professor High is fond of this person and will not
let the claim stand. Deadpan, warm, never contemptuous. THE ORACLE is sincere
and slightly proud.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, mid-brag. First frame is THE ORACLE already
talking. No title card, no narration first, no on-screen text before 0:09.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized generic living room — couch, low lamp, nothing
identifiable, no product or paraphernalia. Professor High cuts in from his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide. THE ORACLE leaning in, already
mid-thought.
SAYS (ORACLE): "—honestly at this point it barely does anything to me. I
think I'm just built different."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:09) Cut to Professor High, static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS: "He is not built different. His receptors are."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:09-0:18) Slow push-in, direct to lens. A receptor diagram enters the
lower third, receiver count visibly reducing.
SAYS: "Consistent exposure, so the brain quietly keeps fewer CB1 receivers
available. Same amount, fewer places to land. That is a thermostat, not a
personality trait — and the fix is time, not something stronger."
ON SCREEN: A THERMOSTAT, NOT A FLEX
4. (0:18-0:22) Locked wide back on THE ORACLE, still going, unaware.
SAYS (ORACLE): "—I might have to move up to concentrates—"
SAYS (PROF): "He is moving up to concentrates."
ON SCREEN: nothing
5. (0:22-0:25) Static chest-up on Professor High, faintest smile.
SAYS: "Tag him. Gently."
ON SCREEN: TAG HIM. GENTLY.
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Text ONLY on beats 3 and 5. Bold sans-serif, white with
heavy stroke, lower third. Keep 250px clear at bottom, 120px at top.

TONE: Warm and protective, documentary framing intact. This is the one episode
where Professor High is openly on someone's side. Never mocking her — the other
three archetypes are the joke.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on her question and the silence that follows.
No title card, no narration first, no on-screen text before 0:16.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized generic dispensary interior — no real brand names or
logos, no product visible. Warm retail lighting. Professor High cuts in from
his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide. THE FIRST-TIMER small and upright at a
counter, clutching a receipt. She asks. The whole room freezes. Hold the
silence a beat too long.
SAYS (FIRST-TIMER): "Sorry — what does any of this actually mean?"
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:10) Cut to Professor High, static chest-up, warm.
SAYS: "She just asked the only smart question in the building. Watch what
happens."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:10-0:16) Whip cut between the three archetypes, each giving a useless
answer.
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "...It's a thirty-one."
SAYS (ORACLE): "It's a sativa, so—"
SAYS (BUDTENDER): "It's fire."
SAYS (PROF): "Nobody here knows."
ON SCREEN: nothing
4. (0:16-0:25) Slow push-in on Professor High, warm, direct to lens.
SAYS: "So here is the real answer. Blue Dream. Most popular strain there is,
myrcene-dominant, twenty and a half percent THC — dead average. And average
is exactly right on day one."
ON SCREEN: AVERAGE IS EXACTLY RIGHT
5. (0:25-0:28) Static chest-up, warm. Timer graphic.
SAYS: "Two puffs. Wait twenty minutes. Nobody has ever regretted going
slow."
ON SCREEN: 2 PUFFS. WAIT 20.
6. (0:28-0:30) Locked wide back on THE FIRST-TIMER. A small, steady nod.
SAYS (PROF): "She's already ahead of three people in this room. Follow — I
answer these."
ON SCREEN: nothing
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Text ONLY on beats 4 and 5. Bold sans-serif, white with
heavy stroke, lower third. Keep 250px clear at bottom, 120px at top.

consuming.

CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- THE ORACLE — SWAPPABLE. Use the-oracle-v1 if you have built it, or cast ANY

experience to you with total confidence.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Completely deadpan on both sides. THE ORACLE is genuinely calm in beat 1
and genuinely vacant in beat 3 — no mugging, no comedy faces. The humour is in
the hard cut and the identical framing.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on the line. No title card, no setup, no
narration first. No on-screen text before 0:09.
CRITICAL — THE MATCH CUT: Beats 1 and 3 must use the IDENTICAL camera position,
framing, lighting and chair. Only the character's state changes. The comedy is
entirely in the sameness of the frame.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized generic living room — couch or armchair, low lamp,
nothing identifiable, no product or paraphernalia anywhere. Professor High cuts
in from his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:03) COLD OPEN. Locked wide. THE ORACLE seated, composed, checking a
watch, entirely unbothered.
SAYS (ORACLE): "Yeah, this edible ain't doing anything."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:03-0:06) Cut to Professor High, static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS: "Forty minutes."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:06-0:09) HARD CUT back to the IDENTICAL locked wide. Same chair, same
framing, same light. THE ORACLE has not moved but is completely gone — eyes
vacant, absolutely still. No comedy face.
SAYS: nothing
ON SCREEN: nothing
4. (0:09-0:14) Slow push-in on Professor High, direct to lens.
SAYS: "Your liver turns THC into a different compound before you feel it.
That is the delay. That is also why it does not stop where you expected."
ON SCREEN: YOUR LIVER CHANGED THE DRUG
5. (0:14-0:15) Static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS: "Every time."
ON SCREEN: nothing
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Text ONLY on beat 4. Bold sans-serif, white with heavy
stroke, lower third. Keep 250px clear at bottom, 120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Near-silence under beats 1-3 — let the hard cut land
with no music. Bed enters on beat 4.
DO NOT: No smoking, no lit product, no edible or packaging visible in frame, no
paraphernalia. No medical claims. No real brand names. Do not show anyone
consuming — beat 1 is after the fact.

CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- THE MAXIMIZER — SWAPPABLE. Use the-maximizer-v1 if you have built it, or

wrong — optimising for the biggest number.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: The character plays it completely straight and genuinely worried — never
comic panic, never mugging. Professor High is warm and unbothered, the way a
friend is when they know you are fine. Never mocking. The audience should
recognise themselves and feel seen, not laughed at.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, mid-spiral. First frame is THE MAXIMIZER
already whispering. No title card, no narration first, no on-screen text before
0:09.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized generic living room at night — couch, one lamp, a
refrigerator audible but out of frame. Nothing cannabis-related visible, no
product, no paraphernalia. Professor High cuts in from his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide. THE MAXIMIZER rigid on a couch,
wide-eyed, whispering, barely moving.
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "Do you think they know? They know. Why is the fridge
doing that. Has it always done that."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:09) Cut to Professor High, static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS: "The fridge has always done that. He has lived here four years."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:09-0:16) Slow push-in, warm, direct to lens.
SAYS: "This is a ratio problem, not a character flaw. High THC with very
little limonene or linalool beside it is the pattern that produces this —
and limonene only leads about one in four strains."
ON SCREEN: A RATIO, NOT A FLAW
4. (0:16-0:19) Locked wide back, completely unchanged from beat 1.
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "...Should I turn it off."
SAYS (PROF): "Do not turn off the fridge."
ON SCREEN: nothing
5. (0:19-0:20) Static chest-up on Professor High, faint smile.
SAYS: "Which one of you is this?"
ON SCREEN: nothing
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Text ONLY on beat 3. Bold sans-serif, white with heavy
stroke, lower third. Keep 250px clear at bottom, 120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Near-silence with a faint refrigerator hum under beats
1-2. Warm bed enters on beat 3.
DO NOT: No smoking, no lit product, no paraphernalia. No medical claims — this
is an observation about terpene ratios, not advice about anxiety. No real brand
names. Do not depict anyone consuming.

- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a

rules: /social/cast
TONE: Professor High agrees with the man while correcting him — warm, never
condescending. This episode is on the audience's side against the industry, not
against the audience. THE ORACLE is genuinely wistful, not a joke target.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, mid-complaint. First frame is THE ORACLE
already talking. No title card, no narration first, no on-screen text before
0:10.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized generic living room — couch, low lamp, nothing
identifiable, no product or paraphernalia. Professor High cuts in from his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide. THE ORACLE mid-complaint, nostalgic,
gesturing.
SAYS (ORACLE): "—nah, back in the day you'd get a bag, half of it was stems,
and you'd share ONE joint with four people and be done."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:10) Cut to Professor High, static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS: "He is right, and he is right for the wrong reason."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:10-0:20) Slow push-in, direct to lens. One THC card in the lower third.
SAYS: "The weed did not get stronger by as much as everyone thinks. Average
is twenty and a half percent and fewer than one in two hundred strains
reaches thirty. What actually changed is that everything else got bred out."
ON SCREEN: 20.5% AVERAGE
4. (0:20-0:26) Static chest-up, neutral.
SAYS: "Chasing one number narrowed the whole shelf. He is not nostalgic for
weaker weed. He is nostalgic for variety, and he is correct to be."
ON SCREEN: HE MISSES VARIETY
5. (0:26-0:30) Static chest-up, deadpan. Closing card with the domain.
SAYS: "Go look up what you smoked in 2012. This is why I'm high."

Professor High — THE VIRAL BETS — VB-002
Runtime: 30 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- THE MAXIMIZER — SWAPPABLE. Use the-maximizer-v1 if you have built it, or
cast ANY Cantina character who reads as: confident, decisive and completely
wrong — optimising for the biggest number.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Completely clinical and procedural, like a real assessment. Professor
High is not mocking — he is administering. The comedy comes entirely from the
formality of the frame meeting the informality of the subject. Deadpan both
sides. This is the one episode where Professor High is IN the scene rather than
cut in, because the test is the setting.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on the procedure already underway. First frame
is a clipboard and a seated subject. No title card, no narration, no on-screen
text before 0:11.
ENVIRONMENT: A stripped, clinical assessment room — a plain table, two chairs,
flat even light. Deliberately NOT the lab. Nothing cannabis-related visible, no
product, no paraphernalia. Institutional and slightly cold.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide two-shot. Professor High with a clipboard
and a stopwatch. THE MAXIMIZER seated opposite, uneasy.
SAYS (PROF): "Question one. Name the terpene in the jar you bought last
week."
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "...It was a thirty-one."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:11) Shot-reverse-shot, deadpan on both sides.
SAYS (PROF): "That is a number. Question two. Name any terpene."
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "...Indica?"
SAYS (PROF): "That is a shelf."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:11-0:20) Slow push-in on Professor High, direct to lens. A three-name
card enters the lower third.
SAYS: "There are three that lead eighty-six percent of everything on the
market. Myrcene. Limonene. Caryophyllene. If you know those three names, you
can read almost any menu in the country."
ON SCREEN: MYRCENE · LIMONENE · CARYOPHYLLENE
4. (0:20-0:26) Two-shot. Professor High lowers the clipboard.
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "...Do I pass?"
SAYS (PROF): "You now know more than you did ninety seconds ago. That is the
whole test."
ON SCREEN: nothing
5. (0:26-0:30) Static chest-up, deadpan. Closing card with the domain.
SAYS: "Take the test on your own jar. This is why I'm high."

Runtime: 25 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- THE ORACLE — SWAPPABLE. Use the-oracle-v1 if you have built it, or cast ANY
Cantina character who reads as: reclined and generous, explains your own
experience to you with total confidence.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Flat, patient, absolutely certain. Professor High repeats "look it up"
without emotion — the repetition is the joke. THE ORACLE is defensive and
increasingly less confident. Neither raises their voice.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, mid-argument. First frame is THE ORACLE
already making the claim. No title card, no narration first, no on-screen text
before 0:09.
CRITICAL — THE LOOKUP SHOT: Beat 3 must show a screen filling the frame with a
clean, readable strain page — a strain name and a clearly legible "Dominant
terpene: Limonene" line. Generic web layout in brand colours. This shot is the
punchline and it must be legible at a glance.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized generic living room — couch, low lamp, a laptop or
tablet within reach. Nothing cannabis-related visible, no product, no
paraphernalia. Professor High cuts in from his lab except during the lookup.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide. THE ORACLE mid-argument, confident.
SAYS (ORACLE): "—Sour D is a heavy myrcene strain, everyone knows that,
that's why it's so—"
SAYS (PROF, off screen): "Look it up."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:09) Shot-reverse-shot, deadpan.
SAYS (ORACLE): "I don't need to look it up."
SAYS (PROF): "Look it up."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:09-0:16) Slow push-in. A screen turns toward camera and fills the frame.
A strain page is legible, dominant terpene reading Limonene.
SAYS (PROF): "Limonene. Not myrcene. Has been the entire time you have been
saying that."
ON SCREEN: LIMONENE
4. (0:16-0:21) Two-shot. THE ORACLE visibly deflating.
SAYS (ORACLE): "...That's a typo."
SAYS (PROF): "It is not a typo."
ON SCREEN: nothing
5. (0:21-0:25) Static chest-up on Professor High, deadpan. Closing card with

TONE: Direct, warm, efficient. No greeting, no preamble, no "great question."
He starts reading and does not stop. This is education grammar, so on-screen
text is expected — but keep it to the key term.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on him reading the comment aloud. No title
card, no "hey everyone," no intro.
ENVIRONMENT: Working research lab. Dark pine-green backdrop, out-of-focus
shelving and glassware. The submitted comment stays pinned at the top of frame
for the whole video.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:04) Static chest-up. He is already reading. The comment is pinned at
the top of frame.
SAYS: "'Why does the same strain hit different every single time?'"
ON SCREEN: the pinned comment
2. (0:04-0:14) Slow push-in, direct to lens. One card in the lower third.
SAYS: "Three things move, and none of them are the strain. Your tolerance
that week. What you ate. And whether the jar was fresh — terpenes evaporate,
so an old eighth is chemically not the same eighth."
ON SCREEN: TERPENES EVAPORATE
3. (0:14-0:18) Static chest-up, neutral.
SAYS: "It is the same strain. It is not the same chemistry."

- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a

TONE: Deadpan and even-handed. Neither type is mocked — the Chaser is having a
great time and the Reader is not smug. The audience must be able to claim
either one without embarrassment, or the taxonomy dies.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start on the split frame and the line together. No title
card. On-screen text starts at 0:05 and is only ever the label word.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized generic dispensary counter, shown as a clean vertical
split — the same counter twice, one figure in each half. No real brand names,
no product visible. Warm retail lighting. Professor High voices over
throughout and appears only on the final beat.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) Locked wide. Vertical split frame: THE MAXIMIZER on the left,
THE FIRST-TIMER on the right, same counter, doing opposite things.
SAYS (PROF): "There are two kinds of people at a dispensary and you already
know which one you are."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:11) Slow push-in on the left panel; right panel dims.
SAYS (PROF): "The Chaser reads one number. The biggest one. He has never
read a strain name in his life and he is having a great time."
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "Thirty-one."
ON SCREEN: CHASER
3. (0:11-0:17) Slow push-in on the right panel; left panel dims.
SAYS (PROF): "The Reader looks at the panel. Knows what myrcene does. Buys
the boring number on purpose, and gets the night she actually wanted."
ON SCREEN: READER
4. (0:17-0:20) Cut to Professor High, static chest-up, deadpan. Closing card.
SAYS: "Chaser or Reader. Comments. This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: CHASER OR READER?
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Single large label word centred on beats 2 and 3 — this
is the exception to the comedy no-text rule, because the words ARE the payload.
Pineapple yellow #D98E04. Keep 250px clear at bottom, 120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Light bed with a distinct two-note sting on each label
reveal — the same sting every time this taxonomy appears in any future video.
DO NOT: No smoking, no lit product, no paraphernalia. No medical claims. No
real brand names or logos. Never portray the Chaser as stupid — he is happy and
uninformed, and the audience must be able to claim him.

