Create a 16:9 image. [PROJECT CARD] Create a compact designed masthead, not a table. TITLE: PAPER PLANE / САМОЛЁТИК META LINE: warm magic / quiet street wonder / heartbreak-to-joy arc PRIORITY: first-panel paper-tear hook, readable courtyard geography, motivated camera move tied to actions in scene, the magic transformation as emotional peak MICRO BRIEF: A boy's paper plane tears. Victor, already on a nearby bench, walks over, kneels, takes the torn halves, and folds them into a living golden paper bird that flies away. The boy chases it across the playground. [CONTINUITY HEADER] SEQUENCE ID: GENTLE_MONSTER_EP04 REFERENCE PRIORITY: use the provided Victor character sheet as the identity reference; identity reference controls face, body, wardrobe, proportions, hair, white right eye, amber left eye, black turtleneck, perfect posture, long elegant fingers; this storyboard controls staging, motion, geography, and continuity only. [SCENE PACKET] PREMISE: A child's small heartbreak meets a quiet stranger with impossible kindness in his hands. LOCATION: small courtyard playground on a warm summer afternoon, green wooden bench right side of frame, sandbox and swings soft-focus background, tall trees casting dappled golden light, a few distant kids in soft focus. START -> END: C1 hands holding a white paper plane that rips down the middle in extreme close-up -> C1 running across the playground chasing a glowing golden paper bird through golden sunlight, C2 watching from the bench with a 2mm smile. ACTION CHAIN: paper rips -> boy's tears -> Victor turns head on bench -> Victor rises and walks over -> Victor kneels to child eye level -> Victor takes the torn halves -> Victor cups hands and folds magic -> Victor reveals golden paper bird -> bird launches into sky -> boy runs after it laughing. PROP / EFFECT STATE: white paper plane intact at very start, two ragged white paper halves in boy's hands after tear, glowing golden particles emerging between Victor's fingers during the fold, faceted golden origami bird in Victor's open palm, golden particle trail behind the bird in flight. MUST READ: a quiet old man does small impossible magic with his hands for a sad child, and the magic is in WHAT HE MAKES WITH HIS HANDS — golden paper bird that lives. [CHARACTER SANITIZATION] C1: the Boy, age 6-7, soft Pixar child proportions (slightly oversized head, big eyes), wave of warm brown hair, light blue cotton t-shirt, beige shorts, small white sneakers, expressive face that arcs from heartbreak to wonder to joy, holds a paper plane that tears. C2: Victor, elderly man 75-78, thin wiry, black turtleneck, jet-black slicked-back hair, neutral baseline expression, calm deliberate body language, sits on bench then walks then kneels, long elegant fingers that do the magic. Remove contradictory traits, invisible psychology, excessive costume detail, and backstory that cannot appear in a panel. [IDENTITY CONSISTENCY] Victor identity reference controls face/body/wardrobe/proportions; keep C2 black turtleneck, jet-black slicked-back hair never moving, left eye amber, right eye pure white, perfect upright posture (even when kneeling spine stays straight), long elegant fingers. Do not redesign, age-shift, merge, beautify, or change C2 across panels. The Boy stays IDENTICAL across all panels: same outfit, same hair, same proportions, same Pixar child face geometry. Storyboard characters are blocking proxies only — final identity comes only from the supplied character reference for Victor. [STORYBOARD PURITY] Panel images are visual-only low-detail monochrome light-gray rough graphite sketches. Put panel numbers, beat names, and lens tags in the header strip outside each panel image. No color, labels, arrows, captions, subtitles, logos, watermarks, timing marks, diagrams, non-diegetic UI, ghost poses, duplicate bodies, or technical overlays inside panels. The golden glow and magical bird may be drawn as simple monochrome light shapes inside panels, no readable text or sparkles. [MASTER SHOT RULE] P01 shows an extreme close-up paper-tear hook on the boy's hands, with the surrounding courtyard barely suggested in soft graphite edges: the bench at frame right where Victor sits, ground at the bottom, dappled tree shadow at the top. This establishes the geography for all following panels. [EMOTIONAL ARC] quiet childhood heartbreak -> bystander noticing -> warm trust crossing the distance -> shared breath at the magic -> pure wonder at the reveal -> joyful release into movement -> lingering warmth as the magician watches. [STYLE LOCKS] STYLE LOCK: clean monochrome rough-sketch storyboard panels, light-gray graphite lines, simplified mature-Pixar proportions, sparse shadows, off-white paper, restrained warm amber accent only in masthead and director strip outside panel artwork. EFFECT LOCK: golden glow between Victor's fingers and golden paper bird drawn as simple monochrome light shapes inside panels; final-video style may use warm amber-gold magic light, soft particle trails, dappled afternoon sunlight, warm cream highlights, deep warm shadows on Victor's turtleneck. ENVIRONMENT LOCK: cozy summer courtyard playground stays readable with green wooden bench, sandbox, swings, trees casting dappled light, soft-focus background kids; no realistic texture drift, no flat cartoon drift, no horror grading. [SPATIAL CONTINUITY LOCK] All panels share the same playground layout. P01-P02 are tight close-ups inside the same space. P03-P09 use wider and tracking coverage from the same geography, not redesigned environments. Lock the bench position screen-right, the boy's position center playground, the door of trust opening between them as Victor approaches. Only allowed changes between panels: C1 facial expression (heartbreak -> wonder -> joy), C2 body position (sitting -> walking -> kneeling -> sitting again), paper state (intact -> torn halves -> glowing in cupped hands -> golden bird), camera distance and angle, magic glow intensity, bird position in air. Everything else stays IDENTICAL: same bench, same trees, same light direction, same ground, same background figures. [DIRECTOR STRIP] Bottom animatic track board aligned to panel columns. Seven parallel tracks: BEAT LINE, CAMERA PATH, ACTION PATH, RHYTHM TRACK, ESCALATION MAP, STATE TRACK, STYLE TRACK. Use shot chips, thin lines, rhythm blocks, small intensity bars, one-to-three-word labels. No seconds or timestamps.
