A traditional hand-drawn FILM STORYBOARD SHEET for scene 1: one page divided into a clean 3x3 grid of NINE separate rectangular panels, three rows of three, each panel a 16:9 rectangle with a thin ruled black border and a small hand-written panel number in its top-left corner from 1 to 9. Thin white gutters between panels. Off-white paper background with faint tooth. MEDIUM, STRICT: rough graphite pencil drawing only. Loose confident director's sketch, visible pencil strokes, hatching and smudged shading for shadow, some construction lines left in. Monochrome grey graphite, NO colour anywhere, NO paint, NO digital rendering, NO photorealism. It must look drawn by hand on paper in a few minutes per panel. No named characters — stage the action with anonymous figures. Divide the following 10-second scene into NINE consecutive story beats yourself, in strict chronological order, and draw one panel per beat. Vary the shot size between panels — do not draw nine versions of the same framing. THE SCENE: ⭐ BINDING INSTRUCTIONS — read these first and obey them in every shot ⭐ STAGING — STRICT INSTRUCTION (binding for every shot) Screen axis: walkway runs screen-left → screen-right behind the desk; Artyom crosses left → right; women sit facing the camera at the desk front. RELATIONS (physical, in every shot where both are in frame): Полина and Арина are INTIMATE — shown by: Полина and Арина seated side by side at the same desk, laughing together over Polina's scribbling; Arina grabs Polina's notebook playfully and both lean toward each other, eyes locked on the same page. Артём and Полина are INTIMATE — shown by: Артём walks behind Полина with a warm smile directed down toward Полина. Артём and Арина are INTIMATE — shown by: Артём walks behind Арина with a warm smile directed down toward both women. OBJECTS (distance and motion are FACT wherever the object is seen; no shot may bring a far or gone object nearer, larger or beside a character unless its motion says it is approaching; a shot may leave an object out of frame): desk: in the FOREGROUND, large in frame; stays at this distance from the camera unless the action moves it — hands lift, drop or catch it, an impact shoves, dents or breaks it, as the action says; in the OPENING shot (later shots may frame it out); wooden desk spans frame, women seated at front side facing camera. desk lamp: in the FOREGROUND, large in frame; stays at this distance from the camera unless the action moves it — hands lift, drop or catch it, an impact shoves, dents or breaks it, as the action says; in the OPENING shot (later shots may frame it out); lit lamp at screen-left end of desk, only light source. bookshelves: in the BACKGROUND, small; stays at this distance from the camera unless the action moves it — hands lift, drop or catch it, an impact shoves, dents or breaks it, as the action says; in the OPENING shot (later shots may frame it out); along the walkway behind the chairs. walkway: in the MIDGROUND; stays at this distance from the camera unless the action moves it — hands lift, drop or catch it, an impact shoves, dents or breaks it, as the action says; in the OPENING shot (later shots may frame it out); runs screen-left to screen-right behind the desk chairs, full frame width in shot 3. OPENING — camera from AHEAD — the characters face the lens (they move or look toward the camera); locked-off wide from the front of the desk, eye level, static 3 s: Полина: right third of frame; foreground; holds still (seated at desk), scribbles fast across notebook with pen in right hand, laughing; gaze toward Арина, eyes on Polina's notebook; holding pen. Арина: left third of frame; foreground; holds still (seated at desk), laughing; gaze toward Полина, eyes on Polina's notebook. Артём: OFF SCREEN in this beat (may be heard or implied, never visible). BEAT 2 — camera from AHEAD — the characters face the lens (they move or look toward the camera); medium two-shot waist-up, slow lateral drift screen-right following the notebook slide: Полина: center of frame; foreground; laughs, leans toward Арина, pen still in right hand; gaze toward Арина, eyes on the notebook Arina now holds; holding pen. Арина: left third of frame; foreground; grabs Polina's notebook with both hands, pulls it screen-left to her side, points right index finger at the page, laughing; gaze