TONE: THE ORACLE pitches with total corporate sincerity, as if in a real
meeting. Professor High reads the absurd names completely flatly — no comic
emphasis, no smirk. The flatness is the joke.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, mid-pitch. First frame is THE ORACLE already
proposing a name. No title card, no narration first, no on-screen text before
0:11.
FILL BEFORE SHOOTING: Beat 3 contains [DATA: ...] tokens. Replace each with a
genuinely absurd REAL strain name verified to exist in the database. Do not
invent names — the joke depends entirely on them being real and searchable.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized generic meeting room — a table, a whiteboard, flat
office light. Deliberately corporate and mundane. Nothing cannabis-related
visible. Professor High cuts in from his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide. THE ORACLE standing at a whiteboard,
pitching with total sincerity. A long silence after the line.
SAYS (ORACLE): "—okay, hear me out. Gorilla Glue. But it's number four."
[beat] "Because there were three."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:11) Cut to Professor High, static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS: "This is how strains are named. There is no committee. There is no
standard. There is a guy."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:11-0:19) Slow push-in. He reads from a clipboard, completely flat.
SAYS: "[NAME 1]. [NAME 2]. [NAME 3]. Every one of those is real, in the
database, and sold at a counter to an adult."
ON SCREEN: ALL REAL. ALL FOR SALE.
4. (0:19-0:23) Static chest-up, direct to lens.
SAYS: "The name tells you nothing. The panel tells you everything. And only
one of those is regulated."

ON SCREEN: MYRCENE — NEARLY HALF
3. (0:09-0:13) Static chest-up, direct to lens, chart gone.

ON SCREEN: HIGH THC = LESS HIGH
2. (0:02-0:09) Slow push-in. One brow raised, skeptical. He slides a THC

SAYS: "Chasing the number builds tolerance faster, and fewer than one in
two hundred strains even reaches thirty percent. You are paying more to
feel less."
ON SCREEN: PAYING MORE TO FEEL LESS

It does not."

it is also the dominant terpene in about one in seven strains."
ON SCREEN: CARYOPHYLLENE = ABOUT 1 IN 7 STRAINS

terpene, driving the same broad effect direction. You bought variety.
You got a monoculture."

2. (0:04-0:16) neutral, calm + slow push-in + lab notebook overlay

3. (0:16-0:30) neutral, gesturing at distribution + whip cut to + distribution chart with split
SAYS: "Limonene is the second most common dominant terpene — a quarter of all
cannabis. Which means a quarter of the shelf has it doing real work, and
three quarters of it does not. If your strain came from the wrong side
of that split while the THC ran high, this is the predictable result."
ON SCREEN: LIMONENE DOMINATES 25.4%
4. (0:30-0:44) skeptical, one brow raised + static chest-up + THC distribution with average marker
SAYS: "And the number nobody checks is the one that matters here. The average
strain is twenty and a half percent. If you bought something in the high
twenties because higher sounded better, you moved the ratio against
yourself without ever seeing the terpene panel."

5. (0:44-0:55) excited, crown perked, leaning in + slow push-in + comparison card

Runtime: 60 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- No supporting cast — Professor High alone.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Precise and matter-of-fact. A researcher walking through a result. Sincere
throughout, never winking at the camera or acknowledging that the premise is
funny.
ENVIRONMENT: Working research lab. Dark pine-green backdrop, out-of-focus shelving,
glassware and papers behind him. The submitted comment stays pinned at the
top of frame for the whole video.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:04) neutral + static chest-up + submitted comment pinned top
SAYS: "Nothing for thirty minutes, then everything at once. This one is not
about the strain at all."
ON SCREEN: NOTHING. THEN EVERYTHING.
2. (0:04-0:18) excited, crown perked + slow push-in + two-path diagram
SAYS: "When you inhale, THC crosses into your blood in the lungs and reaches
your brain in a couple of minutes. Straight line. When you eat it, it
takes a detour through your liver first — and the liver changes it."
ON SCREEN: INHALED = DIRECT. EATEN = DETOUR.
3. (0:18-0:34) neutral, gesturing at diagram + whip cut to + molecule conversion graphic
SAYS: "Your liver converts THC into a different compound, 11-hydroxy-THC. Same
plant, different molecule, and it crosses into the brain more readily
than the one you started with. That is the actual reason edibles feel
like a different substance. Because chemically, they are."
ON SCREEN: 11-HYDROXY-THC
4. (0:34-0:48) neutral, calm + static chest-up + onset curve, two lines
SAYS: "The delay is just digestion. Full stomach, slow. Empty stomach, fast
and sharp. Which is why the same ten milligrams can be a pleasant
evening one day and a situation the next, with nothing about the product
having changed."
ON SCREEN: THE DELAY IS DIGESTION
5. (0:48-0:57) skeptical, direct to lens + slow push-in + timer graphic
SAYS: "So the rule is not about willpower. Take the dose, then do not touch
anything for two hours. The thirty-minute redose is the single most
common way this goes wrong."
ON SCREEN: WAIT 2 HOURS. NOT 30 MIN.
6. (0:57-1:00) neutral + static chest-up + closing submission card
SAYS: "Save this before your next edible. Describe yours below."

Runtime: 45 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- No supporting cast — Professor High alone.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Flat and dry. The comedy is the situation, not the delivery. Sincere
throughout, never winking at the camera or acknowledging that the premise is
funny.
ENVIRONMENT: Working research lab staged like a small set. Dark pine-green backdrop,
out-of-focus shelving and glassware. The terpene character shares the frame
with Professor High.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:04) Professor High, hushed, low light + static chest-up + dim lab, mostly shadow
SAYS: PROF: *(quietly)* "There is one more. Almost nobody has met her."
ON SCREEN: ONE MORE
2. (0:04-0:16) Professor High, quiet + slow push-in + rarity chart, near-invisible sliver
SAYS: PROF: "Linalool. The lavender one. He leads about one in sixty-six
strains. One and a half percent."
ON SCREEN: LINALOOL — ABOUT 1 IN 66
3. (0:16-0:26) LINALOOL, muted lavender, barely lit + locked wide + shadow-heavy frame
SAYS: LINALOOL: *(softly)* "People say my name when they mean..." *(trails
off)* PROF: "She does that."
ON SCREEN: (no caption)
4. (0:26-0:38) Professor High, neutral, direct to lens + static chest-up + shortlist card
SAYS: PROF: "Here is what matters. Every time someone tells me they had the
best sleep of their life — this is usually who they met. And they almost
never find her again, because there are thirty-seven doors and nobody
labels them."
ON SCREEN: 1 IN 66. NONE LABELED.
5. (0:38-0:45) Professor High, warm + slow push-in + closing card
SAYS: PROF: "So if you ever find one, write it down. Save this. That is the
whole lesson."
ON SCREEN: WRITE IT DOWN

SAYS: "Terpinolene-dominant. Four and a half percent of all cannabis. You like
the rare texture in music, you got the rare terpene in cannabis. That is
not a coincidence, that is the match working."
ON SCREEN: TERPINOLENE — 4.5%

About one in seven strains, and four of the top six in the country."

is why."
ON SCREEN: SAME TOP 5. DIFFERENT STRAIN.
2. (0:04-0:14) neutral, gesturing between stacks + slow push-in + two stacks center
SAYS: "Same five artists, same order. If the match only read the names, these
two would get the same answer. They did not."
ON SCREEN: IDENTICAL LISTS
3. (0:14-0:26) excited, crown perked + whip cut to + weighting graphic, three factors
SAYS: "Because the top five is the least interesting thing about a listening

more than what you save."
ON SCREEN: WHAT YOU SKIP MATTERS MORE
4. (0:26-0:38) neutral, two cards in frame + static chest-up + two strain reveal cards
SAYS: "One of them got a myrcene-dominant strain. The other got limonene. Same
stated taste, different actual behavior, different chemistry. That gap

not what you say."
ON SCREEN: BEHAVIOR ≠ STATED TASTE

3. (0:08-0:20) neutral, direct to lens + static chest-up + three-item card
SAYS: "Unlabeled product is the least predictable category in cannabis, and
not for the reason people assume. It is not that it is stronger. It is
that there is no terpene panel, no tested THC figure, and often no

receivers it keeps available. Same gram, fewer places for it to land."
ON SCREEN: CB1 DOWNREGULATION
4. (0:22-0:32) skeptical, one brow raised + slow push-in + escalation graphic
SAYS: "Which is also why buying higher and higher THC does not fix it. You are
feeding the exact process causing the problem. The thing that actually
resets it is time — research suggests receptor density begins recovering
within days of stopping."
ON SCREEN: HIGHER THC FEEDS THE PROBLEM

Budtender Court
Full pack with beat tables, hooks, and captions →BC-001 — 60 seconds
Professor High — BUDTENDER COURT — BC-001
Runtime: 60 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- No supporting cast — Professor High alone.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Precise and matter-of-fact. A researcher walking through a result. Sincere
throughout, never winking at the camera or acknowledging that the premise is
funny.
ENVIRONMENT: The lab staged as a courtroom. Dark pine-green backdrop, out-of-focus
shelving. Professor High wears a judge's robe OVER the lab coat — the lab
coat stays visible. A case number card and the submission screenshot share
the frame.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) neutral, judge robe over lab coat, gavel hit + static chest-up + case number card
SAYS: "Budtender Court is now in session. Case number zero zero one."
ON SCREEN: BUDTENDER COURT — CASE #001
2. (0:05-0:18) neutral, reading from clipboard + slow push-in + submission screenshot
SAYS: "The charge. Quote: 'this is the strongest sativa we have, it's twenty-
eight percent.' End quote. The defendant is that sentence."
ON SCREEN: THE DEFENDANT IS A SENTENCE
3. (0:18-0:34) neutral, gesturing at chart + whip cut to + THC distribution chart
SAYS: "Evidence. THC percentage measures one compound's concentration. It does
not measure intensity, duration, or character of effect. The average
strain is twenty and a half percent, and only about one in ten clears
twenty-five."
ON SCREEN: AVG 20.5% — ONLY 1 IN 10 CLEARS 25%
4. (0:34-0:48) skeptical, one brow raised + static chest-up + two-claim breakdown card
SAYS: "Further evidence. 'Sativa' describes plant morphology, not effect. So
the sentence contains two claims, and neither one survives contact with
the data. It is a strong number attached to a meaningless category."
ON SCREEN: TWO CLAIMS. NEITHER SURVIVES.
5. (0:48-0:56) neutral, gavel hit, VERDICT stamp lands + slow push-in + stamp animation
SAYS: "Verdict. Guilty of misinformation in the first degree."

2. (0:05-0:16) neutral, reading clipboard + slow push-in + submission screenshot
SAYS: "The charge. Quote: 'take some CBD, it cancels out your THC high.' A
sentence roughly half the internet believes."
ON SCREEN: "CBD CANCELS THC"
3. (0:16-0:32) neutral, gesturing + whip cut to + receptor diagram
SAYS: "Evidence. CBD does not bind CB1 the way THC does. It is not competing
for the same seat and knocking THC out of it. What it appears to do is
modulate the receptor — changing how it responds rather than blocking
it."
ON SCREEN: MODULATES. DOESN'T BLOCK.
4. (0:32-0:48) excited, crown perked + static chest-up + comparison card
SAYS: "So does CBD cancel a high? No. Can it change the character of one —
that is what the research points toward, and it is why the two feel
different together than apart. The claim is directionally onto something
and mechanically wrong."
ON SCREEN: DIRECTIONALLY RIGHT. MECHANICALLY WRONG.
5. (0:48-0:57) neutral, gavel hit, VERDICT stamp + slow push-in + stamp animation

3. (0:14-0:28) neutral, gesturing at chart + whip cut to + distribution chart
SAYS: "Evidence. Sour Diesel — sold as a daytime sativa, limonene-dominant,

with sedation, dominates forty-five point eight percent of all cannabis,
across every shelf label there is."
ON SCREEN: MYRCENE IS ON EVERY SHELF
4. (0:28-0:38) skeptical, one brow raised + static chest-up + coin-flip graphic

Professor High — LAB LOGS — LAB-001
Runtime: 45 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- No supporting cast — Professor High alone.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Hushed and intimate, like a diary entry not meant for an audience. Sincere
throughout, never winking at the camera or acknowledging that the premise is
funny.
ENVIRONMENT: The lab at night. Much darker than other shows — mostly shadow, lit by a
single candle and the glow of a screen. Papers scattered, glassware, a
visibly worked-in desk. Intimate, close, conspiratorial.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:03) neutral, low light, candle flicker + static chest-up + monospace lower-third snaps in
SAYS: "Lab log two four seven. Three seventeen AM."

2. (0:03-0:12) neutral, quiet intensity + slow push-in + data table on screen
SAYS: "I have been running terpene dominance across the whole database tonight
and I need to say this out loud to somebody. Three terpenes. That is it.
That is the whole plant."
ON SCREEN: THREE TERPENES. THAT'S IT.
3. (0:12-0:26) excited, crown perked, writing annotation + whip cut to + handwritten annotation over chart
SAYS: "Myrcene leads forty-five point eight percent. Limonene, twenty-five
point four. Caryophyllene, just over fifteen. Add them up. Eighty-six
percent of every strain we have chemically classified is led by one of
three molecules."
ON SCREEN: 3 TERPENES = 86%
4. (0:26-0:38) neutral, sitting back + static chest-up + name cloud collapsing into three
SAYS: "Thousands of strain names. Decades of breeding. Every clever thing
anyone has ever put on a jar. And underneath all of it, three molecules
are doing the work."
ON SCREEN: THOUSANDS OF NAMES. 3 MOLECULES.
5. (0:38-0:45) neutral, leaning out of light + slow push-in + closing card

3. (0:12-0:24) neutral, annotating + whip cut to + handwritten annotation over top-ten list

one strain in our top ten clears twenty-five percent THC. The most

4. (0:24-0:38) excited, crown perked + static chest-up + two-column comparison

rules: /social/cast
TONE: Nature-documentary. Professor High observes with genuine scientific
interest and zero judgment. Completely deadpan. He never winks at the camera
and never acknowledges that anything funny is happening.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on THE MAXIMIZER already talking. No title
card, no logo, no narration first. No on-screen text until the final beat.
IMPORTANT — BEAT 3 IS A HARD CUT: No dissolve, no wipe, no time-lapse, no
transition of any kind. Shot 3 must use the EXACT same camera position, lens
and framing as shot 1 — only the character has changed. The abruptness is
the joke.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized generic living room — plain couch, blank wall, one
lamp. No brand names or logos. NOTHING is ever eaten, held, lit, or consumed
on camera at any point. No food, no packaging, no product in frame.
Professor High is cut in from his lab and is never in the room.

SAYS (PROF): "It is not, yet. He swallowed it. That means it goes to his
liver first, and his liver does not return it unchanged."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:09-0:14) HARD CUT back to the couch. IDENTICAL framing to shot 1. The
Maximizer is now rigid, upright, eyes enormous, staring past camera.

CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- THE FIRST-TIMER — SWAPPABLE. Use the-first-timer-v1 if you have built it, or
cast ANY Cantina character who reads as: small, upright and sincere, asks
the question nobody else will.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Nature-documentary, deadpan. IMPORTANT — the First-Timer is never
humiliated. She is sympathetic and did her best. Professor High is not
mocking her; he is explaining why care was not enough.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on THE FIRST-TIMER already talking. No title
card, no logo. No on-screen text until the final beat.
IMPORTANT — BEAT 3 IS A HARD CUT: identical camera position, lens and framing
to shot 1. No transition of any kind.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized plain kitchen table, blank wall behind. No brands or
logos. NOTHING is eaten, held, cut, or consumed on camera. No food or
packaging in frame at any point. Professor High is cut in from his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:04) COLD OPEN. Locked wide. THE FIRST-TIMER sitting upright and
composed at the table, talking to someone off-screen, slightly proud of
herself.
SAYS (FIRST-TIMER): "I'm being smart about it. I only took half."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:04-0:09) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS (PROF): "Half of a piece is not half of a dose. Nothing in there was
mixed evenly. She has taken somewhere between a little and all of it."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:09-0:13) HARD CUT. IDENTICAL framing to shot 1. Same chair. She is now
gripping the edge of the table with both hands, very still, very quiet.
SAYS (FIRST-TIMER): "It was the all of it one."
ON SCREEN: nothing
4. (0:13-0:15) Professor High, static chest-up, gentle rather than smug.
SAYS (PROF): "It usually is. This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: THIS IS WHY I'M HIGH
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Final beat only. Bold sans-serif, white, heavy stroke,

is, like, insane."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:12) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan,

SAYS (PROF): "His tolerance is to inhaled cannabis. This did not go into
his lungs. It went into his liver, which produces a different compound
entirely. He has a tolerance to a different molecule."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:12-0:16) HARD CUT. IDENTICAL framing to shot 1. The Oracle is now flat

This edible ain't shit."

2. (0:05-0:11) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.

fast it arrives, not how much of it arrives. He has made it faster."

TONE: Nature-documentary, deadpan. The Old Head is bewildered, not angry.
Professor High is describing retail behaviour the way a naturalist describes a
mating display.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on THE OLD HEAD already talking to himself. No
title card, no logo. No on-screen text until the final beat.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized generic dispensary interior — very bright, very
minimal, blond wood, empty display plinths, a backlit menu board of names and
percentages. NO product visible anywhere in the entire video. No brand names,
no logos, no recognizable storefront. Professor High is cut in from his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide. THE OLD HEAD standing in the middle of
the empty bright space, turning slowly in place, talking to himself.
SAYS (OLD HEAD): "Where is it. Where is the actual weed."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:12) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS (PROF): "It is behind the counter, in a drawer, in a jar he will not
be permitted to open. He will be greeted by three separate employees and
shown a tablet."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:12-0:18) Whip-cut shot-reverse-shot: Old Head, then Professor High, then
back to Old Head for the last line.
SAYS (OLD HEAD): "I used to buy this in a car."
SAYS (PROF): "You did. It was a worse experience in every measurable way
and he is still going to say the next sentence."
SAYS (OLD HEAD): "It was better."
ON SCREEN: nothing
4. (0:18-0:22) Professor High, static chest-up, the faintest smile.
SAYS (PROF): "It was not better. It was faster. This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: THIS IS WHY I'M HIGH
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Final beat only. Bold sans-serif, white, heavy stroke,

AUDIO: Original sound. Sparse strings plus a faint, slightly too-pleasant

IMPORTANT — PRODUCTION NOTE: The three strain names in shot 3 are placeholders
marked [DATA: ...]. They must be replaced with real current names pulled from
the live catalog before this is generated. Do not invent strain names.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized generic dispensary — the focus is a large backlit menu
board of invented dessert-style names and percentages. No product visible
anywhere. No real brand names or logos. Professor High is cut in from his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide. THE OLD HEAD squinting up at the menu
board, genuinely baffled.
SAYS (OLD HEAD): "What in God's name is a Gelato Runtz Cake."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:11) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS (PROF): "A dessert. They are all desserts now. The names used to
describe where a plant came from. Now they describe what the marketing team
was eating."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:11-0:18) Back to the Old Head reading the board aloud, more baffled with
each one. Slow pan across the board.
SAYS (OLD HEAD): "[DATA: name 1]. [DATA: name 2]. [DATA: name 3]."
SAYS (PROF): "None of those are regulated terms. Any grower may use any of
them for any plant."
ON SCREEN: nothing
4. (0:18-0:25) Slow push-in on Professor High. Single card, lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "The name is the only part of that jar nobody has to prove.
Read the panel underneath it instead. This is why I'm high."

Professor High is cut in from his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide two-shot. THE OLD HEAD and THE MAXIMIZER
both facing the board. The Maximizer answers instantly, without looking.

pick."
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "Biggest number."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:12) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.

system is wrong, but it is a system, which is more than most people bring."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:12-0:19) Slow push-in on Professor High. Single card, lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "Forty names. Three terpenes lead eighty-six percent of
everything on that board. He is choosing between forty labels and roughly
three actual experiences."
ON SCREEN: 3 TERPENES -> 86%

TONE: Nature-documentary, deadpan — but this episode is WARM. The Old Head
wins. Professor High agrees with him sincerely and there is no correction and
no punchline at his expense. Do not undercut him.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, mid-story, mid-sentence. No title card, no
logo. No on-screen text until the final beat.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized porch step, golden late-afternoon light. Blank house
front, no signage or logos. NOTHING smoked, held, lit or consumed on camera.
No product or paraphernalia in frame. Professor High is cut in from his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:06) COLD OPEN. Locked wide. THE OLD HEAD on the porch step,
mid-story, remembering fondly rather than complaining.
SAYS (OLD HEAD): "—and he had one kind. That's it. One. You didn't ask what
it was, you just knew what it did."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:06-0:14) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan but
noticeably gentler than usual.
SAYS (PROF): "This is the part where I am supposed to correct him. I am not
going to. He had one variable and years of personal data on it. That is a
better information position than most people have today."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:14-0:20) Slow push-in on Professor High.
SAYS (PROF): "He is not nostalgic for worse cannabis. He is nostalgic for
knowing what was going to happen. Chaser or Reader? This is why I'm high."

Professor High never defends the price — he explains where it goes.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, mid-outrage. No title card, no logo. No
on-screen text before 0:12.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized porch step, warm late light, blank house front. No

raised hand is empty. No product or paraphernalia in frame. Professor High is
cut in from his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide. THE OLD HEAD on the step, outraged,
holding up an EMPTY hand as if displaying something.
SAYS (OLD HEAD): "Twenty dollars. Twenty! And it lasted a week!"
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:12) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS (PROF): "He is right again, and he is going to blame the wrong people.
He thinks he is paying a grower. He is largely paying a testing lab, a
compliance department, and a tax authority."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:12-0:19) Slow push-in on Professor High. Single card, lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "The lab is the reason he now knows what is in it. That is the
trade. Certainty is not free and nobody printed the price of it on the jar."
ON SCREEN: YOU'RE PAYING FOR THE TEST
4. (0:19-0:24) Whip cut to the Old Head, then back to Professor High.

TONE: Nature-documentary, deadpan. This is the episode where Professor High
argues the culture improved. He is not gloating — he is stating an instrument
fact.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on THE OLD HEAD dismissing the idea. No title
card, no logo. No on-screen text before 0:11.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized porch step, warm light, blank house front, then
Professor High's lab. No signage, brands or logos. NOTHING smoked, held or
consumed on camera. No product or paraphernalia in frame.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide. THE OLD HEAD on the step, waving the
whole idea away.
SAYS (OLD HEAD): "Terpenes. Nobody talked like this. We just smoked it."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:11) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS (PROF): "Correct. You also had no idea what you were smoking, ever,
not once, for thirty years."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:11-0:18) Slow push-in on Professor High. Single card, lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "Nearly half of all cannabis is myrcene-led. About a quarter
is limonene. Those two facts existed the entire time. Nobody could measure
them, so nobody argued about them."
ON SCREEN: MYRCENE 45.8% - LIMONENE 25.4%
4. (0:18-0:22) Static chest-up.

TONE: Nature-documentary, deadpan, but this is the pack's thesis statement.
Slightly more weight and conviction than usual. Still never raises his voice,
still never winks.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on Professor High ALREADY MID-SENTENCE. No
title card, no logo, no greeting, no wind-up. This is the one episode in the
pack that opens on him rather than an archetype — that is deliberate.
ENVIRONMENT: Professor High's lab only. Stylized, clean, warm practical
lighting. No product, no packaging, no paraphernalia anywhere in frame. No
brands or logos.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Static chest-up, deadpan, direct to lens, already
talking.
SAYS (PROF): "Everyone is arguing about the wrong half of this."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:13) Slow push-in.
SAYS (PROF): "The plant got better. Measurably, unambiguously better — more
consistent, more tested, more understood than at any point in its history.
That argument is over."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:13-0:21) Continued slow push-in. Single card enters the lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "What got worse is how it is sold. Not one strain in the top
ten clears twenty-five percent. Fewer than one in two hundred reaches
thirty. And yet every board in the country is arranged as though that is
the only number that exists."
ON SCREEN: NOT ONE TOP-10 STRAIN CLEARS 25%
4. (0:21-0:26) Static chest-up, the faintest smile.
SAYS (PROF): "The old heads are not wrong that something got worse. They
are just pointing at the plant. I do this every week. This is why I'm
high."

TONE: Nature-documentary, deadpan — but SYMPATHETIC, not mocking. Professor
High has clearly been here himself. He is naming something, not scolding
anyone. No slapstick. The comedy is in the stillness and the precision of the
description.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on THE MAXIMIZER already whispering. No title
card, no logo, no narration first. No on-screen text until the final beat.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized living room during a small gathering. A few
unidentifiable background figures out of focus, talking to each other, never
looking at him. Warm lamp light. No brands or logos. NOTHING smoked, held or
consumed on camera at any point. No product or paraphernalia in frame.
Professor High is cut in from his lab and is never in the room.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide. THE MAXIMIZER sitting bolt upright on
the couch, absolutely rigid, whispering without moving his mouth. Blurred
figures behind him, all facing away.
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "They know. Everyone in here knows."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:12) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.

running a full internal audit of a room that is discussing a television
show."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:12-0:16) Back to the couch, IDENTICAL framing. He has not moved a
millimetre. Barely audible.

- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a

TONE: Nature-documentary, deadpan, SYMPATHETIC. Professor High is reassuring
by being matter-of-fact, never by being dismissive. No slapstick — the Oracle
is genuinely frightened and that is treated with respect.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on THE ORACLE already talking, fingers on his
own wrist. No title card, no logo. No on-screen text until the final beat.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized bedroom at night, one lamp, plain bedding, blank
walls. No brands or logos. NOTHING smoked, held or consumed on camera. No
product or paraphernalia in frame. Professor High is cut in from his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide. THE ORACLE sitting on the edge of the
bed, two fingers pressed to his own wrist, deadly serious.
SAYS (ORACLE): "That's not a normal heartbeat. That is not a normal
heartbeat."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:13) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS (PROF): "It is a slightly fast heartbeat and it is a known short-term
effect. He knows this. He has read it. He is currently unable to access
anything he has ever read."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:13-0:17) Back to the bedroom, same framing. He is now lying flat on his
back, staring straight up. Very quiet.
SAYS (ORACLE): "Should I tell someone."
SAYS (PROF): "He will not tell anyone. He will lie down and negotiate."

ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:12) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.

rules: /social/cast
TONE: Nature-documentary, deadpan, sympathetic. Play it slightly like a
wildlife night-vision segment — the comedy is the seriousness of the framing.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on an OBJECT, not a face. The first four
seconds have NO dialogue at all — just a fridge humming in a dark kitchen,
then a single mechanical click. This is a pattern-interrupt open and the
silence is the hook. No title card, no logo.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized dark kitchen at night, lit only by a little ambient
window light. A plain unbranded fridge. No brands or logos. NOTHING smoked,
held or consumed on camera. No product or paraphernalia in frame. Professor
High is cut in from his lab.

DIALOGUE. It hums, then clicks once.

stroke, lower third, pineapple yellow #D98E04 on "FRIDGE". 250px clear at
bottom, 120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. NO music at all under shot 1 — only the fridge hum and
click. Sparse strings enter on shot 3.

Professor High — THE PARANOIA WARD — PAR-005
Runtime: 19 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- THE FIRST-TIMER — SWAPPABLE. Use the-first-timer-v1 if you have built it, or
cast ANY Cantina character who reads as: small, upright and sincere, asks
the question nobody else will.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Nature-documentary, deadpan, and the WARMEST episode in this pack. There
is almost no joke here. Professor High is being kind without ever becoming
soft or sentimental. The First-Timer is entirely earnest and is never mocked.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on THE FIRST-TIMER already talking. No title
card, no logo. No on-screen text until the final beat.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized plain room, she is lying on the floor, one lamp, blank
ceiling above her. No brands or logos. NOTHING smoked, held or consumed on
camera. No product or paraphernalia in frame. Professor High is cut in from
his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked OVERHEAD shot looking straight down at THE
FIRST-TIMER flat on her back on the floor, staring up past camera,
completely earnest.
SAYS (FIRST-TIMER): "If this stops I will never do it again. I mean it this
time."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:13) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan but
gentle.
SAYS (PROF): "She is negotiating. There is nobody to negotiate with. This
is the part where a person becomes convinced that this specific one is
permanent, and it is the single most common thought in cannabis."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:13-0:17) Slow push-in on Professor High.
SAYS (PROF): "It is not permanent. It has a duration, it is running, and
she is at the loudest part of it."
ON SCREEN: nothing
4. (0:17-0:19) Static chest-up.
SAYS (PROF): "This is the Permanent. This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: THE PERMANENT
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Final beat only. Bold sans-serif, white with heavy
stroke, lower third, pineapple yellow #D98E04 on "PERMANENT". 250px clear at
bottom, 120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Sparse, warm, very quiet strings. No comic sting at any
point.
DO NOT: No smoking, no product, no paraphernalia. NO medical claims and NO
individualised reassurance — he describes duration in general, he does not
tell anyone they are fine. Do not frame this as a warning or a lesson. No real
brand names.

CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- THE ORACLE — SWAPPABLE. Use the-oracle-v1 if you have built it, or cast ANY
Cantina character who reads as: reclined and generous, explains your own
experience to you with total confidence.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Nature-documentary, deadpan, affectionate. The Oracle is not attacked
for quitting — the joke is the identity, not the decision. Professor High is
never discouraging him.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on THE ORACLE already announcing. No title
card, no logo. No on-screen text until the final beat.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized living room, plain couch, blank wall, a couple of
out-of-focus background figures who are not paying attention. No brands or
logos. NOTHING smoked, held or consumed on camera. No product or
paraphernalia. Professor High is cut in from his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide. THE ORACLE standing in the middle of
the room, announcing to people who did not ask.
SAYS (ORACLE): "I'm done. I'm actually done this time. It's been two days."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:13) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS (PROF): "He has quit. He has also mentioned it four times today, is
still wearing the shirt, and has not left the group chat. He did not quit
cannabis. He quit inhaling it."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:13-0:17) Back to the living room, same framing. He is defensive now.
SAYS (ORACLE): "I still know a lot about it."
SAYS (PROF): "He does. That part was never the problem."
ON SCREEN: nothing
4. (0:17-0:20) Professor High, static chest-up, the faintest smile.
SAYS (PROF): "This is the Retirement. This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: THE RETIREMENT
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Final beat only. Bold sans-serif, white with heavy
stroke, lower third, pineapple yellow #D98E04 on "RETIREMENT". 250px clear at
bottom, 120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Sparse strings.
DO NOT: No smoking, no product, no paraphernalia. No medical claims. Do not
mock the decision to stop and do not encourage anyone to restart. No real
brand names. The shirt must carry NO logo or readable text.

CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- THE MAXIMIZER — SWAPPABLE. Use the-maximizer-v1 if you have built it, or
cast ANY Cantina character who reads as: confident, decisive and completely
wrong — optimising for the biggest number.
- NOTE: plus a generic stylized house cat (no character file needed — it never
speaks, never moves and never reacts)
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Nature-documentary, deadpan. This is the lightest, cheapest episode in
the pack: one room, one animal, one joke.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on the CAT, not a person. The first three
seconds have NO dialogue — the cat simply stares directly down the lens
without blinking. That stare is the hook. No title card, no logo.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized plain living room floor, daylight, blank walls. No
brands or logos. NOTHING smoked, held or consumed on camera. No product or
paraphernalia. Professor High is cut in from his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:03) COLD OPEN. Locked static close-up on the cat, staring directly
into the lens, completely still, not blinking. NO DIALOGUE.
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:03-0:08) Locked wide. THE MAXIMIZER sitting cross-legged on the floor
facing the cat, talking to it far too conversationally and a little too
loudly.
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "So anyway. What do you think about all that."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:08-0:13) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS (PROF): "He has been standing still for six minutes and has decided
that talking to the cat retroactively makes it a plan."
ON SCREEN: nothing
4. (0:13-0:15) Professor High, static chest-up.
SAYS (PROF): "This is the Alibi. This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: THE ALIBI
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Final beat only. Bold sans-serif, white with heavy
stroke, lower third, pineapple yellow #D98E04 on "ALIBI". 250px clear at
bottom, 120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. NO music under shot 1 — silence and room tone only.
Sparse strings enter on shot 3.
DO NOT: No smoking, no product, no paraphernalia. The cat is never given
anything, never reacts, and is never in any distress. No medical claims. No
real brand names.

Runtime: 26 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- No supporting cast — Professor High alone.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Nature-documentary, deadpan, sincere. This is the pack's payoff and the
only episode with no archetype and no joke. Professor High is speaking
directly and warmly to people who recognised themselves in the previous seven.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on Professor High ALREADY MID-SENTENCE. No
title card, no logo, no greeting.
IMPORTANT — CLAIM DISCIPLINE: He describes an ASSOCIATION, never an effect he
promises and never a medical claim. The line "a pattern, not a prescription"
must be delivered verbatim — it is the hedge that keeps this compliant.
ENVIRONMENT: Professor High's lab only. Stylized, clean, warm practical
lighting. No product, packaging or paraphernalia anywhere in frame. No brands
or logos.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Static chest-up, deadpan, direct to lens, already
talking.
SAYS (PROF): "Seven of these now. Nobody has asked the only useful
question."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:13) Slow push-in. Single card enters the lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "None of that is a character flaw. Cannabis is not one input.
Research associates different dominant terpenes with different profiles,
and nearly half of all cannabis is led by the same one."
ON SCREEN: MYRCENE 45.8%
2b. (0:13-0:21) Hold. Card changes.
SAYS (PROF): "That is a pattern, not a prescription — your chemistry gets a
vote. But if the same thing keeps happening to you, it is worth knowing
whether the same thing keeps being in the jar."
ON SCREEN: A PATTERN, NOT A PRESCRIPTION
3. (0:21-0:26) Static chest-up, the faintest smile.
SAYS (PROF): "Look up what was actually in the one that did it. That is the
whole product. This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: THIS IS WHY I'M HIGH
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Bold sans-serif, white with heavy stroke, lower third,
pineapple yellow #D98E04 on the key term. 250px clear at bottom, 120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Warm, sparse strings throughout.
DO NOT: No product, no smoking, no paraphernalia. NO medical claims, NO
treatment or symptom language, NO dosing guidance, NO promise that any terpene
will produce any effect. No real brand, dispensary, producer or lab names.

CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- THE CLERK — SWAPPABLE. Use the-clerk-v1 if you have built it, or cast ANY
Cantina character who reads as: grey, tired and entirely affectless,
permanently holding a clipboard.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan meets committee minutes. Everyone plays the
procedure with total seriousness. The absurdity is that the meeting is
happening at all. NO winking, NO comic voices.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD mid-session, mid-agenda. No title card, no
logo, no establishing shot of the building. No on-screen text before 0:19.
ENVIRONMENT: A stark, grey, fluorescent-lit committee room. One long table,
water glasses, nameplates with no readable text. No brands or logos anywhere.
NO cannabis, product, packaging or paraphernalia visible at any point.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide of the table. THE CLERK reads from a
clipboard, completely flat.
SAYS (CLERK): "Next application. 'Gelato Runtz Cake.' Genetics submitted:
none. Objections?"
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:12) Static formal composition on Professor High at the head of the
table. Procedural, deadpan.
SAYS (PROF): "The chair notes that this body has no legal standing, no
register, and no power to reject anything. Approved."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:12-0:19) Whip-cut shot-reverse-shot between the Clerk and Professor
High.
SAYS (CLERK): "Next application. 'Gelato Runtz Cake.'"
SAYS (PROF): "Same name?"
SAYS (CLERK): "Different grower. Different plant."
SAYS (PROF): "Also approved. It has to be."
ON SCREEN: nothing
4. (0:19-0:26) Slow push-in on Professor High. Single card, lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "There is no standards body. Any grower may use any name for
any plant, and two jars with the same name may share nothing at all. Read
the panel. This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: NO STANDARDS BODY EXISTS
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Final beat only. Bold sans-serif, white with heavy
stroke, lower third, pineapple yellow #D98E04 on "NO". 250px clear at bottom,
120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Fluorescent hum, paper shuffling, one distant HVAC
drone. Strings enter only under the final beat.
DO NOT: No product, no packaging, no paraphernalia, no smoking. No medical
claims. No REAL brand, dispensary, producer, lab or regulator names — the
strain names spoken are invented. No real government body may be depicted or
implied.

ANY Cantina character who reads as: small, new and nervous, sharp pine-green
motif — rare, not bad.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Corporate-onboarding deadpan. Played entirely straight, like a real HR
induction. The comedy is the bureaucracy, not the character.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD mid-induction. No title card, no logo. No
on-screen text before 0:11.
ENVIRONMENT: A beige corporate meeting room. Two chairs, a laminate table, a
whiteboard with nothing readable on it. No brands or logos. NO cannabis,
product or paraphernalia anywhere.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide. THE CLERK slides a folder across the
table, pleasant and entirely uninterested.
SAYS (CLERK): "Welcome aboard. You'll be in about four and a half percent
of strains."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:11) Static medium reverse on TERPINOLENE, seated, small and
uncertain.
SAYS (TERPINOLENE): "Out of how many?"
SAYS (CLERK): "All of them."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:11-0:18) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.
Single card, lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "Myrcene leads nearly half the catalogue and has an office.
Terpinolene leads about one in twenty-two and has been given a folder."
ON SCREEN: MYRCENE 45.8% - TERPINOLENE 4.5%
4. (0:18-0:24) Whip cut to Terpinolene, then back to Professor High.
SAYS (TERPINOLENE): "Is that bad?"
SAYS (PROF): "It is rare. Those are different words and only one of them is
on your paperwork. This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: THIS IS WHY I'M HIGH
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Beats 3 and 4 only. Bold sans-serif, white with heavy
stroke, lower third, pineapple yellow #D98E04 on the percentages. 250px clear

TONE: Customer-service deadpan. The Clerk types everything the customer says
back at him, verbatim and without inflection. Played completely straight.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD mid-complaint. No title card, no logo. No
on-screen text before 0:20.
ENVIRONMENT: A grey municipal service counter with a glass window and a
ticket-number display showing nothing. Fluorescent light. No brands or logos.
NO cannabis, product, packaging or paraphernalia visible — he is returning
nothing physical and holds nothing.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide on the counter. THE MAXIMIZER aggrieved
at the window, THE CLERK typing.
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "It didn't hit right."
SAYS (CLERK): "Didn't. Hit. Right."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:12) Static two-shot, tighter.
SAYS (CLERK): "And what were you expecting?"
(long pause)
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "...different."
SAYS (CLERK): "Different."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:12-0:20) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS (PROF): "This is the most common complaint in the industry and the
least actionable. He has one number — the percentage — and one word —
different. Nothing about either one describes what he actually
experienced."
ON SCREEN: nothing
4. (0:20-0:25) Slow push-in on Professor High. Single card, lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "Three terpenes lead eighty-six percent of everything. That is
the vocabulary he was never given. Look it up before you file. This is why
I'm high."
ON SCREEN: 3 TERPENES -> 86%

TONE: Audit deadpan. The Clerk reads numbers aloud with zero affect. Professor
High is not outraged — he is documenting. The manager is never seen or heard.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD mid-audit, mid-list. No title card, no logo.
No on-screen text before 0:05.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized generic dispensary, dominated by a large backlit menu
board of invented names and THC percentages. No product visible anywhere. No
real brand names or logos. Professor High is cut in from his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide, the board filling frame behind THE
CLERK, who reads from a clipboard to someone off-screen.
SAYS (CLERK): "I'm going to read the board back to you. Thirty-one.
Thirty-two. Thirty-four point nine."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:12) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.
Single card enters lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "The highest figure ever recorded in our data is thirty-four
point eight. That board contains a number that has never existed."
ON SCREEN: HIGHEST ON RECORD: 34.8%
3. (0:12-0:20) Slow push-in. Card changes.
SAYS (PROF): "About one strain in ten reaches twenty-five percent. Fewer
than one in two hundred reaches thirty. On this board, eleven of fourteen
do."
ON SCREEN: 1 IN 200 REACH 30%
4. (0:20-0:27) Whip cut to the Clerk, then back to Professor High for the
close.
SAYS (CLERK): "Do you want me to write 'unlikely'?"
SAYS (PROF): "Write 'marketing.' Save this for your next menu. This is why
I'm high."
ON SCREEN: WRITE 'MARKETING'
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Beats 2-4. Bold sans-serif, white with heavy stroke,

120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Fluorescent hum, pen on clipboard. Strings low

and no empathy. Played completely straight.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD mid-call. No title card, no logo. No on-screen
text until the final beat.
ENVIRONMENT: A grey cubicle with a headset, a monitor showing nothing
readable, and one dead plant. Fluorescent light. No brands or logos. NO
cannabis, product or paraphernalia visible anywhere.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide. THE CLERK at the desk in a headset,
reading from a script.
SAYS (CLERK): "And have you tried taking less of it?"
SAYS (MAXIMIZER, phone-filtered, off-screen): "That's your whole thing,
isn't it."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:11) Static medium, tighter on the Clerk. No defensiveness at all.
SAYS (CLERK): "It is the only step. There is one step."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:11-0:18) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS (PROF): "'Start low and go slow' is genuinely the best general advice

Nobody built one."
ON SCREEN: nothing
4. (0:18-0:22) Slow push-in on Professor High.

TONE: Deposition deadpan. Total procedural seriousness. The absurdity is that
a jar has been sworn in.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD mid-deposition. No title card, no logo. No
on-screen text before 0:11.
IMPORTANT — COMPLIANCE: The witness is a STRAIN NAME, not a person and not a

EMPTY with a blank label — no cannabis or product inside or visible.
ENVIRONMENT: A stark deposition room. One chair, one table lamp, a stenotype.
Grey. No brands or logos. No product anywhere.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:

describing a feeling, not a panel."

Cantina character who reads as: grey, tired and entirely affectless,
permanently holding a clipboard.
- MYRCENE — SWAPPABLE. Use myrcene-v1 if you have built it, or cast ANY
Cantina character who reads as: heavy, slumped and exhausted, soft earthy-
purple motif — in nearly half of everything, never asked for by name.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Performance-review deadpan. Exhausted employee, indifferent HR. Played
completely straight. Pairs deliberately with FSY-002 — same room, same clerk,
opposite status.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD mid-review. No title card, no logo. No
on-screen text before 0:11.
ENVIRONMENT: The SAME beige corporate meeting room as FSY-002 — identical set,
so the two episodes read as a pair. No brands or logos. No cannabis, product
or paraphernalia anywhere.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide. THE CLERK reading from a form, entirely
uninterested.
SAYS (CLERK): "So. Forty-five point eight percent. And how do you feel that
went."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:11) Static medium reverse on MYRCENE, slumped and exhausted.
SAYS (MYRCENE): "I'm in nearly half of everything."
SAYS (CLERK): "'Meets expectations.'"
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:11-0:18) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.
Single card, lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "Myrcene leads nearly half of all classified cannabis. It is
the most successful compound in the industry and nobody has ever asked for
it by name."
ON SCREEN: MYRCENE 45.8%
4. (0:18-0:23) Whip cut to Myrcene, then back to Professor High.
SAYS (MYRCENE): "Not once."
SAYS (PROF): "Ask for it by name once. See what happens. This is why I'm
high."
ON SCREEN: THIS IS WHY I'M HIGH
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Beats 3 and 4. Bold sans-serif, white with heavy stroke,
lower third, pineapple yellow #D98E04 on "45.8%". 250px clear at bottom, 120px

AUDIO: Original sound. Office ambience. Strings under the final beat only.
DO NOT: No product or paraphernalia. No smoking. No medical claims and no
claim that myrcene produces any effect. No real brand or company names.

CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- THE MAXIMIZER — SWAPPABLE. Use the-maximizer-v1 if you have built it, or
cast ANY Cantina character who reads as: confident, decisive and completely
wrong — optimising for the biggest number.

TONE: Filing-office deadpan. The Clerk never looks up.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD mid-application. No title card, no logo. No
on-screen text before 0:11.
ENVIRONMENT: A grey filing office counter, wire trays, a rubber stamp, a wall
of drawers. Fluorescent light. No brands or logos. NO cannabis, product or
paraphernalia visible. No real government office is depicted or implied.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide. THE MAXIMIZER slides a form across the
counter, pleased with himself.
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "I'd like to register the name. It's mine, I came up with
it."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:11) Static two-shot. THE CLERK types without looking up.
SAYS (CLERK): "Which name."
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "Cake."
SAYS (CLERK): "There are four thousand."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:11-0:19) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.
Single card, lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "Strain names are not exclusive and never have been. Two
growers, two continents, two entirely different plants, one word. All of
them are correct and none of them own it."
ON SCREEN: NOBODY OWNS A STRAIN NAME
4. (0:19-0:24) Whip cut to the Maximizer, then back to Professor High.
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "So what do I own?"
SAYS (PROF): "The plant. Which is the part you did not want to talk about.
This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: THIS IS WHY I'M HIGH
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Beats 3 and 4. Bold sans-serif, white with heavy stroke,
lower third, pineapple yellow #D98E04 on "NOBODY". 250px clear at bottom,
120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Fluorescent hum, rubber stamp, drawer rollers. Strings
under the final beat.
DO NOT: No product or paraphernalia. No smoking. No medical claims. No real
brand, producer, dispensary or government-agency names. This is not legal
advice and must never be framed as trademark guidance.

- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Press-conference deadpan — the most formal register in the pack. The
Clerk reads a prepared statement with total corporate flatness. Nobody in this
video acknowledges that anything is funny.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD mid-statement. No title card, no logo, no
establishing shot. No on-screen text before 0:13.
ENVIRONMENT: A press podium against a completely blank backdrop — NO
organisation name, NO logo, NO seal, nothing readable anywhere. Camera
flashbulbs from off-screen. No product, packaging or paraphernalia visible.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:06) COLD OPEN. Locked wide on the podium. THE CLERK reading a
prepared statement, flashbulbs popping.
SAYS (CLERK): "We are issuing a voluntary correction. The product is safe.
The product is accurately tested."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:06-0:13) Static medium on the podium. The flashbulbs intensify.
SAYS (CLERK): "The name on the front of the jar was, and remains, entirely
made up."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:13-0:21) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.
Single card, lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "This recall will never happen, because a made-up name is not
a defect. It is the format. The panel on the back was accurate the entire
time and almost nobody read it."
ON SCREEN: THE PANEL WAS ALWAYS RIGHT
4. (0:21-0:28) Slow push-in. Card changes.
SAYS (PROF): "Three terpenes lead eighty-six percent of everything on that
shelf. That is the part that was never in question. Look up yours. This is
why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: 3 TERPENES -> 86%
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Beats 3 and 4. Bold sans-serif, white with heavy stroke,
lower third, pineapple yellow #D98E04 on "86%". 250px clear at bottom, 120px
at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Camera shutters, a room of murmuring press that never
resolves into words. Strings enter on beat 3.
DO NOT: No product, packaging or paraphernalia in frame. No smoking. No
medical claims. No real brand, producer, dispensary, lab or regulator named or
implied — the backdrop must be completely blank. This must never read as an
accusation against an identifiable business.
The 100 · The Immovable Punchline
Full pack with beat tables, hooks, and captions →IMP-001 — 22 seconds
Professor High — THE IMMOVABLE PUNCHLINE — IMP-001
Runtime: 22 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- THE MAXIMIZER — SWAPPABLE. Use the-maximizer-v1 if you have built it, or
cast ANY Cantina character who reads as: confident, decisive and completely
wrong — optimising for the biggest number.
- THE BUDTENDER — SWAPPABLE. Use the-budtender-v1 if you have built it, or
cast ANY Cantina character who reads as: apron and name tag, likeable, has
an answer for everything — never dishonest.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan. CRITICAL — the repeated line "And that's the
strongest one you got?" must be delivered IDENTICALLY every time: same words,
same pitch, same pacing, same flat curiosity. Do not vary it for emphasis.
The identical delivery IS the joke.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on the line already being spoken. No title
card, no logo, no setup. No on-screen text until the final beat.
IMPORTANT — ESCALATION: Each location is more absurd than the last, but the
Maximizer's demeanour never changes. He is equally sincere at the menu board
and at the moon.
ENVIRONMENT: Four stylized locations — a generic dispensary counter with a
backlit menu board, Professor High's lab, a garden-centre aisle of ordinary
houseplants, and a night exterior. No brands or logos anywhere. NO cannabis,
product, packaging or paraphernalia visible in ANY shot.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide at the dispensary counter.
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "And that's the strongest one you got?"
SAYS (BUDTENDER): "That's the highest number, yeah."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:10) Hard cut. Static two-shot in Professor High's lab. The
Maximizer is holding a plain sheet of paper.
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "And that's the strongest one you got?"
SAYS (PROF): "That is a certificate of analysis."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:10-0:15) Hard cut. Locked wide in a garden-centre aisle of ordinary
houseplants.
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "And that's the strongest one you got?"
SAYS (PROF): "That is a fern."
ON SCREEN: nothing
4. (0:15-0:19) Hard cut. Locked wide exterior at night, the Maximizer looking
up at the moon.
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "And that's the strongest one you got?"
SAYS (PROF, off-screen): "That is the moon."
ON SCREEN: nothing
5. (0:19-0:22) Professor High in the lab, static chest-up, deadpan. Single
card.
SAYS (PROF): "Fewer than one in two hundred reaches thirty percent. He will
ask again tomorrow. This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: 1 IN 200
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Final beat only. Bold sans-serif, white with heavy
stroke, lower third, pineapple yellow #D98E04 on "200". 250px clear at bottom,
120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Each cut is hard and unscored; sparse strings only
under the final beat.
DO NOT: No cannabis or product visible anywhere, including the garden centre.
No smoking. No medical claims. No real dispensary, brand, producer or lab
names. Do not vary the repeated line.
IMP-002 — 24 seconds
Professor High — THE IMMOVABLE PUNCHLINE — IMP-002
Runtime: 24 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- THE FIRST-TIMER — SWAPPABLE. Use the-first-timer-v1 if you have built it, or
cast ANY Cantina character who reads as: small, upright and sincere, asks
the question nobody else will.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan. CRITICAL — "Which terpene is that?" must be
delivered IDENTICALLY every time. Same words, same pitch, same pacing. The
First-Timer is sincere and curious, never comic. Professor High answers each
one with the same flat precision.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on the lemon already held up and the line
already being asked. No title card, no logo, no setup. No on-screen text until
the final beat.
ENVIRONMENT: Three stylized locations — a plain kitchen, an outdoor spot under
a conifer, and Professor High's lab. Ordinary grocery items only: a lemon, a
mango, a pepper grinder. No brands or logos on anything. NO cannabis, product,
packaging or paraphernalia visible in ANY shot.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide in the kitchen, a lemon held up to
camera.
SAYS (FIRST-TIMER): "Which terpene is that?"
SAYS (PROF): "Limonene. About a quarter of all cannabis leads with it."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:10) Hard cut. Locked wide outdoors beneath a pine tree.
SAYS (FIRST-TIMER): "Which terpene is that?"
SAYS (PROF): "Pinene. About one strain in fifty."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:10-0:15) Hard cut. Same kitchen, same framing, holding a mango.
SAYS (FIRST-TIMER): "Which terpene is that?"
SAYS (PROF): "Myrcene. Nearly half of all cannabis."
ON SCREEN: nothing
4. (0:15-0:20) Hard cut. Same kitchen, same framing, holding a pepper grinder.
SAYS (FIRST-TIMER): "Which terpene is that?"
SAYS (PROF): "Caryophyllene. About one in seven."
ON SCREEN: nothing
5. (0:20-0:24) Professor High in the lab, slow push-in, deadpan. Single card.
SAYS (PROF): "None of that is unique to cannabis. It is the same chemistry,
in your kitchen, unlabelled. Save this. This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: SAME CHEMISTRY, NO LABEL
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Final beat only. Bold sans-serif, white with heavy
stroke, lower third, pineapple yellow #D98E04 on "SAME CHEMISTRY". 250px clear
at bottom, 120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Hard unscored cuts; sparse strings under the final beat.
DO NOT: No cannabis or product visible anywhere. No smoking. No medical claims
and no suggestion that eating any of these produces any cannabis-related
effect — the point is shared chemistry, nothing more. No real brand names or
supermarket packaging.

- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan. CRITICAL — "Is that on the label?" must be
delivered IDENTICALLY every time: same words, same flat curiosity, no
escalating irritation. The Budtender's confidence erodes across the four
exchanges while Professor High's tone never moves.
IMPORTANT — This satirises the INDUSTRY's vocabulary, never a specific person
or shop. The Budtender is a recurring archetype, sincere and likeable, not a
villain.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD mid-exchange. No title card, no logo. No
on-screen text until the final beat.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized generic dispensary counter with a backlit menu board.
NO product visible at any point — nothing is ever handed over or held. No real
brand names or logos. Professor High is present at the counter in this episode
(the only pack where he is).
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide at the counter.
SAYS (BUDTENDER): "This one's a creeper."
SAYS (PROF): "Is that on the label?"
SAYS (BUDTENDER): "...no."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:10) Static two-shot, tighter.
SAYS (BUDTENDER): "This one's top shelf."
SAYS (PROF): "Is that on the label?"
SAYS (BUDTENDER): "It's on a sign."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:10-0:15) Static two-shot, same framing.
SAYS (BUDTENDER): "This one's for creatives."
SAYS (PROF): "Is that on the label?"
SAYS (BUDTENDER): "That's on me."
ON SCREEN: nothing
4. (0:15-0:18) Static two-shot, same framing. A beat of silence before the
last answer.
SAYS (BUDTENDER): "This one's fire."
SAYS (PROF): "Is that on the label?"
(pause)
SAYS (BUDTENDER): "That one's just true."
ON SCREEN: nothing
5. (0:18-0:21) Professor High, static chest-up, deadpan. Single card.
SAYS (PROF): "One of those four is testable. Read the panel. This is why
I'm high."
ON SCREEN: ONE OF FOUR
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Final beat only. Bold sans-serif, white with heavy
stroke, lower third, pineapple yellow #D98E04 on "ONE". 250px clear at bottom,
120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Quiet retail ambience. Strings under the final beat.
DO NOT: No product visible or handled. No smoking. No medical claims. No real
dispensary, brand, producer or lab names. Never frame the budtender as
dishonest — the industry gave him the vocabulary.

wrong — optimising for the biggest number.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan. CRITICAL — "And you bought that?" is
delivered IDENTICALLY every time by PROFESSOR HIGH: same words, same flat
curiosity, absolutely no judgment or sarcasm. He is asking a research
question. The Maximizer's confidence drains across the four exchanges.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD mid-conversation. No title card, no logo. No
on-screen text until the final beat.
ENVIRONMENT: Professor High's lab. Two chairs facing each other, ONE locked
two-shot held for the entire video — no cuts between exchanges, only the
dialogue advances. Stylized, clean, warm practical lighting. NO product,
packaging or paraphernalia anywhere. No brands or logos.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
ONE CONTINUOUS LOCKED TWO-SHOT for 0:00-0:17. Do not cut.
(0:00-0:05)
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "It was the highest number on the board."
SAYS (PROF): "And you bought that?"
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "Obviously."
(0:05-0:10)
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "The jar was nicer."
SAYS (PROF): "And you bought that?"
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "It was a really nice jar."
(0:10-0:14)

SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "He seemed sure."
ON SCREEN: nothing throughout
Final beat (0:17-0:20) Cut to Professor High alone, static chest-up. Closing
card.
SAYS (PROF): "Nobody has ever asked what was in it. Chaser or Reader? This
is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: CHASER OR READER?
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Final beat only. Bold sans-serif, white with heavy
stroke, lower third. 250px clear at bottom, 120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Room tone only across the two-shot — no music at all
until the final beat.

No real brand, dispensary or producer names. Do not vary the repeated line and
do not cut during the two-shot.

- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a

rules: /social/cast
TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan. CRITICAL — "That's a dessert." is delivered
IDENTICALLY every time, completely flat, with no rising irritation. The single
variation is the LAST one — "That is two desserts." — and even that keeps the
identical tone.
IMPORTANT — PRODUCTION NOTE: All four strain names are placeholders marked
[DATA: ...]. Replace with real current names pulled from the live catalog
before generating. Do not invent strain names.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on the board mid-list, no face, no setup. No
title card, no logo. No on-screen text until the final beat.
ENVIRONMENT: One location only — a stylized backlit dispensary menu board
filling the frame. The Budtender is heard and only partially seen. NO product
visible. No real brand names or logos. Professor High appears only in the
final beat, cut in from his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
ONE LOCKED STATIC SHOT of the board for 0:00-0:15. Do not move the camera.
(0:00-0:04)
SAYS (BUDTENDER): "[DATA: name 1]."
SAYS (PROF): "That's a dessert."

rules: /social/cast
TONE: Deadpan meme format. There is almost no performance here — the cards
carry the joke and the characters simply hold a pose.
IMPORTANT — THIS PACK INVERTS THE USUAL TEXT RULE. Burned-in text is REQUIRED
on every beat. The text IS the video. Do not remove the cards.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Card one is on screen from frame one. No title card, no
logo, no voice, no music for the first three seconds. Silence plus text is the
hook.
IMPORTANT — The two character shots must use IDENTICAL framing, lens and
lighting so the only difference is the person.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized living room, plain couch, blank wall. No brands or
logos. NOTHING smoked, held or consumed on camera. No product or packaging
visible.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:

eyes enormous, staring past camera. NO DIALOGUE, NO MUSIC.

unaffected, mid-conversation, gesturing normally. NO DIALOGUE.

TONE: Deadpan meme format. Frozen physical comedy — he does not move at all
across the two shots. The stillness is the joke.
IMPORTANT — BURNED-IN TEXT IS REQUIRED. The text is the video.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Card one is on screen from frame one. No voice and no
music for the first six seconds.
IMPORTANT — Both character shots use IDENTICAL framing. He must not move a
millimetre between them.

family figures. No brands or logos. NOTHING smoked, held or consumed relating
to cannabis — ordinary dinner plates only, and no product or packaging
anywhere.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:04) Locked wide. THE MAXIMIZER at the table, frozen mid-chew,
staring straight ahead. A relative beside him is talking — her mouth moves
but NO words are audible.

2. (0:04-0:06) IDENTICAL framing. He has not moved at all.
ON SCREEN: AND IT'S BEEN 40 MINUTES

Professor High — SEVEN-SECOND CARDS — SEV-003
Runtime: 12 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- THE MAXIMIZER — SWAPPABLE. Use the-maximizer-v1 if you have built it, or
cast ANY Cantina character who reads as: confident, decisive and completely
wrong — optimising for the biggest number.
- THE ORACLE — SWAPPABLE. Use the-oracle-v1 if you have built it, or cast ANY
Cantina character who reads as: reclined and generous, explains your own
experience to you with total confidence.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Deadpan meme format. No performance beyond holding a pose.
IMPORTANT — BURNED-IN TEXT IS REQUIRED on every beat.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Card one on screen from frame one. No voice, no music for
the first ten seconds.
IMPORTANT — ALL THREE character shots use IDENTICAL framing, lens, lighting
and couch position. The third shot is the SAME shot with nobody in it. That
empty cushion is the punchline and it only works if the framing has not moved.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized living room, plain couch, blank wall. No brands or
logos. NOTHING smoked, held or consumed on camera. No product or packaging
visible.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:04) Locked wide. THE ORACLE on the couch, relaxed, talking
normally to someone off-screen. NO AUDIBLE DIALOGUE.
ON SCREEN: THE ONE WHO'S FINE
2. (0:04-0:08) IDENTICAL framing. THE MAXIMIZER in the same spot, completely
motionless, eyes wide.
ON SCREEN: THE ONE WHO'S QUIET
3. (0:08-0:10) IDENTICAL framing. The couch is EMPTY — just a dented cushion.
ON SCREEN: THE ONE WHO WENT TO LIE DOWN
4. (0:10-0:12) Cut to Professor High, static chest-up, deadpan. Voice only.
SAYS (PROF): "This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: THIS IS WHY I'M HIGH
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Large bold sans-serif, white with heavy stroke, CENTRED
upper third. Pineapple yellow #D98E04 on the final card. 250px clear at
bottom, 120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Silence and faint room tone for 0:00-0:10. One soft
string chord on the final beat.
DO NOT: No smoking, no product, no packaging, no paraphernalia. No medical
claims. No data on camera. No real brand names.

rules: /social/cast
TONE: Deadpan meme format. Physical comedy, no dialogue, no expression change.
IMPORTANT — BURNED-IN TEXT IS REQUIRED.
IMPORTANT — THIS VIDEO MUST LOOP SEAMLESSLY. The final frame and the first
frame must match exactly, so that on repeat he appears to walk back in
immediately. Build the animation as a perfect cycle — the loop is the entire
mechanic.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: He is ALREADY walking in on frame one. No title card, no
logo, no voice or music until the final beat.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized plain kitchen, blank cabinets, daylight. No brands or
logos. NOTHING smoked, held or consumed on camera. No product or packaging
visible.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:03) Locked wide. THE MAXIMIZER walks into frame, stops dead in the
middle of the kitchen, and looks slowly around. NO DIALOGUE.
ON SCREEN: WHEN YOU GO TO THE KITCHEN
2. (0:03-0:05) IDENTICAL framing. He turns and walks straight back out the way
he came. NO DIALOGUE.
ON SCREEN: AND FORGET WHY
3. (0:05-0:06) Cut to Professor High, static chest-up, deadpan. Voice only.
SAYS (PROF): "This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: THIS IS WHY I'M HIGH
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Large bold sans-serif, white with heavy stroke, CENTRED
upper third. Pineapple yellow #D98E04 on the final card. 250px clear at
bottom, 120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Footsteps and room tone only until the final beat, then
one soft string chord. The audio must also loop cleanly.
DO NOT: No smoking, no product, no packaging, no paraphernalia. No medical
claims. No data on camera. No real brand names.

