People Safety – shot by shot
Every shot in the badge, in order, with its timecode, a frame from it, where it came from, what was done to it and why. Open items from the 17 August meeting are flagged against the shot they belong to.
Lesson 1 · People Safety – start here
Brandon walks home along the street at dusk; narration introduces tricky people.
Built: 2017 export, picture untouched
Velma: ‘Video is very good.’
Continues to the line about learning to recognise tricky people.
Built: 2017 export
The player STOPS here. From 12.40 the original says ‘Click on the People Safety icon’, which does not exist in this build.
NEVER PLAYS. The stale click-the-icon instruction.
Built: 2017 export, left in the file but gated out by endAt=12.40
Cutting the file would have desynced the captions; gating is safer.

Lesson 3 · Secrets, surprises and privacy
Title beat – ‘what is the difference between a secret, a surprise and privacy?’
Built: Built 17 Aug, flat illustrated style
Whole lesson is NEW – it does not exist in the 2017 course. Velma: ‘a much better video than the first one produced.’
PRIVACY defined – your own space, things you do not have to share.
Built: Built 17 Aug
Privacy examples – door shut, password, diary. Gate at 28.00.
Built: Built 17 Aug
SURPRISE defined – hidden for a little while to make somebody happy.
Built: Built 17 Aug
A surprise always comes out in the end. Gate at 42.30.
Built: Built 17 Aug
SECRET defined – somebody asks you never to tell. Some secrets are fine.
Built: Built 17 Aug
The four unsafe feelings named – scared, confused, sad, uncomfortable.
Built: Built 17 Aug
Gate moved to 61.30 on 17 Aug so the question is asked AFTER the feelings are named.
The rule – if a secret makes your tummy feel funny, tell a trusted adult. Gate at 70.85.
Built: Built 17 Aug
Gate moved from 65.50 to 70.85 – it used to be asked before the rule was spoken.
A good adult will never ask you to keep a secret that makes you feel bad.
Built: Built 17 Aug
Summary – privacy, surprises, the secret that feels wrong. THE DOOR IS OPEN IN THIS SHOT.
Built: Built 17 Aug
Velma: ‘The door is open at the end of the video. It should be closed.’ – punch item D3.

Lesson 4 · The six rules – rule 1
Brandon with the monster card; RULE 1 ‘check first with an adult in charge’. Gate at 11.50.
Built: 2017 export, picture untouched
Neighbour at the kitchen doorway holds out a wrapped present; Brandon’s hands stay down and he looks to his mother.
Built: Re-animated 17 Aug (job 104) to replace a shot whose kitchen, lighting and Mum’s clothes all changed across the cut
Continuity: Mum went from a cream apron in a warm kitchen to a pink top in a cooler one, and Brandon gained a backpack, in one cut.

Lesson 4 · The six rules – rules 2 and 3
RULE 2 – adults should ask other adults for help, not kids.
Built: 2017 export
RULE 3 – a parent and child agree the family code word at the kitchen table, the word shown on screen.
Built: Re-animated 17 Aug
The original narrated the code word over a shot of a family laughing. Spencer: ‘There’s nothing in that video about a code word.’
At school pickup Brandon ASKS for the code word and the driver answers; his face resolves from unsure to relieved. Gate at 16.60.
Built: Re-animated 17 Aug
The original showed an unlabelled woman by a car and ended on Brandon looking worried while the narration delivered the reassurance.

Lesson 4 · The six rules – rules 4 and 5
RULE 4 ‘be alert’ – Brandon stops, head up, scanning.
Built: Re-animated 17 Aug
The original never demonstrated alertness. NOTE: Velma still finds this shot odd – punch item E5.
RULE 5 – don’t keep unsafe secrets. Gate at 13.90.
Built: 2017 export
Gate moved from 9.50 to 13.90 on 17 Aug so it is asked after rule 5 is fully explained.

Lesson 4 · The six rules – rule 6, No Go Yell Tell
RULE 6 introduced; NO – Brandon stands tall, palm out.
Built: 2017 export
GO – Brandon moves away down a shopping street.
Built: Re-animated 17 Aug
Original had Go, Yell and Tell as one unbroken run cycle. VELMA REJECTS THIS SHOT: he should not run, he should walk – punch item E6.
YELL – Brandon stopped, hands cupped, mouth wide, heads turning.
Built: Re-animated 17 Aug
VELMA REJECTS THE TIMING: he yells while the narration is still saying GO, and he is yelling at nobody – punch item E7.
TELL – Brandon arrives at a trusted adult at a front door. Gate at 15.80.
Built: Re-animated 17 Aug
Original ended in an unidentified woman’s open arms. VELMA: the adult still looks like the shopkeeper he ran from, and the badge never teaches WHO is safe – punch item E8.