toward Полина, eyes on the notebook. Артём: OFF SCREEN in this beat (may be heard or implied, never visible). EXIT (last frame) — camera from AHEAD — the characters face the lens (they move or look toward the camera); medium-wide locked from front, desk foreground, full walkway width visible behind chairs: Полина: right third of frame; foreground; holds still (seated), laughing over notebook, pen in right hand; gaze toward Арина, eyes on notebook on Arina's side; holding pen. Арина: left third of frame; foreground; holds still (seated), laughing over notebook; gaze toward Полина, eyes on notebook. Артём: center of frame; background; walks screen-left to screen-right along walkway behind the chairs, tea cup in right hand on camera side, turns head down toward the women with warm smile, keeps walking, reaches right frame edge mid-stride; gaze toward Полина, warm smile toward both women; holding tea_cup. End rule: ends on Artyom mid-stride reaching the right frame edge at 0:09.9, tea cup in hand, women still laughing over notebook; no collapse, no drop, no exit completed, no one stands up The screen axis stays the same in every shot. SHOT LIST IS FACT. PRIORITY WITH AN AUTHORED SHOT LIST: (1) WHAT happens comes from the shot list — who fires, reloads, ducks, is hit, climbs, falls or kicks, and in which seconds; nothing may cancel it: not a beat's motion, not relations, not a barrier, not the end rule. (2) Continuity comes from the cast cards and the previous exit: identities, held props, wounds. (3) WHERE and HOW it is staged comes from the staging: zones, depth, screen axis, camera side; relations and a barrier describe how the action is covered, never a reason to drop it or to move a fighter off screen. (4) The prose gives look, place and mood only. "holds still" means no travel, never no action. The last frame is the state AFTER the last shot; the end rule forbids only what the shot list does not contain.

Both women still laughing, Polina's notebook on @Арина's side, pen in @Полина's right hand, lamp lit. 1. TEMPO & INTENT This is the opening clip of a warm family fairy tale. Its whole job is to plant a long friendship: two young women who have laughed together forever, and a young man the two of them already know, passing by with a cup of tea. The tempo is quick and light. There is one small event per shot, nobody freezes, and every shot ends in the middle of a movement. - Shot 1 (0:00-0:03) is the only static picture and lasts 3 seconds. Its event is the fast scribble and the burst of shared laughter. - Shot 2 (0:03-0:07) is the playful snatch: @Арина pulls the notebook away and points at what is written. - Shot 3 (0:07-0:10) is the walk: @Артём crosses the full width of the frame behind them, smiling, and is still walking when the clip ends. The feeling is cozy, golden, affectionate and a little mischievous. Everyone on screen is an adult: two young adult women and one young adult man in casual home clothes. The picture is bright enough in the lamp's pool that every hand, the pen, the notebook and the tea cup read clearly from the first frame. 2. FORMAT & SETTING - Format: 16:9, exactly 10 seconds, three shots joined by two hard cuts at 0:03 and 0:07, native diegetic audio. - Setting: a cozy bedroom study at night, matching the attached location plate. - A long wooden desk runs across the frame, its warm honey-brown planks catching the lamp light. - At the screen-left end stands the single desk lamp. It is the only light source in the room and casts a golden pool over the desktop and the two women. - Next to the lamp sits the stack of exactly four open notebooks, with a few loose papers scattered across the desk. - Behind the two occupied chairs a wooden-floored walkway runs from the left frame edge to the right frame edge. Behind the walkway stand tall bookshelves packed with books, then patterned wallpaper, all falling into soft amber shadow. - There is no window light and no sky. The room is lit from inside by the lamp alone, with gentle bounce light off the desk and the papers. - The location plate shows the two chairs empty. In this clip both chairs are occupied from frame 0: @Полина in the left chair, @Арина in the right chair. 