TONE: Deadpan meme format. This is the ONE episode in the pack that carries a
number, as a deliberate test. Everything else about the format is unchanged.
IMPORTANT — BURNED-IN TEXT IS REQUIRED on every beat.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Card one on screen from frame one. No voice, no music for
the first eight seconds.
IMPORTANT — Both character shots use IDENTICAL framing. Between them his
posture deflates very slightly — that is the only change, and it should be
subtle enough to reward a rewatch.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized living room, plain couch, blank wall. No brands or
logos. He holds NOTHING — his hand is raised as if displaying something, but
it is empty. NO product, packaging or paraphernalia visible anywhere.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:04) Locked wide. THE MAXIMIZER triumphant, one empty hand raised as
if showing something off. NO DIALOGUE.
ON SCREEN: HIM: "THIS ONE'S LIKE 32%"
2. (0:04-0:08) IDENTICAL framing. His posture has deflated very slightly. NO
DIALOGUE.
ON SCREEN: THE AVERAGE STRAIN: 20.5%
3. (0:08-0:10) Cut to Professor High, static chest-up, deadpan. Voice only.
SAYS (PROF): "This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: THIS IS WHY I'M HIGH
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Large bold sans-serif, white with heavy stroke, CENTRED
upper third. Pineapple yellow #D98E04 on "20.5%". 250px clear at bottom, 120px

AUDIO: Original sound. Silence and faint room tone for 0:00-0:08, one soft
string chord on the final beat.

TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan — literally a species-identification segment.
CRITICAL: Professor High shows NO preference between the two types. He names
both with identical respect. He must never imply one is correct.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on both characters already at the board, both
mid-question. No title card, no logo. No on-screen text before 0:11.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized generic dispensary, backlit menu board of invented
names and percentages. No product visible. No real brand names or logos.
Professor High is cut in from his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide two-shot, both facing the board, asking
at the same moment.
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "Which one's the highest?"
SAYS (FIRST-TIMER): "Which one's got the limonene?"
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:11) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS (PROF): "Two species, one counter. The first buys the number. The
second buys the profile. Both of them will have a nice evening and only one
of them will be able to repeat it."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:11-0:15) Same framing. A single two-word card enters the lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "Chasers optimise for intensity. Readers optimise for
repeatability. Neither is wrong. They are answering different questions."
ON SCREEN: CHASER - READER
4. (0:15-0:18) Static chest-up. Closing card.
SAYS (PROF): "Which one are you. Be honest. This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: CHASER OR READER?

brands or logos. NOTHING smoked, held or consumed on camera at any point. No
product or paraphernalia visible. Professor High is cut in from his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide two-shot on the couch. THE ORACLE is

at nothing.

ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:11) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.

TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan. This is the one episode where Professor High
comes CLOSE to a verdict, and he flags that he is doing it. Even here he does
not actually declare a winner.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on both already engaged. No title card, no
logo. No on-screen text before 0:05.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized generic dispensary counter with a backlit menu board.
NO product visible anywhere — the Old Head leans toward the counter with his
eyes closed but there is nothing in front of him. No real brand names or
logos. Professor High is cut in from his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide two-shot at the counter. THE OLD HEAD
leans in with his eyes closed; THE FIRST-TIMER reads from a plain sheet.
SAYS (OLD HEAD): "I don't need a sheet. I can smell it."
SAYS (FIRST-TIMER): "It says limonene."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:13) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.
Single card, lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "They are doing the same thing. Terpenes are the aromatic
compounds — the smell is the panel. He is reading it slowly and
inaccurately, and she is reading it printed."

TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan, species identification. NO preference shown
between the two types, even though one is the app's use case — the naming
carries it, not an endorsement.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on both already answering. No title card, no
logo. No on-screen text before 0:06.
IMPORTANT — PRODUCTION NOTE: The phrase "One of them is a feature in High IQ"
is a launch-dependent line. If posting before the app is live, swap to "One of
them is a habit worth building." The rest of the script is unaffected.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized generic dispensary counter with a backlit menu board.
No product visible. The First-Timer's phone shows an unbranded generic list —
no readable app UI, no logos. Professor High is cut in from his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:06) COLD OPEN. Locked wide two-shot at the counter. THE MAXIMIZER
squints up at the board trying to remember; THE FIRST-TIMER reads off her
phone without hesitating.
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "I had a really good one once. It was… green."
SAYS (FIRST-TIMER): "Mine was limonene-led, twenty-one percent, third of
March."
ON SCREEN: nothing

Oracle's hands are conspicuously EMPTY, which is the joke. No product or
packaging visible. Professor High is cut in from his lab.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Locked wide two-shot at the doorway. THE ORACLE
arrives with both hands visibly empty, delighted. THE MAXIMIZER answers
completely flatly.
SAYS (ORACLE): "What are we working with tonight?"
SAYS (MAXIMIZER): "We. Interesting."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:11) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.

IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on the split screen already established. No

IMPORTANT — SHOT 1 IS A VERTICAL SPLIT SCREEN: the identical room rendered
twice, top half in bright morning light with THE FIRST-TIMER, bottom half in
night lamp light with THE ORACLE. Same furniture, same angle, same framing in
both halves — only the light and the person change.
ENVIRONMENT: A stylized living room. No brands or logos. NOTHING smoked, held

TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan. This is the pack's capstone and the only
episode that is text-forward throughout. Professor High is presenting findings,
not telling a joke.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on Professor High ALREADY MID-SENTENCE. No
title card, no logo, no greeting.
IMPORTANT — THE CHART IS THE PRODUCT. It must be legible as a still image on a
phone at arm's length, because the entire point is that people screenshot it.
Seven rows, each showing "A or B", accumulating one row at a time in sync with
the dialogue, then holding complete and unobstructed for the full 0:18-0:24.
Do NOT cover any row with a lower-third card during the hold.
ENVIRONMENT: Professor High's lab. Stylized, clean, warm practical lighting.
No product, packaging or paraphernalia anywhere. No brands or logos.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Static chest-up, deadpan, direct to lens, already
talking.
SAYS (PROF): "I have been classifying you for seven weeks. Here is the
finished chart."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:18) Slow push-OUT as the chart builds behind and around him, one
row landing per pair spoken.
SAYS (PROF): "Chaser or Reader. Grazer or Sprinter. Loyalist or Tourist.
Nose or Numbers. Archivist or Amnesiac. Host or Guest. Sunrise or Sunset."
ON SCREEN: the seven rows, accumulating in order
3. (0:18-0:24) Static hold on the COMPLETE chart, full frame, fully legible,
nothing overlapping it.
SAYS (PROF): "Seven binary axes. One hundred and twenty-eight distinct
people. Screenshot it, answer all seven, put the string in the comments."
ON SCREEN: THE FULL CHART (all seven rows visible)
4. (0:24-0:28) Cut back to Professor High, static chest-up.
SAYS (PROF): "Mine is Reader, Grazer, Loyalist, Numbers, Archivist, Host,
Sunset. This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: THIS IS WHY I'M HIGH
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Chart rows in bold sans-serif, white with heavy stroke,
pineapple yellow #D98E04 on the "or". Large enough to read on a phone. Keep
250px clear at the bottom and 120px at the top so the UI never covers a row.

The 100 · The Rotation
Full pack with beat tables, hooks, and captions →ROT-001 — 22 seconds
Professor High — THE ROTATION — ROT-001
Runtime: 22 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- No supporting cast — Professor High alone.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan. He is presenting a considered list, slightly
daring anyone to disagree, without ever raising his voice.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, ALREADY MID-SENTENCE. No title card, no logo,
no greeting.
IMPORTANT — NOTHING IS PASSED, LIT, HELD OR DEPICTED at any point. This is a
spoken list, not a staged scene. No product, packaging, paraphernalia or
smoking anywhere in the video.
IMPORTANT — THE FOUR-SLOT GRAPHIC: a simple four-slot card that fills one slot
per name as it is spoken, with the strain name and its dominant terpene. It
must be legible on a phone. Hold it complete before the final beat.
ENVIRONMENT: Professor High's lab. Stylized, clean, warm practical lighting.
No brands or logos.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Static chest-up, deadpan, direct to lens, already
talking.
SAYS (PROF): "Four slots. These are mine and I am not defending them for
very long."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:16) Slow push-out as the four-slot card builds, one slot per name.
SAYS (PROF): "Blue Dream, because it is myrcene-led and it is the control
group. Sour Diesel, because it is limonene and everyone is wrong about it.
Northern Lights, because it does exactly one thing. Jack Herer, because it
is terpinolene and there is nothing else like it in the top ten."
ON SCREEN: BLUE DREAM / MYRCENE - SOUR DIESEL / LIMONENE - NORTHERN LIGHTS
/ MYRCENE - JACK HERER / TERPINOLENE (accumulating)
3. (0:16-0:20) Hold on the complete card. A single line enters beneath it.
SAYS (PROF): "Not one of them clears twenty-two percent. That was not an
accident."
ON SCREEN: NONE OVER 22%
4. (0:20-0:22) Cut back to Professor High, static chest-up.
SAYS (PROF): "Four slots. Comments. This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: THIS IS WHY I'M HIGH
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Bold sans-serif, white with heavy stroke, pineapple
yellow #D98E04 on the terpene names. 250px clear at bottom, 120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Sparse strings building slightly as slots fill.
DO NOT: No product, smoking, packaging or paraphernalia. Nothing passed or
held. No medical claims and no claim that any strain produces any effect. No
real dispensary, brand or producer names — strain names only.
ROT-002 — 20 seconds
Professor High — THE ROTATION — ROT-002
Runtime: 20 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- THE MAXIMIZER — SWAPPABLE. Use the-maximizer-v1 if you have built it, or
cast ANY Cantina character who reads as: confident, decisive and completely
wrong — optimising for the biggest number.
- THE ORACLE — SWAPPABLE. Use the-oracle-v1 if you have built it, or cast ANY
Cantina character who reads as: reclined and generous, explains your own
experience to you with total confidence.
- THE BUDTENDER — SWAPPABLE. Use the-budtender-v1 if you have built it, or
cast ANY Cantina character who reads as: apron and name tag, likeable, has
an answer for everything — never dishonest.
- NOTE: The four named types appear ONLY as small portrait thumbnails inside
the four-slot card — use the four supporting-cast characters plus one plain silhouette for the fourth. They never
appear as full scenes and never speak
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan. He is compiling a list of hazards, not
insulting anyone.

product, packaging, paraphernalia or smoking anywhere.

SAYS (PROF): "The nightmare version. Four slots, maximum friction, no
survivors."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:15) Slow push-out as the four-slot card builds, one portrait
thumbnail per description.
SAYS (PROF): "The Maximizer, who will tell you the number. The Oracle, who
will explain your own experience to you. The Very Confident Budtender, who
is off duty and still doing it. And one person who has never brought
anything and says 'we.'"
ON SCREEN: THE MAXIMIZER - THE ORACLE - THE BUDTENDER - THE GUEST
(accumulating, with portrait thumbnails)
3. (0:15-0:18) Cut back to Professor High, static chest-up.
SAYS (PROF): "That is not a rotation. That is a hostage situation."

TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan. This is the most data-dense episode in the
pack but the format keeps it a list, not a lesson — four picks, four reasons,
no elaboration.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, ALREADY MID-SENTENCE. No title card, no logo.
IMPORTANT — NOTHING IS PASSED, LIT, HELD OR DEPICTED. No product, packaging,
paraphernalia or smoking anywhere.

SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Static chest-up, deadpan, already talking.
SAYS (PROF): "Same format, one level down. Four compounds instead of four
names."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:17) Slow push-out as the four-slot card builds.
SAYS (PROF): "Myrcene, at forty-six percent, because it is unavoidable.
Limonene, at twenty-five, because it is the other half of everything.
Caryophyllene, at fifteen, because it is the one that behaves differently.
And terpinolene, at four and a half, because most people have never
knowingly had it."
ON SCREEN: MYRCENE 45.8% - LIMONENE 25.4% - CARYOPHYLLENE 15.2% -
TERPINOLENE 4.5% (accumulating)
3. (0:17-0:21) Hold on the complete card. A single line enters beneath it.

The fourth is why anything is interesting."

rules: /social/cast
TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan, a little wistful. This is the honest version
and it should land slightly sadder than it is funny.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, ALREADY MID-SENTENCE. No title card, no logo.
IMPORTANT — SLOT FOUR MUST REMAIN VISIBLY EMPTY for the rest of the video.
That empty slot is the comment prompt and it must still be on screen during
the final beat.

paraphernalia or smoking anywhere.
ENVIRONMENT: Professor High's lab. Stylized, clean. No brands or logos.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:

SAYS (PROF): "Everyone posts the aspirational four. Here is the honest
one."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:14) Slow push-out as the four-slot card builds. Slots one to three
fill with plain grey silhouettes. SLOT FOUR STAYS EMPTY.
SAYS (PROF): "One person you actually see. One person who is always busy.
One person you have not asked in two years and will not. And slot four,
which has been empty since a disagreement nobody has resolved."
ON SCREEN: three filled silhouettes, slot four blank
3. (0:14-0:18) Push back in slightly, keeping the empty slot four in frame.
SAYS (PROF): "Slot four. Comments. Be specific. This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: SLOT FOUR
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Bold sans-serif, white with heavy stroke, pineapple
yellow #D98E04 on "FOUR". 250px clear at bottom, 120px at top.

conceding it is charmless. He is inviting disagreement without ever being
combative.

paraphernalia or smoking anywhere.

