Use the storyboard grid Image1 as the exact visual reference for character design, apartment layout, clothing, handbag, props, lighting, and composition. Animate the six storyboard frames as one continuous 15-second cinematic sequence.
Maintain the character's exact appearance throughout. Maintain the apartment as one fixed physical environment. Do not alter furniture, architecture, kitchen layout, dĂŠcor, handbag design, clothing, hairstyle, or character proportions.
Movement should feel like polished feature-film 3D character animation: natural body weight, realistic walking rhythm, subtle secondary movement in hair and clothing, expressive facial animation, believable hand interaction with objects, and smooth cinematic camera movement.
Jarvis is an AI voice only. He is never physically shown.
Character sheet is Image2
Apartment exterior and bag is Image3
⸝
SHOT 1 - 0:00â0:02.5 - 2.5 SECONDS
Begin from inside the apartment facing the entrance.
The front door opens and the character walks naturally into the apartment after returning from work.
She carries the black Hermès Birkin 25 by its two short top handles in one hand and her car keys in the other.
Her walk communicates end-of-workday fatigue: slightly lowered shoulders, relaxed pace, calm face. She looks tired but comfortable now that she is home.
As she crosses the doorway, she reaches back naturally and begins pulling the door closed behind her.
The handbag responds naturally to her walking motion with subtle weight and momentum. No long strap appears.
Camera: Wide eye-level establishing shot. Very subtle cinematic push-in as she enters. Keep the established entry architecture visible.
Audio: Door opening, soft heel footsteps, subtle handbag leather movement, quiet apartment ambience.
Dialogue: None.
⸝
SHOT 2 - 0:02.5â0:04.5 - 2 SECONDS
Cut to the entry console.
the character walks up to the console without fully stopping.
She extends the hand holding her car keys and casually releases them onto the wooden surface.
The keys fall naturally and land with a distinct metallic clink.
Her other hand continues holding the black Birkin by its short handles.
She barely looks at the keys. The action is automatic and habitual.
Immediately after releasing them, her attention shifts toward the living room and kitchen.
Camera: Medium side-angle shot. Keep Jema, the Birkin and the console visible. A subtle focus shift can follow the keys as they land before returning to the character.
Audio: Footsteps followed by a crisp key CLINK.
Dialogue: None.
⸝
SHOT 3 - 0:04.5â0:07 - 2.5 SECONDS
the character continues from the entry area into the living room, passing behind the cream sofa on her way toward the kitchen.
Without stopping, she swings the Birkin slightly forward and casually tosses it onto the cream sofa.
The handbag leaves her hand with believable weight, travels a short distance and lands on the cushion. The cushion compresses slightly beneath it. The bag settles naturally and remains there.
As she releases the handbag and continues toward the kitchen, the character speaks casually:
the character:
âJarvis, update me on my work today.â
Her delivery is relaxed and familiar. She does not call loudly and does not look for a speaker or device. She talks to Jarvis as naturally as she would speak to someone already in the room.
Her lips must synchronize accurately with the dialogue.
Camera: Wide tracking shot. Follow Jema smoothly from the living room toward the kitchen while keeping the established apartment geography readable.
Audio: Soft heel footsteps, subtle handbag landing on sofa.
the character voice: Young adult woman, confident, slightly tired after work, natural conversational delivery.
⸝
SHOT 4 - 0:07â0:09.5 - 2.5 SECONDS
the character reaches the kitchen and moves behind the island onto the kitchen side of the counter.
She reaches toward the completely empty clear drinking glass on the countertop.
The glass must remain completely empty throughout this shot. She has not poured water yet.
Her eyes briefly settle on the glass as she picks it up or positions it naturally for pouring. She listens to Jarvis without interrupting her routine.
Jarvis begins responding through the apartment:
JARVIS (O.S.):
âMiss Jema, today Claude connected to PayBox Agent by MoonPayâŚâ
Jarvis should sound like a sophisticated male AI assistant: calm, polished, articulate, composed and subtly warm. Not robotic and not overly emotional.
the character does not speak. Her expression remains neutral and attentive.
Camera: Medium shot from the living-room side of the island looking toward Jema behind the counter. Gentle cinematic push-in.
Audio: Jarvis voice integrated naturally into the room ambience. Very subtle glass contact with countertop.
⸝
SHOT 5 - 0:09.5â0:12.5 - 3 SECONDS
Cut to a cinematic close-up of the characterâs hands at the same kitchen counter.
There is a clear water bottle and empty glass on the counter, She picks up the clear water bottle and begins pouring water into the same previously empty glass.
Show a natural continuous stream entering the glass and the water level gradually rising.
Jarvis continues seamlessly:
JARVIS (O.S.):
ââŚand traded. Your portfolio is up by 17 percentâŚâ
Jema continues pouring normally.
Then Jarvis finishes:
JARVIS (O.S.):
â⌠that was under ten minutes.â
As he says âunder ten minutes,â Jemaâs pouring motion hesitates very slightly.
Do not make her freeze dramatically. It should be a tiny physical reaction showing that the number caught her attention.
Camera: Tight close-up of bottle, hands, water stream and glass. Very subtle camera drift. Shallow depth of field.
Audio: Clear natural water-pouring sound underneath Jarvisâs voice.
⸝
SHOT 6 - 0:12.5â0:15 - 2.5 SECONDS
Cut to the characterâs face and upper body behind the kitchen island.
She stops pouring and holds the now-filled glass naturally.
For a brief beat, she processes what Jarvis just said.
Her eyes glance slightly upward.
Her eyebrows rise subtly.
Then the smallest impressed smile forms at the corner of her mouth.
Keep the reaction understated. No huge eyes, dramatic gasp, head jerk, or exaggerated cartoon reaction. She is impressed, but AI automation like this is already part of her life.
End on this subtle expression, setting up Grid 2.
Camera: Medium close-up with a slow, almost imperceptible push toward her face. Shallow depth of field with the established kitchen softly blurred behind her.
Audio: Water pouring stops. Brief room ambience after Jarvis finishes. No dialogue from Jema.
⸝
ANIMATION CONTINUITY
The six shots are one continuous sequence. the character enters with keys + Birkin â keys stay on console â Birkin lands and stays on sofa â the character reaches kitchen â glass is empty before pouring â water is poured â the character ends holding the glass.
Keep her movement restrained and natural. No unnecessary gestures, no duplicates, random head turns, excessive blinking, floating objects, hand deformation, prop morphing, wardrobe changes, hairstyle changes, or apartment changes.
Total duration: exactly 15 seconds. 16:9 landscape.