3. CHARACTERS Faces and hair follow the attached character cards exactly. Wardrobe follows this prompt, and each person keeps it identical in every shot. All three are adults. - @Полина: slender young woman with fair skin, an oval face, brown eyes, and long straight dark brown hair falling over her shoulders. - Wears a coral knit sweater-top with thin shoulder straps and natural lips, with no jewellery. - Holds the pen in her right hand for the whole clip and sits in the screen-left chair. - Silhouette line: dark straight hair, coral top, pen in right hand, left chair. - @Арина: slender young woman with fair skin, an oval face, dark brown eyes, defined brows, and long wavy platinum-blonde hair. - Wears a mustard-yellow knit sweater-top with thin shoulder straps and natural lips, with no jewellery. - Sits in the screen-right chair; from 0:04 she holds Polina's notebook in front of her. - Silhouette line: wavy platinum-blonde hair, mustard top, right chair. - @Артём: tall, slim young man with fair skin, short dark brown hair and blue eyes. - Wears a soft heather-grey hoodie over a white T-shirt, with dark jeans. - Carries the single white ceramic tea cup in his right hand at chest height, on the side facing the camera. - Appears only in shot 3, walking left to right along the walkway behind the chairs. - Silhouette line: tall, grey hoodie, white tea cup in right hand, walking. - Performance: - Laughter is open and physical: shoulders shake, heads tip toward each other, eyes crinkle. - @Артём's smile is warm, easy and brotherly, a friendly glance down at two people he has known a long time. - Skin and fabric have visible texture in the stylized animated look: knit weave on the sweater-tops, soft cotton on the hoodie. - Light comes from one side (the lamp, screen left). Poses are always mid-action, never posed toward the lens. 4. MOTION — PER-SECOND 0:00 — SHOT 1, WIDE, locked-off at eye level from the front of the desk. Opening state exactly as the plate: - The warm study at night, lit only by the lit desk lamp at the screen-left end of the wooden desk, next to the stack of exactly four open notebooks. - @Полина sits in the left chair and @Арина in the right chair, both leaning over Polina's notebook lying open in front of @Полина, both smiling and looking down at the notebook. - The pen is in @Полина's right hand, its tip resting on the open sheet. - @Артём is just outside the left frame edge. 0:01 — @Полина drives the pen fast across the sheet in quick, bold scribbles with her right hand, her left hand flat on the notebook. @Арина leans in toward the notebook and both burst out laughing. Both look at Polina's notebook. 0:02 — @Полина keeps scribbling, her shoulders shaking with laughter. @Арина laughs with her head tipped toward @Полина, one hand on the desk next to the notebook. The lamp light glows over both of them. The shot ends mid-scribble, in motion. 0:03 — HARD CUT. SHOT 2, MEDIUM two-shot, waist-up across the desk, same front side and axis; the camera begins a slow lateral drift toward screen right. - @Арина grabs the near edge of Polina's notebook with both hands and starts pulling it across the wooden desk toward her own side, laughing. - @Полина's pen lifts off the sheet as the notebook slides away; the pen stays in her right hand. 0:04 — Polina's notebook slides across the desktop and stops in front of @Арина, under her hands, and the camera drift settles on it. @Полина laughs, her right hand with the pen raised a little above the desk. Both look at the notebook. 0:05 — @Арина points her right index finger at the scribbled sheet, laughing with her head tipped back. @Полина leans toward @Арина, laughing, the pen still in her right hand. Both look at the notebook on @Арина's side. 0:06 — Both women laugh hard, @Арина still pointing at the sheet and @Полина's shoulder bumping lightly against @Арина's. The shot ends mid-laugh, in motion. 0:07 — HARD CUT. SHOT 3, MEDIUM-WIDE, locked-off from the same front side as shot 1. - @Полина (left chair) and @Арина (right chair) laugh in the foreground over Polina's notebook, which lies in front of @Арина. The pen is in @Полина's right hand and the lamp is lit at the left end of the desk. - @Артём enters at the left frame edge, walking left to right along the walkway behind the chairs, the white tea cup in his right hand at chest height on the camera side. 0:08 — @Артём walks behind @Полина's chair at a steady easy pace. He turns his head down toward the two laughing women with a warm closed-mouth smile and keeps walking. The women keep laughing over the notebook. 