2. (0:05-0:16) Slow push-out as the four-slot card builds, one per name, each
in a distinct colour.
SAYS (PROF): "Blue Dream for myrcene. Sour Diesel for limonene. Gelato for
caryophyllene. Jack Herer for terpinolene. Four slots, four different
dominant compounds, no duplication anywhere."
ON SCREEN: BLUE DREAM / MYRCENE - SOUR DIESEL / LIMONENE - GELATO /
CARYOPHYLLENE - JACK HERER / TERPINOLENE (accumulating)
3. (0:16-0:19) Hold on the complete card. A single line enters beneath.
SAYS (PROF): "It is the most complete rotation available and it has no
personality whatsoever."
ON SCREEN: ZERO OVERLAP

TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan. He is genuinely engaged with what the
audience sent, and openly annoyed that one of them beat him.
IMPORTANT — PRODUCTION NOTE: All three rotations and handles are placeholders
marked [DATA: ...]. They must be replaced with REAL rotations pulled from real
comments on ROT-001 through ROT-005, with the commenter's handle shown on

1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Static chest-up, deadpan, already talking.
SAYS (PROF): "I read all of them. That was a mistake. Three worth showing
you."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:11) A four-slot card appears with the first audience rotation and
the commenter's handle above it.
SAYS (PROF): "[DATA: rotation 1 + handle]. All four myrcene. That is not a
rotation, that is one strain with four names."
ON SCREEN: [handle] + four slots
3. (0:11-0:16) Card changes to the second rotation and handle.
SAYS (PROF): "[DATA: rotation 2 + handle]. Genuinely better than mine.
Annoying."
ON SCREEN: [handle] + four slots
4. (0:16-0:20) Card changes to the third rotation and handle, then the closing
card.

them. This is why I'm high."

Professor High — THE OUTSIDER CONFESSION — OUT-001
Runtime: 20 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- THE OUTSIDER — SWAPPABLE. Use the-outsider-v1 if you have built it, or cast
ANY Cantina character who reads as: bright, tidy and sincere, talks straight
down the lens like a selfie video.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: This is a CONFESSION VIDEO, not a sketch. The Outsider talks straight
down the lens like she is posting to her own account — slightly embarrassed,
laughing at herself, completely likeable. She is smart and was wrong. She is
NEVER mocked.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on her already mid-confession, with "Okay so."
No title card, no logo, no narration first. No on-screen text until the final
beat.
IMPORTANT — SHOT STYLE: her shots should feel like a phone selfie video — a
loose static medium, slightly imperfect framing, plain domestic background.
This deliberately contrasts with Professor High's locked lab compositions.
IMPORTANT — PROFESSOR HIGH IS BARELY IN THIS. Two lines at the end. He does
not explain, correct, or elaborate.
ENVIRONMENT: A plain domestic room for the Outsider, then Professor High's
lab. No brands or logos. NOTHING smoked, held or consumed on camera. No
product or packaging visible.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:06) COLD OPEN. Static medium, selfie framing. THE OUTSIDER direct
to lens, mortified and amused at herself.
SAYS (OUTSIDER): "Okay so. This whole time. I genuinely thought indica and
sativa were, like, two different chemicals."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:06-0:14) Same framing, held. She keeps going, building.
SAYS (OUTSIDER): "Like I thought there was an indica molecule. And you'd
look at the label and it would say which molecule was in it. And everyone
kept saying the words like they meant something, so I never asked."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:14-0:18) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan,
entirely without smugness.
SAYS (PROF): "She was reasoning correctly. Everyone did say them like they
meant something."
ON SCREEN: nothing
4. (0:18-0:20) Static chest-up. Closing card.
SAYS (PROF): "The terpenes are the part that is real. This is why I'm

Professor High's closing line is a genuine compliment, not a punchline at her
expense.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, already mid-confession. No title card, no
logo. No on-screen text before 0:13.
IMPORTANT — SHOT STYLE: her shots are loose selfie-framed statics with a plain
domestic background; his are locked lab compositions. The contrast is the
point.

ENVIRONMENT: A plain domestic room, then Professor High's lab. No brands or
logos. NOTHING smoked, held or consumed. No product or packaging visible.

1. (0:00-0:06) COLD OPEN. Static medium, selfie framing. THE OUTSIDER direct
to lens, wincing at herself.
SAYS (OUTSIDER): "I want to be honest about something. For about a year I
thought the percentage on the jar was, like, a quality score. Out of a
hundred."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:06-0:13) Same framing, held.
SAYS (OUTSIDER): "So I'm standing there going 'twenty-two percent? That's a
D.' And nobody ever said anything. Because why would they. It's a number on
a shelf with no units."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:13-0:16) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.
Single card, lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "Twenty and a half is the average. Twenty-two is a good one."
ON SCREEN: AVERAGE: 20.5%
4. (0:16-0:18) Static chest-up. Closing card.
SAYS (PROF): "She was closer than the people who knew. This is why I'm
high."

SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:06) COLD OPEN. Static medium, selfie framing.
SAYS (OUTSIDER): "So I assumed — and I don't know why I assumed this — that
there was, like, a body. That registered the names."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:06-0:14) Same framing, held. Building into indignation.
SAYS (OUTSIDER): "Like a kennel club. And if two things are both called the
same thing, that means something. And apparently it means nothing? Anyone
can call anything anything?"
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:14-0:17) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.
Single card, lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "Correct. Two jars, same name, nothing chemically in common.
Entirely legal, entirely normal."
ON SCREEN: NO REGISTRY EXISTS
4. (0:17-0:19) Static chest-up. Closing card.

rules: /social/cast
TONE: Confession video. This is the meta episode — she is confessing about
THIS ACCOUNT. She is delighted and mortified in equal measure. Professor High
is entirely unbothered by the reveal and does not defend himself.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, already mid-confession. No title card, no
logo. No on-screen text until the final beat.
IMPORTANT — Professor High must NOT react comically to being called a
pineapple. He confirms it flatly, as a fact of no particular interest. Breaking
character to acknowledge the joke would kill it.
IMPORTANT — SHOT STYLE: loose selfie-framed statics for her, locked lab
compositions for him.
ENVIRONMENT: A plain domestic room, then Professor High's lab. No brands or
logos. NOTHING smoked, held or consumed. No product or packaging visible.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:06) COLD OPEN. Static medium, selfie framing. One hand half over
her face.
SAYS (OUTSIDER): "I have to say this. I followed this account for four
months and I genuinely thought he was a real professor."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:06-0:15) Same framing, held. Accelerating.
SAYS (OUTSIDER): "Because the numbers were right. I checked one. It was
right! So my brain just went, sure, that's a scientist. I did not clock the
— I did not clock that he's a pineapple. For four months."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:15-0:19) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan,
entirely unbothered.
SAYS (PROF): "The numbers are still right. That was the part that
mattered."
ON SCREEN: nothing
4. (0:19-0:21) Static chest-up. Closing card.
SAYS (PROF): "I am a pineapple. This is why I'm high."

Runtime: 17 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.

- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a

TONE: Confession video. The smallest stakes in the pack and the most purely
affectionate. She is mortified about something trivial.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, already mid-confession. No title card, no
logo. No on-screen text before 0:12.
IMPORTANT — The mispronunciation "car-YO-phyllene" must be clearly audible and
clearly wrong. Professor High never repeats it correctly on camera — he simply
does not comment on it, which is funnier and kinder than a correction.

saying 'car-YO-phyllene.' Out loud. To professionals."
ON SCREEN: nothing

SAYS (OUTSIDER): "And not one person corrected me. Which means either they
were being kind, or — and I think this is it — nobody there knew either."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:12-0:15) Cut to Professor High in the lab. Static chest-up, deadpan.
Single card, lower third.

Professor High — THE THOUGHT — HIT-001
Runtime: 12 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- No supporting cast — Professor High alone.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan, but INWARD — he is thinking out loud rather
than addressing anyone. His eyes are slightly past the lens for the first
beat, then come to camera for the answer.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD mid-thought. No title card, no logo, no
greeting. No on-screen text before 0:06.

It is the entire comic structure of the pack.

No product, packaging or paraphernalia anywhere. No brands or logos. NOTHING
is lit, held or consumed at any point.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:

lens, genuinely wondering.

ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:04-0:06) IDENTICAL framing, held. TOTAL SILENCE. No movement, no music,
no blink cut.
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:06-0:11) His eyes come to the lens. Single card enters the lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "So is a mango a very weak strain, or is cannabis a very
complicated fruit. It is neither. It is a shared compound, and it is in
hops too."
ON SCREEN: SHARED COMPOUND
4. (0:11-0:12) Closing card.
SAYS (PROF): "This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: THIS IS WHY I'M HIGH

This is the one episode where he is genuinely impressed by the fact.

on-screen text before 0:07.
IMPORTANT — THE PAUSE AT 0:05-0:07 IS TWO FULL SECONDS OF SILENCE.

3. (0:07-0:12) Slow push-in as his eyes come to the lens. Single card, lower
third.
SAYS (PROF): "So the receptors were not built for the plant. The plant

TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan, inward — and then a hard, flat correction.
This is the pack's pattern break: after five thoughts that turned out to be
real, this one is simply shut down.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD mid-thought. No title card, no logo. No
on-screen text until the final beat.
IMPORTANT — THERE IS NO PAUSE IN THIS EPISODE. That is the point. Where the
other five hold two seconds of silence, this one cuts him off with his own
answer. His eyes snap from past-lens to lens on the word "No" and nothing else
in the frame moves.
IMPORTANT — "No." is a complete beat. Let it sit. Do not soften it, do not add
a smile, do not add a follow-up clause.
ENVIRONMENT: Professor High's lab. Stylized, clean. No product, packaging or
paraphernalia anywhere. No food, no pepper grinder, no props at all. No brands
or logos.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Static chest-up, eyes slightly past the lens,
building real momentum and genuine curiosity.
SAYS (PROF): "Black pepper contains caryophyllene. Cannabis contains
caryophyllene. So technically, when I season something, am I—"
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:05-0:07) IDENTICAL framing. His eyes snap to the lens. Nothing else
moves.
SAYS (PROF): "No."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:07-0:08) Closing card.
SAYS (PROF): "This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: THIS IS WHY I'M HIGH
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Final beat only. Bold sans-serif, white with heavy
stroke, lower third. 250px clear at bottom, 120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Strings build under beat 1 and CUT DEAD on "No." One
soft chord returns on the final beat.
DO NOT: No product, no smoking, no paraphernalia, no props. No medical claims
and no suggestion that any food produces a cannabis-related effect — the
flat "No." is doing that compliance work and must not be undercut. No real
brand names.

TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan, presented as a data readout. He is narrating
a chart, not telling a joke.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on an EMPTY horizontal bar with no dialogue
for the first three seconds. No title card, no logo, no face. The unlabelled
bar is the hook.
IMPORTANT — THE OBJECT IS AN ABSTRACT CHART BAR. It is styled like a timeline
axis — a clean horizontal rectangle divided into six segments. It is NOT a
joint, a cigarette, or any product, and nothing is ever held, lit or consumed.
IMPORTANT — THE HOLD AT 0:18-0:22: the complete six-segment bar must be fully
visible, fully legible on a phone, and COMPLETELY UNOBSTRUCTED. No lower
third, no card, no character may overlap it. This video exists to be
screenshotted.
ENVIRONMENT: A clean chart plate — flat background in the brand palette, no
set, no props. Professor High's lab only for the final beat.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:03) COLD OPEN. Locked static, full frame. An empty six-segment
horizontal bar, unlabelled. NO DIALOGUE.
ON SCREEN: the empty bar
2. (0:03-0:18) Locked static. Segments fill and label one at a time, in sync

SAYS (PROF, voice only): "Section one: confidence. Section two: 'is this
working.' Section three: it is working. Section four: the deep and specific
interest in a snack. Section five: a long silence nobody comments on.
Section six: you are asleep and you did not decide to be."

SILENCE / ASLEEP (accumulating)

SAYS (PROF): "Save it. This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: THIS IS WHY I'M HIGH
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Segment labels in bold sans-serif, white with heavy
stroke, sized to read on a phone at arm's length. Pineapple yellow #D98E04 on
the segment dividers. Keep 250px clear at the bottom and 120px at the top so
the platform UI never covers a segment.
AUDIO: Original sound. Silence over the empty bar, then a soft tick as each
segment lands. Sparse strings under the hold.
DO NOT: No product, no smoking, no paraphernalia, nothing held or lit. The bar
must not resemble a joint, cigarette, or any smokable object. No medical
claims. No real brand names.

Professor High — SECTIONS — SEC-006
Runtime: 27 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- No supporting cast — Professor High alone.
- NOTE: VOICE ONLY until the final beat
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan. This is the pack's most useful chart and its
conversion episode. Played entirely straight.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD on an EMPTY six-segment bar, no dialogue, for
three seconds.
IMPORTANT — THE OBJECT IS AN ABSTRACT CHART BAR that reads as a stylised label
diagram. It must NOT resemble any real product packaging, brand, or jar
design.
IMPORTANT — SECTIONS FIVE AND SIX MUST BE VISUALLY DISTINCT from the first
four — different fill, so the conclusion is readable when muted and when
screenshotted.
IMPORTANT — THE HOLD AT 0:19-0:24: complete bar, legible, unobstructed except
the single lower-third card.
ENVIRONMENT: A clean chart plate, flat background in the brand palette.
Professor High's lab only for the final beat. No brands or logos.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:03) COLD OPEN. Locked static, empty six-segment bar. NO DIALOGUE.
ON SCREEN: the empty bar
2. (0:03-0:19) Segments fill and label one at a time. Sections five and six
fill in the distinct colour.
SAYS (PROF, voice only): "Section one: the name — invented. Section two:
indica or sativa — a shelving convention. Section three: 'top shelf' — a
price tier. Section four: the THC percentage — real, and less useful than
it looks. Section five: the terpene panel — real, and the part nobody
reads. Section six: the lab that tested it — the reason any of this is
knowable."
ON SCREEN: THE NAME / INDICA-SATIVA / "TOP SHELF" / THC % / TERPENE PANEL /
THE LAB (accumulating)
3. (0:19-0:24) Locked static hold on the COMPLETE bar. One card below it.
SAYS (PROF, voice only): "Sections five and six are the whole label. The
first four are the packaging."
ON SCREEN: SECTIONS 5 AND 6
4. (0:24-0:27) Cut to Professor High, static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS (PROF): "Go read section five on yours. This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: THIS IS WHY I'M HIGH
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Bold sans-serif, white with heavy stroke, phone-legible.

TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan, but this is a TOOL, not a sketch. He is
handing over something usable. Direct, unhurried, no joke.
IMPORTANT — THIS PACK INVERTS THE COMEDY TEXT RULE. Burned-in text is REQUIRED
on every beat, because this video will be reopened muted while someone is
standing in a shop.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, already mid-sentence. No title card, no logo.
IMPORTANT — THE FINAL FRAME IS A SUMMARY CARD carrying all three questions in
short form. That frame is what gets screenshotted and it must be legible on a
phone at arm's length.
ENVIRONMENT: Professor High's lab. Stylized, clean, warm practical lighting.
No product, packaging or paraphernalia anywhere. No brands or logos.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Static chest-up, deadpan, direct to lens.
SAYS (PROF): "Three questions to ask at a counter. Save this, because you
will not remember them."
ON SCREEN: SAVE THIS
2. (0:05-0:11) Same framing. Card changes.
SAYS (PROF): "One. 'What is the dominant terpene?' Not the strain, not the
percentage. The compound."
ON SCREEN: 1. WHAT'S THE DOMINANT TERPENE?
3. (0:11-0:17) Card changes.
SAYS (PROF): "Two. 'Can I see the panel?' It exists. It is on file. You may
look at it."
ON SCREEN: 2. CAN I SEE THE PANEL?
4. (0:17-0:21) Card changes.
SAYS (PROF): "Three. 'What else do you have with that same terpene?' That
is the question that finds you a second one."
ON SCREEN: 3. WHAT ELSE HAS THAT TERPENE?
5. (0:21-0:24) SUMMARY CARD — all three, short form, held clean.
SAYS (PROF): "Three questions. This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: 1. TERPENE - 2. PANEL - 3. WHAT ELSE
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Bold sans-serif, white with heavy stroke, sized to read
on a phone. Pineapple yellow #D98E04 on the key noun in each. Keep 250px clear
at the bottom and 120px at the top so nothing is covered by platform UI.
AUDIO: Original sound. Sparse strings, low, throughout.
DO NOT: No product, no smoking, no paraphernalia. No medical claims. No real
dispensary, brand, producer or lab names. Never suggest the budtender is
dishonest — these are questions, not accusations.

TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan. A tool, not a sketch. Teaching a skill.
IMPORTANT — BURNED-IN TEXT IS REQUIRED on every beat.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, already mid-sentence. No title card, no logo.
IMPORTANT — THE PANEL GRAPHIC is a STYLISED GENERIC terpene panel — a simple
list of terpene names with bars and percentages. It must NOT reproduce any
real lab's certificate layout, letterhead, or branding. Invent the layout.
IMPORTANT — THE FINAL FRAME IS A SUMMARY CARD: "TOP LINE - GAP - TOTAL", held
clean and legible.
ENVIRONMENT: Professor High's lab, plus a clean full-frame chart plate for the
panel graphic. No product or packaging. No brands or logos.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS (PROF): "A terpene panel looks like a wall of chemistry. You only need
three things off it."
ON SCREEN: SAVE THIS
2. (0:05-0:12) Cut to the stylised panel graphic. The top line highlights.
SAYS (PROF): "One: the top line. Whatever is highest is the dominant
terpene, and that is the character of the whole thing."
ON SCREEN: 1. THE TOP LINE = THE CHARACTER
3. (0:12-0:19) Same graphic. The top three lines highlight, showing the gap
between them.
SAYS (PROF): "Two: the gap. If the top one is far ahead, it will taste and
behave like itself. If the top three are close, it is a blend and it will
be subtler."
ON SCREEN: 2. THE GAP = HOW STRONG THE CHARACTER IS
4. (0:19-0:23) Same graphic. The total line at the bottom highlights.
SAYS (PROF): "Three: the total. Higher total terpenes generally means more
aromatic, more distinctive. Nothing to do with THC."
ON SCREEN: 3. THE TOTAL = HOW LOUD IT IS
5. (0:23-0:26) Cut back to Professor High. SUMMARY CARD held clean.
SAYS (PROF): "Top line, gap, total. This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: TOP LINE - GAP - TOTAL
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Bold sans-serif, white with heavy stroke, phone-legible.
Pineapple yellow #D98E04 on the numbered keyword. 250px clear at bottom, 120px
at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Sparse strings, low.
DO NOT: No product, no smoking, no paraphernalia. No medical claims and no
claim that any terpene produces any effect — "behaves like itself" refers to
aroma and character only. No real lab, brand, producer or dispensary names,
and no reproduction of a real certificate layout.

SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:05) COLD OPEN. Static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS (PROF): "'Top shelf' is not a grade. It is not tested, defined, or
awarded by anyone."
ON SCREEN: 'TOP SHELF' IS NOT A GRADE
2. (0:05-0:12) Same framing. Card changes.
SAYS (PROF): "It is a price tier. It means that shop decided to put it on
the higher shelf and charge more for it. Another shop may put the identical
product on the middle shelf."
ON SCREEN: IT IS A PRICE TIER
3. (0:12-0:18) Slow push-in. Card changes.
SAYS (PROF): "There is no committee. There is no threshold. Not one strain
in the most popular ten even clears twenty-five percent THC, and most of
them sit on a top shelf somewhere."
ON SCREEN: NOT ONE TOP-10 CLEARS 25%
4. (0:18-0:22) SUMMARY CARD held clean.

jar."
ON SCREEN: SAVE THIS
2. (0:05-0:12) Same framing. Card changes.
SAYS (PROF): "THC is a ceiling, not a description. Average is twenty and a
half. About one in ten reaches twenty-five. The spread between a good one

reliably."

smells like anything, tastes like anything, and behaves distinctively. It

ON SCREEN: READ TOTAL TERPENES
4. (0:20-0:25) SUMMARY CARD held clean.
SAYS (PROF): "One number tells you how much. The other tells you what. This

TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan and notably WARM. CRITICAL — this must land
as friendly, never as a gotcha. The whole point is that the question is kind
and that good budtenders pass it easily.
IMPORTANT — BURNED-IN TEXT IS REQUIRED on every beat.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, already mid-sentence. No title card, no logo.

It simply requires them to name a property instead of a vibe."

2. (0:05-0:12) Same framing. Card changes.

SAYS (PROF, voice only): "Ask for the dominant terpene. Ask to see the
panel. Ask what else has that terpene. Read the top line, the gap, and the

Professor High — LOOK IT UP — LUP-004
Runtime: 16 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- No supporting cast — Professor High alone.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan. He is generous about the mistake — nobody is
lying, the board was wrong.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, already mid-sentence. No title card, no logo.
IMPORTANT — HE MUST NOT NAME A STRAIN or resolve the viewer's question.
ENVIRONMENT: Professor High's lab. Stylized, clean. No product, packaging or
paraphernalia. No brands or logos.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:06) COLD OPEN. Static chest-up, deadpan. Single card, lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "Fewer than one strain in two hundred actually reaches thirty
percent. About one in ten reaches twenty-five. The average is twenty and a
half."
ON SCREEN: UNDER 1 IN 200 REACH 30%
2. (0:06-0:13) Slow push-in. No card.
SAYS (PROF): "Which means most people who say they only smoke thirties have
never had one. Not because they are lying. Because it was printed on a
board and nobody checked."
ON SCREEN: nothing
3. (0:13-0:16) Static chest-up. Closing card.
SAYS (PROF): "Does yours. Go and look. This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: DOES YOURS?
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Beats 1 and 3. Bold sans-serif, white with heavy stroke,

AUDIO: Original sound. Sparse strings.
DO NOT: No product, no smoking, no paraphernalia. No medical claims. No real

TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan, thoughtful. This is the most nuanced claim
in the pack and he does not oversell it.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, already mid-sentence. No title card, no logo.
IMPORTANT — CLAIM DISCIPLINE: "That is a pattern, not a prescription" must be
delivered verbatim. It is the hedge that keeps this compliant. Do not cut it
for time.
IMPORTANT — HE MUST NOT NAME ANY STRAIN or resolve which terpene is involved
for the viewer.
ENVIRONMENT: Professor High's lab. Stylized, clean. No product, packaging or
paraphernalia. No brands or logos.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:06) COLD OPEN. Static chest-up, deadpan. Single card, lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "Nearly half of all cannabis is led by the same terpene. So
statistically, your best one and your worst one are quite likely to share
it."
ON SCREEN: SAME TERPENE, DIFFERENT NIGHT
2. (0:06-0:14) Slow push-in. Card changes.
SAYS (PROF): "Which would mean the terpene was never the whole story —
dose, setting, tolerance and your own chemistry all get a vote. That is a
pattern, not a prescription. But you cannot see the pattern without the
panels."
ON SCREEN: A PATTERN, NOT A PRESCRIPTION
3. (0:14-0:17) Static chest-up. Closing card.

rules: /social/cast
TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan, ending on genuine invitation. This is the
one episode that describes the product directly, so it must stay understated —
he is correcting a misconception, not pitching.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, already mid-sentence. No title card, no logo.
IMPORTANT — SCALE PHRASING: say "over twenty thousand names" and nothing more
precise. Never state a researched-strain count, and never frame the catalogue
as a fixed inventory.
ENVIRONMENT: Professor High's lab. Stylized, clean. No product, packaging or
paraphernalia. No brands or logos. No app or website interface is shown.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:06) COLD OPEN. Static chest-up, deadpan.
SAYS (PROF): "People ask whether their strain is 'in the database.' That is
the wrong question, and it is a question about a list."
ON SCREEN: nothing
2. (0:06-0:14) Slow push-in. Single card, lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "Over twenty thousand names are already known. If yours is not
researched yet, it gets researched — that is what the thing does. It is not
a finished list. It is a starting surface."
ON SCREEN: 20,000+ NAMES - RESEARCH ON DEMAND
3. (0:14-0:18) Static chest-up, the faintest smile. Closing card.
SAYS (PROF): "So bring me the strangest name you have ever been sold. This

TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan, faintly provoking. "I will wait" is
delivered completely flat, not smugly.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, already mid-sentence. No title card, no logo.
IMPORTANT — HE MUST NOT NAME ANY STRAIN. The viewer supplies all four, which
is the entire point.
ENVIRONMENT: Professor High's lab. Stylized, clean. No product, packaging or

SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:06) COLD OPEN. Static chest-up, deadpan. Single card, lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "Name your four favourites. Three terpenes lead eighty-six
percent of everything classified."
ON SCREEN: 3 TERPENES -> 86%
2. (0:06-0:13) Slow push-in. Card changes.
SAYS (PROF): "So four favourites is very unlikely to be four profiles. It
is more likely two, possibly one, and you have been paying a premium for
the names in between."
ON SCREEN: 4 NAMES =/= 4 PROFILES
3. (0:13-0:17) Static chest-up. Closing card.
SAYS (PROF): "Pull all four. I will wait. This is why I'm high."

TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan.
IMPORTANT — THIS IS A CONTROLLED TEST. Its twin, CTL-006, carries the SAME
fact, the SAME lines and the SAME runtime, but OPENS ON PROFESSOR HIGH
NARRATING instead of on the Oracle. Everything else — text treatment, audio
bed, shot vocabulary, closing line — must be identical between the two.

SAYS (PROF): "Chaser or Reader. This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: CHASER OR READER?
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Bold sans-serif, white with heavy stroke, lower third,
pineapple yellow #D98E04 on "25%". IDENTICAL treatment in CTL-008. 250px clear
at bottom, 120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Sparse strings. IDENTICAL bed in CTL-008.
DO NOT: No product visible. No smoking or consuming. No medical claims. No
real dispensary, brand, producer or lab names.
CTL-008 — 20 seconds
Professor High — CONTROL PACK — CTL-008 (Pair D, variant DATA)
Runtime: 20 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- No supporting cast — Professor High alone.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan, straight delivery. No joke, no scene, no
archetype. He is reporting a finding.
IMPORTANT — THIS IS A CONTROLLED TEST. Its twin, CTL-007, delivers the SAME
FACT inside a comedy scene with an archetype, at the same runtime, with the
same text treatment and the same audio bed. Only the register differs. Both
close on the identical line.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, already mid-sentence. No title card, no logo.
ENVIRONMENT: Professor High's lab. Stylized, clean, warm practical lighting.
No product, packaging or paraphernalia. No brands or logos.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:06) COLD OPEN. Static chest-up, deadpan, direct to lens. Single
card, lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "Not one strain in the ten most popular clears twenty-five
percent THC. Not one."
ON SCREEN: NOT ONE TOP-10 CLEARS 25%
2. (0:06-0:14) Slow push-in. Card changes.
SAYS (PROF): "The most widely bought cannabis in the country is not the
strongest cannabis in the country. It is around twenty percent, which is
the average, which is what almost everything is."
ON SCREEN: THE MOST POPULAR =/= THE STRONGEST
3. (0:14-0:17) Static chest-up.
SAYS (PROF): "Popularity is tracking something other than potency, and it
has been the whole time."
ON SCREEN: nothing
4. (0:17-0:20) Static chest-up. Closing card.
SAYS (PROF): "Chaser or Reader. This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: CHASER OR READER?
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Bold sans-serif, white with heavy stroke, lower third,
pineapple yellow #D98E04 on "25%". IDENTICAL treatment to CTL-007. 250px clear
at bottom, 120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Sparse strings. IDENTICAL bed to CTL-007.
DO NOT: No product, no smoking, no paraphernalia. No archetypes or scenes. No
medical claims. No real dispensary, brand, producer or lab names.
CTL-009 — 20 seconds
Professor High — CONTROL PACK — CTL-009 (Pair E, variant WITH CTA)
Runtime: 20 seconds | 9:16 vertical
CHARACTERS
- professor-high-v1 — LOCKED. Already loaded with his image, voice and
personality. Do NOT re-describe him — re-describing a saved character is the
main cause of drift.
- No supporting cast — Professor High alone.
- Any supporting role may be recast freely between packs, never inside one — a
recast mid-pack turns a format test into a casting test. Briefs and swap
rules: /social/cast
TONE: Nature-documentary deadpan.
IMPORTANT — THIS IS A CONTROLLED TEST. Its twin, CTL-010, is the IDENTICAL
script with the explicit call to action removed from the final beat — it
closes on the catchphrase alone. Everything else must match exactly: same
lines, same timing, same cards, same audio bed.
IMPORTANT — THIS VARIANT CARRIES AN EXPLICIT SPOKEN AND WRITTEN CTA on the
final beat, naming the site out loud. That is the variable under test.
IMPORTANT — OPENING: Start COLD, already mid-sentence. No title card, no logo.
ENVIRONMENT: Professor High's lab. Stylized, clean, warm practical lighting.
No product, packaging or paraphernalia. No brands or logos.
SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:06) COLD OPEN. Static chest-up, deadpan. Single card, lower third.
SAYS (PROF): "Three compounds lead eighty-six percent of all classified
cannabis. Myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene."
ON SCREEN: 3 TERPENES -> 86%
2. (0:06-0:14) Slow push-in. Card changes.
SAYS (PROF): "Everything else — every name on every board, every price
tier, every argument in every comment section — is happening inside the
remaining fourteen percent."
ON SCREEN: THE OTHER 14%
3. (0:14-0:17) Static chest-up.
SAYS (PROF): "Which means the menu is much smaller than it looks."
ON SCREEN: nothing
4. (0:17-0:20) Static chest-up. Closing card.
SAYS (PROF): "Go and look up which of the three leads yours, on
thisiswhyimhigh dot com. This is why I'm high."
ON SCREEN: LOOK UP YOURS
ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Bold sans-serif, white with heavy stroke, lower third,
pineapple yellow #D98E04 on "86%". IDENTICAL treatment in CTL-010. 250px clear
at bottom, 120px at top.
AUDIO: Original sound. Sparse strings. IDENTICAL bed in CTL-010.
DO NOT: No product, no smoking, no paraphernalia. No medical claims and no
claim that any terpene produces any effect. No real dispensary, brand,
producer or lab names.

script with an explicit call to action on the final beat. Everything else must
match exactly: same lines, same timing, same cards, same audio bed.
IMPORTANT — THIS VARIANT HAS NO EXPLICIT CALL TO ACTION. The final beat is the
catchphrase alone. Do not name the site out loud, do not add "look it up", do
not add a URL card. The catchphrase IS the only funnel element and that is the
variable under test.