SHOT 1 - 0:00â0:02.5 - 2.5 SECONDS
Begin with the character behind the kitchen counter, matching Panel 1.

⸝
SHOT 3 - 0:04.5â0:07 - 2.5 SECONDS
The character places the glass down on the kitchen counter, then turns and begins walking out from behind the kitchen island from the refrigerator side, following the exact apartment layout.
She walks naturally toward the living room, relaxed and ready to leave the room.
The black Birkin remains on the cream sofa exactly where it was left.
As she is walking away, Jarvis suddenly speaks:
JARVIS (VOICE ONLY):
âOne more thing.â
The character continues for a beat, then her attention shifts slightly at hearing him.
Camera: Wide shot preserving the kitchen, refrigerator, island, sofa and established apartment geography. Smoothly follow her movement out of the kitchen.
Audio: Soft heels, subtle clothing movement, Jarvisâs voice, apartment ambience.

SHOT 4 - 0:07â0:09 - 2 SECONDS
Cut to the character now directly behind the cream sofa, matching Panel 4.
She stops walking.
Her body remains oriented in the direction she was heading, but she turns her head slightly back toward the apartment with mild curiosity.
She responds:
THE CHARACTER:
âYeah?â

The Birkin remains on the sofa in front of her.
Camera: Medium-wide shot with the sofa in the foreground and the character directly behind it.
Audio: Character dialogue, then a brief natural pause.
⸝
SHOT 5 - 0:09â0:12.5 - 3.5 SECONDS
Cut to a medium shot of the character as Jarvis responds.
JARVIS (VOICE ONLY):
âI booked a blind date for you. Youâve been single for too long.â
As Jarvis speaks, her expression changes progressively.
At first she listens normally.
Then her eyebrows rise.
Her eyes widen.
Her lips slowly part as she realizes what Jarvis has done.
By âtoo long,â she is staring in stunned disbelief.
Keep the reaction comedic and expressive, but allow it to build naturally rather than snapping instantly into shock.
Camera: Medium shot with a subtle slow push toward her face as her expression changes.
Audio: Jarvisâs calm male AI voice. Quiet room ambience underneath.
⸝
SHOT 6 - 0:12.5â0:15 - 2.5 SECONDS
Cut tighter to the characterâs face.
Her stunned disbelief immediately begins turning into offended outrage.
Her eyes remain wide, eyebrows raised and tense, mouth open as she prepares to snap back at Jarvis.
She starts:
THE CHARACTER:
âYou mother - â
Hard cut to black immediately after âmother - ,â before she can finish the sentence.
Do not complete the insult. The abrupt blackout is the punchline.
Hold the black screen for the remaining beat.
Camera: Tight cinematic close-up with a subtle push-in before the hard cut.
Audio: Accurate lip sync on âYou mother - â. Cut the dialogue abruptly with the blackout. Brief silence after the cut.
