The Keys
A dad hands his 16 year old daughter the car keys for her first drive alone. TrueDNA rides along, rewards her good driving with TrueBuck$, and he gets a text that lets him breathe out. One family, one evening, dusk to night.

Please check each shot against what he asked for
- It follows his script part by part and second by second: 0:00, 0:08, 0:18, 0:32, 0:44, 0:52.
- Every narrator line is his script's line, in order, read by Daniel.
- Real people, as he answered on 04/10 ("Real people and the truebucks"): a real-looking dad, daughter, house, car. No cartoon, no stock clips.
- It looks like a family story, not a car commercial: natural evening light, real skin, a lived-in home. These are his own words from his last family film brief.
- The TrueDNA device is shown plugged in under the dash, as his script says.
- The three habits are each seen on their word: a smooth stop, a steady speed, the phone face-down.
- TrueBuck$ is seen twice: "+25" on the dash screen, and the balance in his app, in the look of his real app.
- Her text reads exactly "Made it. Also I'm rich."
- The end screen: his logo, "Drive safe. Earn more. Come home.", "Rewards terms apply. Visit gettruedna.com." The site is gettruedna.com, as he asked us to make sure.
4 things to decide (the plan already picks one, tell me if it is wrong)
- TrueBucks or TrueBuck$ on screen. His script types "TrueBucks". His app, his brochure and his site write "TrueBuck$". The plan uses TrueBuck$.
- Which logo. His site today uses the "TRUE DNA" logo (shown on the end screen below). His brochure and his dealer film use a "TrueDNA" logo. The plan uses the site one, the only large clean file we have.
- The two spoken lines at the start. "Text me when you get there." and "Dad." are said by the dad and daughter on camera. Daniel's recording has only the narrator. The plan: two natural generated voices with the lips matched. That is a small paid step, so it needs Eli's yes before I make them.
- Daniel's last line. Daniel also reads "Rewards terms apply. Visit gettruedna.com." out loud. His script has it only as words on screen. The plan keeps both, since it fits the 8 seconds.
About the pictures
- Each picture is the first frame of its shot. In the film every shot moves.
- The dad, the daughter, the car and the house are the same in every shot. If one looks different in a picture, tell me which shot.
- Words inside phone and car screens are placed by us in the film, so they will be sharp and spelled right.
