The timed shot list
The full talking track stitched end to end (3:19), with pauses for the non-verbal beats and the overlapping his/her audio on the stars scene. The timestamps below set exactly how long each scene runs and where the b-roll cutaways fall. Picture gets built to this.
Master voice track (play it)
Music bed under the whole thing. Final voices swappable to ElevenLabs later.
SC 1 — The meet-cute, walk & talk 0:00 – 0:57

Monika: "So what's your rising? Your moon? What's your Human Design?" B-roll: pull back to bodies walking
0:24–0:31
Joe: "Uh... I think I'm a manifesting something? One of those. Probably." B-roll: his face, losing it
0:31–0:57

0:57–1:00
[pause: Joe fully overwhelmed]
SC 2 — Discovery & the eureka 1:00 – 1:24
1:00–1:05
Joe: "This is just so complex. I'm never going to remember any of this." books on the table

1:13–1:21
Sacred Audio (his voice): "You were never the loud one. Your power was always in the depth..." earbuds in, eyes softening

1:24–1:30
Sacred: "I wait for the yes that lights me up..." jog, lines appear

1:37–1:43
Sacred: "I already am the man I was written to be..." kitchen, lines fuller
1:43–1:51
Narrator: "He stopped trying to become someone else. He just started sounding like himself." constellation blazes full
SC 4 — The reunion (juice shop) 1:52 – 2:21
1:52–2:01
Joe: "Manifesting Generator, by the way. Sacral authority..." he leads, fluent
2:01–2:02
Monika: "...okay." her surprised reaction close-up
2:02–2:15
Joe: "And my Gene Keys Life's Work is Gate 1. My whole shadow is comparing myself..." cut between his face + her listening
2:15–2:18
Monika: "Wait. How did you get all that?" delighted
2:18–2:21
Joe: "Here. Try this." the handoff, phone
SC 5 — The shared journey (dual audio) 2:21 – 2:37
2:21–2:28
His + Hers OVERLAP: "Gate one..." / "Gate twenty-two, the Grace..." split text, two voices clashing
2:28–2:35
His + Hers OVERLAP: "My authority is sacral..." / "My Pearl is openness..." same music, two truths
SC 6 — Monika's breakthrough 2:37 – 3:19
