The day at a glance

Participant update from Christian: Nefi Guzman is confirmed for 11:45 AM and Aaron De La Torre for 1:30 PM. Alfredo’s 11 AM confirmation is still pending. These are user-reported confirmations, not a fresh participant-message check.

Facility access remains separate: Grand Terrace 10 AM entry and Village 12:55 PM room entry still need confirmation. The client window ends at 3 PM. The saved 3:15 PM departure/late checkout and any contingency through 4 PM require explicit facility permission.

Direct contact details remain in the private crew copy already provided to the crew. Crew compensation and call transcripts are excluded from this public reference.

Schedule · protected blocks

Grand Terrace first, then Village Healthcare. Twenty minutes for each interview, followed by fifteen minutes of supporting B-roll. Shared facility coverage counts once.

Capture approach

Interviews

Prioritize clean, complete answers and usable sound. Aim for a relaxed conversation about a real experience, with a specific example rather than broad praise. Record full sentences and listen before moving to the next question.

20-minute flow: 0–2 minutes name and comfort → 2–13 core prompts and a real example → 13–18 clarify → 18–20 close, check sound and coverage.

Fifteen-minute B-roll plan

Real-time first: build a wide / medium / detail sequence and capture a genuine interaction. Get two distinct usable inserts per participant; a third is optional. Complete shared facility shots once. Add only one or two slow-motion shots if time remains. Do not double every setup or spend the transfer/reset buffers on extra coverage.

Proposed technical standard · verify before rolling

• Project, edit, delivery, interviews and real-time B-roll: 23.976 fps (RED display 23.98).
• Optional 59.94 fps capture for 2.5× slow motion on a 23.976 timeline. Restore 23.98 capture afterward. Use this only for selected non-dialogue shots.
• Start around a 180° shutter, then record/play a flicker test under the actual room lights and dimmers. Adjust for the room rather than assuming the starting value is safe.
• Audio: 48 kHz / 24-bit, matching sync settings. Record a sync test, clap/slate as needed, monitor on headphones and spot-play picture and sound from both cameras.
• Verify the exact RED body: original KOMODO needs the 4K window for 59.94 capture; KOMODO-X supports 6K at that rate. Check actual body, firmware, format, media and adapters before choosing a mode.
• Lock white balance for each room. Check exposure, focus and matching monitoring transforms before the participant sits down.

Pre-departure checks

Interview prompts

Use Morgan’s five core prompts for each participant, then follow the story. Confirm the actual job title before choosing role followups.

1. Tell me your name, role and the building we are in.
2. What does your day look like when it comes to medications?
3. Think of a medication issue Carvajal handled. What happened?
4. When you call Carvajal, who picks up and what happens next?
5. What would you tell a facility leader choosing a pharmacy?

Close: “Is there anything I didn’t ask that you want to say?” Then, “In a sentence, what is Carvajal to your building?”

No scripted praise, named-competitor comparisons or uncleared clinical claims. Keep patient information out of answers and picture. Confirm permission before filming.

Visual look and room plan

Natural skin, neutral whites and a clean background with separation. Carvajal navy #002D56, blue #5593BD and white are working graphic colors from public assets, pending the brand guide. Use them mainly for titles, map and closing graphics; no matching wardrobe or props are required.

Lighting and camera placement

• Prefer a larger, quiet room with background separation. Get room/window photos; verify blinds, curtains or a quieter alternative.
• Proposed kit: amaran F22 soft key near the subject and three STORM 80c units used selectively for edge/background detail and reserve. Verify F22 c/x, modifiers, supports and power.
• Ask Trevor/Aaron about black duvetyne or solids, sizes, stands and clamps. Shape daylight and reduce spill; bring a backup light for bright sunlight or a difficult room.
• Keep both cameras on the same side of the interview line. The participant looks toward the interviewer just off the main lens. The tighter angle favors the shadow side. Agree physical left/right placement in the recorded test; do not cross the line.
• Stryde’s Blackmagic gimbal or Aaron’s rig was discussed. Use Aaron’s rig only if the changeover is quick and comfortable; verify the actual setup before adding another task.

People and places

Morgan Collins coordinates for Carvajal. Published facility addresses do not establish filming entrance, parking or room access; confirm each separately.

Wrap, offload and drive options

Choose capacity from the combined footage size of both cameras. Expect a 2 TB SSD if the total fits comfortably; aim for no more than about 1.6 TB to leave headroom. If even close, move to the larger HDD. The locally verified fallback is 5 TB, rather than the 4 TB size discussed.

Neither drive is purchased or reserved. Availability was last checked October 19 around 8:28 PM Central. Verify stock and price before travel or purchase. HDD copies are slower and should run while stationary. Do not promise a complete verified copy during the drive home. Protect morning arrival/setup buffers before adding a shopping stop.

Checklist marks on this public reference do not confirm another person’s availability or authorize a booking, purchase or schedule change.
