Real person. FedM8 business partner. Likeness used with consent for JBNX / FedM8 promotional video (owner-attested 2026-10-30).

## Use rules

- Use only for approved FedM8 / JBNX promotional work.
- Darren approves every script he is shown speaking before release.
- No voice cloning without his own recording and his sign-off.
- No edits that change his identity, age or body, or place him in scenes he has not approved.
- Remove assets on his request.

## Authority

The restored front headshot governs the face, beard, hairline and eyewear. The restored owner turnaround governs body proportions and the reference outfit. Both are identity-faithful restorations (face creativity 0) of the owner photos, which stay preserved as the originals; on any conflict the original photos win. Generated angles extend these references and never override them.

000°, 090° and 180° are restored crops of the owner-supplied turnaround. 045°, 135°, 225°, 270° and 315° are generated interpretations at 4K; the supplied views win on any conflict.

The owner photos (darren-face-000-v001, darren-source-turnaround-v001) are preserved unchanged. The v0.3.0 anchors are identity-faithful Topaz restorations of them with face creativity 0.

## Identity

| Feature | Keep consistent |
|---|---|
| Face | Broad oval face, full cheeks, beard-defined jawline and rounded chin; retain source proportions and natural asymmetry. |
| Eyes | Dark brown eyes as rendered in the source; retain spacing, eyelid shape and outer-corner shape behind the lenses. |
| Brows | Medium-thick, dark-brown, gently arched brows; retain thickness, length and placement above the frames. |
| Nose | Straight bridge of medium width with a rounded tip; defer to source proportions. |
| Mouth | Medium-width mouth, mustache over the upper lip, fuller lower lip; relaxed closed-lip half smile as the neutral. |
| Facial hair | Full, neatly trimmed dark-brown beard and mustache with a crisp cheek line; narrow soul patch joining the chin beard, with clean-shaven gaps below each mouth corner. Keep length, density and shape. |
| Hair | Dark-brown hair combed straight back with height and natural sheen on top, shorter tapered sides and natural temple recession; retain hairline and volume. |
| Eyewear | Rectangular full-rim glasses, dark tortoise frames with clear lenses; keep in every shot unless a shot brief removes them. |
| Skin | Light warm skin tone as rendered in the source, with natural texture; source lighting is not calibrated skin color. |
| Body | Preserve the turnaround's broad shoulders, chest and midsection volume, torso length, arm and leg lengths and natural posture. Do not slim, bulk up or lengthen the body. |
| Reference outfit | Charcoal two-button suit, white open-collar dress shirt with no tie, white folded pocket square, black belt, black cap-toe oxford shoes and a wristwatch on the left wrist. |

Unspecified: height, exact body measurements, ethnicity, age, voice, unseen distinguishing marks.

## Angles

Nominal turn order: front, left-facing profile, rear, right-facing profile, front. At 090 degrees the nose points image left; at 270 degrees it points image right. Left and right describe image-facing direction, not measured anatomical sides.

## Still prompt

```
Show Darren, real-person model 003, likeness used with consent. Use the attached restored front headshot anchor (darren-face-000-v003) and the nearest v0.3.0 full-body reference. Preserve his facial proportions, dark brown eyes, gently arched dark-brown brows, straight nose with rounded tip, full trimmed dark-brown beard and mustache with the narrow soul patch and clean gaps below the mouth corners, slicked-back dark-brown hair and hairline, rectangular dark tortoise full-rim glasses, light warm skin and natural texture. Preserve shoulder width, chest and midsection volume, torso length, limb lengths and natural asymmetry. Reference wardrobe: charcoal two-button suit, white open-collar shirt, white pocket square, black belt, black cap-toe oxfords, wristwatch on the left wrist. Height: not specified; never claim a measured height. Scene: {scene}. Wardrobe: {wardrobe}. Expression: {expression}. Camera: {camera}. Lighting: {lighting}. Produce one stable scene first frame. Do not reshape the body beneath the clothes. Hidden geometry is interpreted, not measured.
```

## Motion prompt

```
Animate the attached accepted scene first frame. Action: {one_simple_action}. Camera: {camera_motion_or_locked}. Duration: {seconds}. Keep his existing face, beard, glasses, body proportions, outfit, hair, lighting, scene and ground contact stable throughout. Use natural movement and continuous anatomy. Do not add scene changes, new people or wardrobe changes. Dialogue, only a script Darren has approved: {approved_dialogue_or_none}. Preserve lip sync when audio is enabled. Avoid flicker, face drift, beard drift, warped frames or lens glare changes, body drift, floating heels, extra fingers and sliding feet.
```

## Avoid

identity changes, beard reshaping, thinning or removal, changed soul patch or beard gaps, glasses removed or restyled unless briefed, warped frames or lens distortion of the eyes, shifted hairline or changed hair volume, younger, older or thinner face, changed skin tone, new facial marks, plastic skin, mirrored asymmetric features, facial warping, frame-to-frame flicker, body slimming, bulking or lengthening, wardrobe drift in reference shots.

## Release checks

- Visible face matches the front headshot anchor; body matches the nearest turnaround view.
- Eye spacing, brows, nose, mouth width, jaw and chin remain stable.
- Beard shape, soul patch and clean gaps below the mouth corners remain stable.
- Glasses keep the same rectangular dark tortoise frame and do not warp.
- Hairline, combed-back direction and volume remain stable.
- Skin tone and apparent age remain consistent under intended lighting.
- Shoulders, chest, midsection and limb proportions stay consistent; clothing does not reshape them.
- Any spoken line matches a script Darren approved.
- Identity remains stable through motion, speech, blinks and the final frame.