Lesson 5 · Your trust meter – instincts
Brandon on a shopping street; narration about who is trustworthy. A gibberish AI shop sign is BLURRED OUT from 1.30 to 8.50.
Built: 2017 picture with a tracked gaussian blur added 17 Aug
The sign read ‘Caoke / Tameo’. Blurred rather than re-animated so the original performance is kept.
Butterflies as unease – grey-blue, agitated, Brandon unsure. Gate at 20.72.
Built: Re-animated 17 Aug
The original played the warning-feeling beat as delight: golden butterflies and a serene smile. VELMA: butterflies are in his chest, should be his stomach – punch item F5.
F5 Butterflies appear in Brandon’s chest, not his stoma
Lesson 5 · Your trust meter – the three feelings
CONFUSED – shrug, brow drawn, eyes searching. Plain warm background.
Built: Re-animated 17 Aug, time-stretched 1.172x to cover the line
Original had eyes closed and smiling on ‘confused’.
UNCOMFORTABLE – shoulders in, chin down, eyes glancing away.
Built: Re-animated 17 Aug (job 102)
Original used the identical frown for uncomfortable and scared. Re-shot again later the same day to remove a backpack that appeared mid-film.
SCARED – eyes wide, brows high, small gasp, hands rising. Gate at 17.15.
Built: Re-animated 17 Aug (job 103)
Gate moved from 4.10 to 17.15 so the question is asked after all three feelings are named.
F4 ‘What might your instincts be saying?’ is confusing
Lesson 5 · Your trust meter – the meter itself
The trust meter introduced.
Built: 2017 export
‘Your trust meter should be going – I do not trust, go away.’ Gate at 16.60.
Built: 2017 export
Gate moved from 5.00 to 16.60 so it is asked after the answer is given. THE METER ART ITSELF IS REJECTED – punch items F1, F2, F3.
F1 There are TWO different trust meter designs in the b F2 The meter currently answers YES / NO. The original a F3 The trust meter graphic itself is ugly – ‘looks like
Lesson 5 · Your trust meter – four alarms
The RIDE alarm – a man leans out of a car at the curb and offers Brandon a lift.
Built: 2017 export, picture untouched
Measured, not assumed: the line ‘offers you a ride’ is spoken 6.02-7.06 and this picture runs to 8.04, so this line was already on its own picture.
The GIFT alarm – a man kneels and holds out a wrapped present.
Built: 2017 export, picture untouched
‘Offers you an expensive gift’ is spoken 10.98-12.58, inside this picture. Also already correct.
The photographer stands UPRIGHT at his full height with a wide gap of grass between him and Brandon, phone at his own chest height; Brandon holds a flat palm up.
Built: RE-ANIMATED 20 Aug (job fe9e7b79, take 2). Take 1 came back with him bent over again because the shipped frame was passed as an image reference and the picture beats the text – so take 2 was driven from a NEW start image (job 87d850bc) that stages him standing four metres away.
VELMA: ‘That’s creepy. Maybe we have him not bend over and be in his face like that. Be more natural.’ – punch item F6. The window also moved from 16.52-20.82 to 16.56-19.10 so the picture changes when the SECRET line starts, not 1.7s into it.
An adult holds one finger upright against his own lips – the keep-it-quiet sign – and holds it. Gate at 21.90. Player STOPS at 22.30.
Built: RE-ANIMATED 20 Aug (job 2c46b3b5, take 1). Window starts at 2.00s of the take, which is where the finger reaches the lips; anything earlier shows it still climbing.
THERE WAS NO SHUSH ANYWHERE IN THE FILM. Spencer: ‘make sure you synchronize… the finger over his lips… at the point where the voice says that.’ The secret line is spoken 19.18-21.28 and the old picture did not change until 20.88 – 1.7s late, and when it did change it was only the photographer standing up. Now the gesture is at the lips within 0.12s of the cut – punch item F6.
Never played. The original ‘click the button to practice’ tail, gated out by endAt=22.30.

Cutting it would have moved the running time and every gate with it.

