Add a Studio Assistant to the Original Clip

Edit the complete original mirrored video [OG Video Ref] at its exact source duration. The source video controls Kyle's identity, anatomy, hair, entire performance, camera angle, movement, tight framing, all spoken words, original voice, lip synchronization, repetitions, pauses and resets. Preserve these without retiming. Do not mirror again.
CHARACTER: Kyle remains screen-right looking screen-left. Replace only his clothing using [character sheet wardrobe ref] as wardrobe authority, not anatomy or pose.
SUPPORTING CAST: Add Assistant [assistant sheet ref] in the open screen-left space beside Kyle, just slightly behind him, with separate silhouettes. Place him close to Kyle's depth plane: almost equal apparent head size, slightly wider upper-chest-to-head framing rather than a distant waist-up figure. Keep both faces sharp with sufficient depth of field. Assistant watches the offscreen pirate screen-left with a mildly furrowed attentive brow and slow agreeing nod, receptive rather than upset.
LOCATION — INTERIOR SOUNDSTAGE: [location ref] supplies reverse-stage geometry and curtain walls only, not its illumination or wide framing. The pair stand near the edge of the offscreen white cyc with black curtains several meters behind them. Cyc and pirate stay offscreen in front of them.
KEY PROPS: Assistant's approved tablet is raised into the bottom of his close framing to allow visible fingertip contact, without covering his face. For each dialogue cue he looks down, raises it, taps a few entries, then fully lowers it below frame and looks back screen-left. Its faint unreadable screen glow is weaker than ambient facial illumination.
VISUAL STYLE: Preserve source camera and Kyle's framing; position Assistant physically nearer rather than zooming or widening Kyle. Natural photographic detail, crisp readable faces.
GLOBAL LIGHT & COLOR: Broad diffuse neutral frontal bounce from the offscreen illuminated cyc provides normal readable brightness across both faces and clothing. Soft light wraps both cheeks and eye sockets, lifting hard cast cheek shadows with low-contrast gentle modeling and retained skin texture. Foreground people are brighter than the dim background. Background overhead fixture is dimmed and distant curtains stay dark. Neither man is under a hard spotlight. Stable exposure and neutral skin tone, not dramatic underexposure.
SOUND DESIGN THROUGHLINE: Preserve the complete original audio, all repeated lines, words and pauses. Assistant remains silent.
NEGATIVE / EXCLUSIONS: No new Kyle gestures, altered dialogue, additional people, visible pirate, cuts, camera repositioning, readable tablet interface, added music or speech.
Shot 1 [00:00–source end]: One uninterrupted edit. Assistant choreography below uses approximate timing from the original; synchronize to actual source speech without changing it.
[00:00–source end] On 'A little less scary and intense...', The assistant performs the full action: agreeing nod, downward glance, tablet raised into frame, several visible taps, then tablet lowered completely as Kyle ends 'something he can't find' around 00:08. Return attention screen-left for any remaining source tail.
CONSTRAINTS: Exact full source duration, no shortening or extending. Preserve Kyle's entire recorded performance and soundtrack. One continuous shot, zero cuts, stable identities, clothing and hand anatomy. No text, logos or subtitles.
