Cinematic Storyboard Grid for Animated Short Film

Create a detailed cinematic 6-panel storyboard grid arranged 3 columns × 2 rows, covering the first 15 seconds of an animated short film. Overall canvas aspect ratio 16:9. Use the attached Jema character sheet as the exact character reference and the attached Jema's Apartment interior sheet as the exact environment and handbag reference. REFERENCE LOCK Jema: Reproduce the exact character from the attached character sheet. Maintain her face, warm tan skin, brown eyes, platinum-blonde messy bun with loose front strands, body proportions, black button-up blouse, high-waisted black corporate trousers, black belt with gold buckle, black heels and gold jewelry. Apartment: Treat the apartment reference as a fixed physical set, not inspiration. Maintain the exact floor plan, entryway, kitchen geometry, cabinetry, island, living room, sofa, TV wall, furniture, doors, lighting fixtures, décor and spatial relationships shown in the reference. The apartment must not be redesigned between panels. Only Jema, the camera and movable props change position. Handbag: Use the exact black Hermès Birkin 25 shown in the apartment reference: structured black leather, two short top handles and gold hardware. No shoulder strap or long strap. Maintain visual continuity from one panel to the next. ⸻ PANEL 1 - ARRIVAL | 0:00–0:02.5 Wide establishing shot from inside the apartment facing the exact entryway shown in the reference. The front door is open and Jema is walking through it, arriving home from work. She carries the black Hermès Birkin, naturally by its short top handles in one hand while her other hand is with car keys. Show enough of the established entryway to immediately identify the apartment: dark wood door, console table, round mirror and surrounding architecture in their reference positions. Jema looks slightly tired after work. Relaxed shoulders, calm face, natural walking posture. Camera: Wide, eye-level cinematic shot. ⸻ PANEL 2 - KEYS | 0:02.5–0:04.5 Medium side-angle shot at the same entry console. Jema casually drops her car keys onto the wooden console. The black Hermès Birkin is still in her other hand, held by its short handles. Capture the keys at the moment they touch the table. Her expression is relaxed and habitual. Camera: Medium shot with the keys, Jema and handbag clearly readable. The apartment layout and entryway remain exactly unchanged from Panel 1. ⸻ PANEL 3 - HANDBAG + JARVIS | 0:04.5–0:07 Wide shot showing Jema moving from the entry/living area toward the kitchen. As she passes behind the exact cream sofa from the apartment reference, she casually tosses the black Hermès Birkin onto the sofa. Capture the handbag either leaving her hand or just landing on the cushion, while continuing toward the kitchen. Her expression is calm and confident. Camera: Wide cinematic shot that preserves the established relationship between the living room, entry and kitchen. ⸻ PANEL 4 - JARVIS ANSWERS | 0:07–0:09.5 Medium shot at the exact kitchen island from the apartment reference. Jema has reached the counter. A clear drinking glass is sitting in front of her and she reaches for it. The glass is completely empty. No water inside it. She has not started pouring yet. A clear water bottle/carafe is nearby. Camera: Medium shot showing Jema, the empty glass and enough of the kitchen to maintain continuity. ⸻ PANEL 5 - 50 UGC VIDEOS | 0:09.5–0:12.5 Close-up at the same kitchen counter. Jema now pours water from the clear bottle/carafe into the same previously empty glass. Show the water stream visibly entering the glass. Jema is still calm. Camera: Cinematic close-up focused on the bottle, water stream, glass and Jema's hands, with the established kitchen softly visible behind. ⸻ PANEL 6 - SUBTLE REACTION | 0:12.5–0:15 Medium close-up of Jema at the kitchen island. She now holds the glass containing the water she just poured. She briefly glances upward. Her eyebrows lift subtly and a tiny impressed smile forms. Keep the reaction restrained and natural - not exaggerated shock. Camera: Cinematic medium close-up with Jema's face in sharp focus and the same kitchen softly blurred behind her. STYLE & CONTINUITY Polished 3D Pixar-inspired animated-film aesthetic, cinematic framing, expressive but natural facial animation, soft evening interior lighting and shallow depth of field. Treat all six panels as consecutive shots filmed inside one unchanged apartment set. Keys remain on the entry console after Panel 2. The Birkin remains on the sofa after Panel 3. The glass is empty in Panel 4, being filled in Panel 5, and contains water in Panel 6. No speech bubbles, captions, timestamps, panel titles or written text inside the storyboard. Visuals only. 16:9 ratio for both the grid and the frames