## Production

1. **References.** Done in v0.3.0: restored anchors, five body angles, four face turns and three expressions at 4K. Darren reviews each before production use.
2. **Shot brief.** Define one action, scene, camera, lighting, wardrobe, aspect ratio, duration and the approved script, if any.
3. **Scene first frame.** Create one scene still. Review face, beard, glasses and anatomy before motion; record reviewer and image hash.
4. **Motion test.** Short native-resolution test from the accepted first frame. At most two attempts per shot.
5. **Qa.** Check face, beard, glasses, hands, hair, flicker, motion continuity and audio when present. Reject drift.
6. **Final.** Render 1080p only after an accepted test. Darren approves any clip of him speaking before release.

Reference stills: fal-ai/nano-banana-pro/edit at 4K, seeds [3303, 3304], inputs darren-face-000-v003, darren-source-turnaround-v003. Highest-likeness model in a same-person comparison published 2026-10-06 (fuser.studio).
Restoration: fal-ai/topaz/upscale/image · face Recovery V2, 2x, face enhancement 0.6, creativity 0 · turnaround Low Resolution V2, 4x, face enhancement 0.4, creativity 0.
Runner: temporary Supabase Edge Function jbnx-m003-v3-once (fixed jobs, token-gated, retired to 410 after use); keys read by name from Edge secrets.

Motion renderer: kie kling-3.0/video (pro, 5 s, sound off, one Darren element). 18 credits per second in pro mode without audio ($0.09/s at list); observed 90 credits per 5 s clip. Kling handles this real person's likeness; Seedance 2.x tops the Artificial Analysis image-to-video board but blocks real-person faces at the model layer. The 4K mode exists but adds cost and file weight for reference clips delivered at 1080p.

Motion baselines (4 accepted, 0 rejected; reviewed 2026-10-31; 12 sampled frames per clip with first, middle and final identity, hands, feet and ground-contact inspection, plus a frame-by-frame added-text scan against the first frame; no exhaustive playback claim.):
- Turn: assets/darren-motion-turn-v003.mp4 · accepted · first frame darren-motion-floor-v003 · Front to full left-facing profile; eyes open; feet stay on the floor.
- Walk: assets/darren-motion-walk-v003.mp4 · accepted · first frame darren-motion-floor-v003 · Relaxed steps toward the camera with natural arm swing; face and suit stable.
- Sit: assets/darren-motion-sit-v003.mp4 · accepted · first frame darren-motion-chair-v003 · Turns and sits on the chair, settles upright; hands and feet stay anatomical.
- Talk: assets/darren-motion-talk-v003.mp4 · accepted · first frame darren-face-000-v003 · Natural mouth movement, small head motion and blinks; muted (sound off).

Voice proof: assets/darren-voice-proof-v003.mp4 · fal-ai/sync-lipsync/v2 (lipsync-2-pro) on the accepted talk baseline, driven by the approved S12 line. ASR returned "There's a veteran directory, plus teaming tools to find primes and subs who need what you do"; waveform correlation 0.9998 at 0.0 s. ASR- and waveform-verified short proof; lip sync visually reviewed, not machine-scored. Three kie kling/ai-avatar-pro attempts were rejected for invented caption text.

QA report: qa.json. Planning helper: production-helper.py (offline; makes no provider calls).

Ledger: 43 jobs, 33 accepted outputs, 10 rejected; quoted $9.758 of the $12 cap; 600 kie credits observed; actual bills unreconciled.

Hash the exact reference bytes, prompt, provider/model/version, settings, duration, resolution and audio options. Reuse accepted outputs; review existing outputs before retrying. A fixed seed is not an identity guarantee.

Cost per accepted deliverable includes all retries, discarded jobs, audio, LLM, finishing, storage and compute. Unknown cost stays unknown.

Voice (v0.2.1): ElevenLabs voice named Darren (b9b2f5znNrb6j2MRRfm8), a designed voice, not a clone of him. Owner-selected 2026-10-30; approved by Darren 2026-10-30 (relayed by the owner). Sample: assets/darren-voice-sample-v002.mp3.

Next: Darren reviews the v0.3.0 references, motion baselines and voice proof. Each production scene still needs its own first-frame and motion review. Voice C (eleven_v4, used in the latest promo cut) needs Darren's approval before it becomes the model voice.

## Versions

- v0.1.0 (2026-10-30): Established the identity from two owner-supplied images: front headshot as face anchor and a three-view turnaround as body anchor (000°, 090°, 180°). Identity rules, consent and use rules, still and motion prompts. Five angles, face turns, expressions and voice pending.
- v0.2.0 (2026-10-30): Added five generated body angles (045°, 135°, 225°, 270°, 315°), four face turns and three expressions from the v0.1.0 anchors (fal nano-banana-2.1 edit, 13 jobs, 1 rejected). Lead review done; Darren's approval pending. Voice still pending.
- v0.2.1 (2026-10-30): Production voice set to the owner's ElevenLabs voice named Darren (designed, not a clone of him) with a sample. Darren's approval of the voice pending.
- v0.2.2 (2026-10-30): Darren approved the ElevenLabs Darren voice and his lines in the FedM8 promo (relayed by the owner). Used in the FedM8 promo v1.
- v0.3.0 (2026-10-31): Quality rebuild to the model 001 standard, at the owner's request (the v0.2 references were soft because the owner photos were small and heavily compressed). Restored both owner photos with fal Topaz (identity-faithful, face creativity 0) and regenerated all five body angles, four face turns and three expressions at 4K on Nano Banana Pro. Added a 360° sheet, two scene first frames (floor, chair), four Kling 3.0 pro motion baselines (turn, walk, sit, talk) and an audio-driven voice proof (Sync Lipsync 2 Pro on the approved S12 line), with a QA report and planning helper. v0.1 and v0.2 files stay preserved. Darren's review of v0.3.0 is pending.
