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."
   ON SCREEN: LAB LOG #0247 — 3:17 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
   SAYS: "I want to know what happened to the other fourteen. That is tomorrow.
   More tomorrow night."
   ON SCREEN: MORE TOMORROW NIGHT

ON-SCREEN TEXT STYLE: Bold sans-serif, white with heavy stroke, max 6 words
per line, lower third. Key terms in pineapple yellow #D98E04. Word-synced.
Keep 250px clear at the bottom and 120px at the top.

AUDIO: Sparse ambient bed, room tone audible. Candle-flicker tone on the
lower-third snap. No music swell. 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.

SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:03) neutral, low light + static chest-up + monospace lower-third
   SAYS: "Lab log two four eight. Two oh four AM."
   ON SCREEN: LAB LOG #0248 — 2:04 AM
2. (0:03-0:12) neutral, quiet + slow push-in + terminal-style output
   SAYS: "I broke the popularity ranker tonight. On purpose. I pulled THC
   percentage out of it entirely and re-ran the whole thing."
   ON SCREEN: I REMOVED THC FROM THE RANKER
3. (0:12-0:24) neutral, annotating + whip cut to + handwritten annotation over top-ten list
   SAYS: "Here is what I already knew going in, and what still bothers me. Not
   one strain in our top ten clears twenty-five percent THC. The most
   popular cannabis in the country is not the strongest. It never was."
   ON SCREEN: NOT ONE TOP-10 CLEARS 25%
4. (0:24-0:38) excited, crown perked + static chest-up + two-column comparison
   SAYS: "So the number everybody shops by is not the number that made these
   strains famous. People have been picking by THC for a decade while the
   actual winners were being decided by something else entirely."
   ON SCREEN: THE SHOPPING NUMBER ISN'T THE WINNING NUMBER
5. (0:38-0:45) neutral, leaning out of light + slow push-in + closing card
   SAYS: "Tomorrow I want to look at what is disappearing instead of what is
   winning. More tomorrow night."

SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:03) neutral, tired, low light + static chest-up + monospace lower-third
   SAYS: "Lab log two four nine. Four twelve AM. I should be asleep."
   ON SCREEN: LAB LOG #0249 — 4:12 AM
2. (0:03-0:13) neutral, quiet + slow push-in + data table on screen
   SAYS: "I asked the question from last night. What happened to the other
   terpenes. And I do not love the answer."
   ON SCREEN: I DON'T LOVE THE ANSWER
3. (0:13-0:26) disappointed, crown drooping + whip cut to + three slivers on a chart
   SAYS: "Terpinolene leads about one in twenty-two strains. Pinene, one in
   fifty. Linalool, one in sixty-six. Together those three lead under eight
   percent of everything."
   ON SCREEN: 1 IN 22 / 1 IN 50 / 1 IN 66
4. (0:26-0:36) neutral, annotating + static chest-up + handwritten annotation
   SAYS: "That is not variety with a long tail. That is a long tail that is
   barely there. If you have never had a linalool-dominant strain, that is
   not a gap in your experience. It is one in sixty-six, and nobody labels
   which one."
   ON SCREEN: 1 IN 66. NONE LABELED.
5. (0:36-0:40) neutral, leaning out of light + slow push-in + closing card
   SAYS: "I want to know if this is getting worse. More tomorrow night."
   ON SCREEN: IS IT GETTING WORSE?

SHOTS + DIALOGUE:
1. (0:00-0:03) neutral, low light + static chest-up + monospace lower-third
   SAYS: "Lab log two five zero. Three thirty-eight AM."
   ON SCREEN: LAB LOG #0250 — 3:38 AM
2. (0:03-0:14) neutral, quiet + slow push-in + terminal query running
   SAYS: "I ran the share of strains at or above thirty percent THC tonight. I
   expected something like ten percent. I want you to hear the actual
   number."
   ON SCREEN: I EXPECTED ABOUT 10%
3. (0:14-0:24) skeptical, sitting still + whip cut to + big number card
   SAYS: "Fewer than one in two hundred. Not one in ten. One in two hundred."
   ON SCREEN: FEWER THAN 1 IN 200
4. (0:24-0:38) disappointed, crown drooping + static chest-up + distribution with ceiling marked
   SAYS: "The highest single figure we have ever recorded is thirty-four point
   eight percent. And I can walk into shops where half the menu claims to
   be above thirty. Those two facts cannot both be describing the same
   plant."
   ON SCREEN: RECORD: 34.8%
5. (0:38-0:48) neutral, annotating slowly + slow push-in + handwritten annotation
   SAYS: "I am not going to accuse anybody of anything at three in the morning. I
   am going to note that the average strain we have measured is twenty and
   a half percent, and that number has never once been on a promotional
   sign."
   ON SCREEN: AVG 20.5%. NEVER ON A SIGN.
6. (0:48-0:50) neutral, leaning out of light + static chest-up + closing card
   SAYS: "More tomorrow night."
   ON SCREEN: MORE TOMORROW NIGHT

   ON SCREEN: LAB LOG #0251 — 2:51 AM
2. (0:03-0:14) neutral, quiet intensity + slow push-in + callback to night one chart
   SAYS: "Five nights ago I said three terpenes run eighty-six percent of
   cannabis and I thought that was the finding. It was not the finding. It
   was the setup."
   ON SCREEN: THAT WASN'T THE FINDING
3. (0:14-0:28) excited, annotating fast + whip cut to + scatter plot, cluster circled
   SAYS: "Because when I sorted by how far ahead the leading terpene sits from
   the second one, a pattern fell out. There is a whole population of
   strains where one terpene is not just leading — it is running away with
   the entire profile."
   ON SCREEN: ONE TERPENE RUNNING AWAY
4. (0:28-0:40) excited, leaning toward lens + static chest-up + lopsided profile graphic
   SAYS: "Those are the strains people describe with absolutes. 'It knocked me
   out.' 'I could not stop talking.' Not because they are strong. Because
   they are *lopsided*. Nothing else in the profile is there to argue with
   the loudest molecule."
   ON SCREEN: NOT STRONG. LOPSIDED.
5. (0:40-0:45) neutral, leaning out of light + slow push-in + closing card
   SAYS: "I have a name for this and I am not ready to say it yet. Follow. More
   tomorrow night."
   ON SCREEN: I HAVE A NAME FOR THIS