0:09 — @Артём continues past behind @Арина's chair, still smiling down at them, and reaches the right frame edge mid-stride, the tea cup still in his right hand. The women are still laughing, Polina's notebook on @Арина's side, the pen in @Полина's right hand, the lamp lit. The clip ends while he is still walking and both women are still laughing. 5. DIALOGUE There are no spoken words in this clip. The only voices heard are the laughter of @Полина and @Арина through all three shots. Their mouths move only as open laughing mouths, never forming words. @Артём stays silent and smiles with his mouth closed. 6. VOICE / TIMBRE - @Полина: warm mid-pitched giggle that rises into a fuller, breathy laugh; clearly audible. - @Арина: bright, higher, ringing laugh with quick bursts; clearly audible. - @Артём: no voice; only his footsteps are heard. 7. AUDIO Only diegetic sound, recorded close and intimate in a small warm room: - 0:01-0:03: the fast scratch of the pen on paper. - 0:01-0:10: the two women's laughter, overlapping. - 0:03-0:04: the rustle and short slide of the notebook across the wooden desk, and the soft flutter of its sheets. - 0:05: a light tap as @Арина's finger touches the sheet. - Throughout: the faint electric hum of the desk lamp and soft room tone. - Throughout: a light creak as the women shift in their wooden chairs. - 0:07-0:10: the soft, even footsteps of @Артём on the wooden floor of the walkway. 8. STYLE / COLOUR - Look: DreamWorks-inspired stylized 3D animation with expressive faces, appealing proportions, soft rounded forms and rich textures. - Fabric weave is visible on the knit tops and the hoodie. - Wood grain is visible on the desk. - Paper texture is visible on the notebooks. - Palette: warm amber and honey gold in the lamp's pool, with deep warm brown and muted plum in the shadowed bookshelves and wallpaper. - The coral and mustard tops glow in the lamp light. - The grey hoodie reads cooler at the edge of the light. - Lighting: one key source, the desk lamp at screen left, with gentle bounce off the desktop and papers onto the faces. - Soft falloff into the background. - The first shot stays bright enough that the pen, the notebook and both faces read clearly. - All three shots have consistent exposure and warmth. - Camera: steady and level throughout, with clean framing on the same side of the desk. 9. NEGATIVES On-screen text or lettering, garbled letters on the notebook sheets, identity morph between shots, face drift from the character cards, hair colour or length drift, wardrobe drift or swapped tops between the two women, warped or extra fingers, extra limbs, duplicated pen or tea cup, notebook count changes, scale wobble of the desk or people, style drift toward photorealism, flicker, axis flip, mirrored layout between shots. CONTRACT CHECKSUM (these override anything above that contradicts them): Place: a cozy study room at night, lit only by one glowing desk lamp on a long wooden desk; bookshelves and patterned wallpaper sit in soft shadow, and a walkway runs behind the two desk chairs. - Acting in this shot: @Полина, @Арина, @Артём. - Not present in this shot, do not depict them: Рома, Аист, Бабуленька Ирина, Дедушка Дима, Бабушка Светлана, Дедушка Толя, Захар. - Frame 0: the desk lamp is lit at the screen-left end of the desk. Polina's notebook lies open in front of @Полина, with the pen in @Полина's right hand. @Артём is just outside the left frame edge with the white tea cup in his right hand. - Last frame: the desk lamp is still lit. Polina's notebook lies on @Арина's side of the desk under @Арина's hands, and the pen is still in @Полина's right hand. @Артём is at the right frame edge mid-stride, the tea cup in his right hand, smiling. Both women are laughing. Draw camera arrows and simple motion lines in pencil where movement matters, and keep every panel's staging consistent with the one before it — this sheet is a shooting plan, so a person standing screen-left in one panel stays screen-left in the next unless the action moves them. NO text or captions anywhere except the small panel numbers 1 to 9. No title block, no handwriting in the margins, no speech bubbles, no subtitles, no watermark, no logo.
