A traditional hand-drawn FILM STORYBOARD SHEET for scene 10: one page divided into a clean 3x3 grid of NINE separate rectangular panels, three rows of three, each panel a 9:16 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 7-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: LANGUAGE: All dialogue is spoken aloud in Russian, word for word as written, natural for a native Russian speaker; every spoken word is Russian. ⭐ BINDING INSTRUCTIONS — read these first and obey them in every shot SPEECH (strict): the ONLY spoken lines, aloud in Russian, word for word, in this order, each in its speaker's own voice; heard, never shown as text. 1. ЮМИ (in frame, lip-sync): "Пятка ножа на ролл." 2. ЮМИ (in frame, lip-sync): "И тяни к себе, в одно движение." END BINDING INSTRUCTIONS NON-NEGOTIABLE SCENE CONTRACT: - The setting and rendering register stay exactly as established: Pixar-like 3D. - Acting in this shot: КЕНДЖИ, ЮМИ. DIALOGUE (Russian, clearly audible, diegetic): 0:00.5 @ЮМИ (calm warm alto, steady and precise), looking at Kenji's hands on the roll: "Пятка ножа на ролл." 0:02 @ЮМИ, same alto, still looking at his hands: "И тяни к себе, в одно движение." @КЕНДЖИ says nothing. STYLE: Pixar-like 3D animation, textured skin and fabric, one-sided warm key light from the kitchen's overhead paper lamp, soft fill from a side window. Everyone on screen is an adult. CAST: @КЕНДЖИ: lanky man in a loose white cook jacket and a tall white toque slipping sideways, huge anxious brown eyes. He holds the wet yanagiba upright in his right hand above the roll. @ЮМИ: slim confident woman in a fitted deep-indigo chef jacket and a tight black bandana, sharp dark eyes. She stands on Kenji's right, hands free, beside the counter. PROPS: exactly one wet yanagiba, held by Kenji in his right hand in every shot. Exactly one sushi roll on a pale wooden cutting board on the steel counter. OPENING (0:00, as the reference plate): medium two-shot at counter height in a warm-lit sushi kitchen interior. Kenji holds the yanagiba upright above the roll in his right hand. Yumi stands on his right and looks at him. The roll is whole on the board. SHOT 1 (0-3s), medium two-shot, level static camera: Yumi speaks both lines; her mouth moves clearly. Kenji keeps the blade upright above the roll and listens, eyes on the roll. HARD CUT SHOT 2 (3-7s), medium shot on Kenji's hands and face, the board in frame, gentle push-in: 3-4s Kenji swallows visibly and lowers the yanagiba until its heel rests on the roll. 4-6s in one continuous stroke he draws the knife toward himself; the roll clicks and splits cleanly into exactly two halves that tip apart on the board. 6-7s the halves are still rocking, Kenji's eyes widen, and his toque slides further sideways as he lifts the blade. The clip ends in motion. SOUND: kitchen hum, the faint drip from the wet blade, Kenji's audible swallow, the sharp click of the roll splitting, the soft tap of the halves on wood. 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.