Lesson 6 · Your dad’s been in an accident
Brandon walking; the van approaches. VELMA REJECTS: the van drives up onto the pavement here – punch item G1.
Built: 2017 export
The driver waits, still, through the measured silence.
Built: Re-animated 17 Aug (job 21)
Original had him miming a full line into 1.5s of silence.
The driver speaks both his lines, animated, in frame to his last word.
Built: RE-ANIMATED 19 Aug (job 47774b33). The WOMAN now leans out and delivers the accident line, flat and businesslike per RULE-never-perform-the-lure, with the man at the wheel. Take 1 accepted.
Original held a closed-mouth grin through both lines and drifted out of frame mid-sentence. VELMA: make it a man AND a woman, with the woman speaking – punch item G2.
Brandon’s reaction and the code word. Gates at 17.40, 18.60, 21.00, 25.60.
Built: 2017 export
VELMA: the driver disappears behind the question – punch item G3. And drop ‘click on Brandon to see what he is thinking’ – punch item G4.
G1 The van drives up onto the sidewalk in one shot and G2 Every predator in the badge is a man. G3 The driver’s shot disappears while the question is o G4 ‘Click on Brandon to see what he is thinking’ is fus
Lesson 7 · The stranger on the bike
Brandon walking home from school.
Built: 2017 export
The teenager stands holding his bicycle, waits, then asks directions; Brandon visibly replies while the stranger is still there. Gates at 15.50, 22.00, 22.60.
Built: Re-animated 17 Aug (t32_bike_full)
Original had him performing 4-5s early and holding a smartphone while asking a child for directions – both fixed. TWO DEFECTS REMAIN: Brandon’s trousers drift from tan to blue inside this shot (a re-take came back worse and was rejected), and the stranger is gone the moment this shot ends – see the next shot.
Brandon walks on. THE STRANGER IS GONE AND THE BICYCLE STANDS RIDERLESS from 22.6s.
Built: RE-ANIMATED 19 Aug (job db09a4d6). The teenager keeps both hands on the handlebars to the end of the shot; the bike is never left standing on its own. This is the tail I previously claimed was fixed and had not touched. Take 1 accepted.
Velma found this 18 Aug – punch item H3. I had recorded the riderless bike as fixed; it was only fixed inside the re-animated middle, and this tail reintroduces it. Also: narration and caption disagree on ‘video store’ vs ‘video game store’ – punch item H1.
H1 Narration and caption disagree: one says ‘video game H3 The teenager vanishes near the end and the bicycle i
Lesson 8 · The lost puppy
Brandon walking; narration lifted UNCHANGED from the minivan film.
Built: Built 17 Aug
Whole lesson is NEW. Built with zero new writing so nothing had to be approved: the narration is Velma’s own from another film.
A man asks Brandon to come to the park and help find his lost puppy.
Built: Built 17 Aug
His line is Sergeant Mungar’s verbatim example from the police film.
Brandon turns and STARES at the stranger for the last eight seconds. Gates at 19.50, 21.50, 24.00.
Built: Built 17 Aug
Velma 18 Aug: he should walk away, not stare – punch item L2. The man’s voice is also robotic – punch item L1.
L1 The man’s voice is robotic. L2 Brandon turns and stares at the stranger for the las
Lesson 9 · The pizza nobody ordered – part 1
‘Pop quiz. There’s an unexpected visitor at the door.’ VELMA: remove the words ‘Pop quiz’ – punch item I1.
Built: 2017 export
The delivery man on the porch – ‘Pizza delivery. I’ve got the pizza you ordered.’
Built: Re-animated 17 Aug (job 101)
The original dissolved between two different porches mid-line, putting TWO delivery men on screen at once, one of them semi-transparent.
Brandon inside the hall, worried, alone. THE FRONT DOOR IS STANDING OPEN. Gate at 13.70.
Built: RE-ANIMATED 19 Aug (job fd8f2bc0). The front door is SHUT in every frame and Brandon listens from inside, a step back from it. Take 1 accepted. This is the lesson whose whole teaching is that you do not open the door.
Fixed the two-Brandons defect, but introduced a worse one: the door is open in the lesson that teaches you not to open it. Velma found it 18 Aug – punch item I2. The doors also do not match: blue outside, white panelled inside.
The delivery man hammers and leans in, face hardening, as the audio escalates. Gate at 24.30.
Built: Re-animated 17 Aug
Original had him standing still and mildly sad while the audio said ‘I’m not leaving until you open this door.’

Brandon on the stairs, phone to ear, serious and composed. Gate at 11.80.
Built: Re-animated 17 Aug
Original had him smiling throughout the 911 instruction and laughing with his eyes shut at 19.04.
No open edits against this lesson.
Lesson 10 · A police officer explains tricky people
What a tricky person is – someone who might want to fool children. Gate at 10.30.
Built: Built 17 Aug, Maeve voice, Sgt Mungar’s script verbatim
Replaces the 480p Hamilton Police interview at Velma’s request for a female officer. VELMA NOW WANTS HER BLACK OR ANOTHER VISIBLE MINORITY – punch item J1.
They don’t always look tricky; judge behaviour, not appearance.
Built: Built 17 Aug
They might pretend to be someone else, or ask a child for help.
Built: Built 17 Aug
She QUOTES the lure – ‘I’ve lost my dog… come with me to the park.’
Built: Re-shot 18 Aug
First version had her performing the lure with a sweet coaxing face. The original officer delivers it flat, in profile, with an interviewer in the room. Re-shot flat and grave with the eyeline off camera.
The hospital lure. Gate at 49.45.
Built: Built 17 Aug
Stay alert; you don’t owe them anything.
Built: Built 17 Aug
The four words – No. Go. Yell. Tell. Gate at 67.55.
