A vintage animation pre-production storyboard sheet on aged cream paper, hand-drawn pencil-and-ink illustration style with light watercolour wash. Layout: TOP HEADER (left): bold hand-lettered title "The Pour-Over Romance". Below header in smaller print: "OPENING SEQUENCE • DRAFT" with a small flower or star doodle. TOP HEADER (right): a small "CHARACTER DESIGN & MODEL SHEETS" column heading. CENTER GRID: 7 numbered storyboard panels in a 3-column grid, each panel framed with a thin pencil border, a small numbered tab (01, 02, 03…) in the top-left corner of each panel, a tiny "X.Xs" timing tab in the bottom-right corner. Each panel contains a quick rough sketch of the action described below, with a one-line caption underneath in hand-written capitals. Panels: Panel 01 (10s): An extreme close-up of dark, coarsely ground coffee in a white ceramic dripper. Hot water has just touched the grounds, causing them to swell and release tiny, shimmering carbon... Panel 02 (10s): A medium close-up of Leo from a low angle, looking down at his work. His face is partially shadowed, but his eyes are illuminated by the steam rising from the coffee. The backgr... Panel 03 (10s): A bird's-eye view looking straight down into a white ceramic dripper. A thin, elegant stream of water from a gooseneck kettle creates a perfect concentric circle in the dark cof... Panel 04 (10s): A side profile of a clear glass carafe sitting on a wooden counter. Dark, translucent coffee drips steadily from the bottom of the dripper into the pool below. The glass is slig... Panel 05 (10s): A low-angle shot looking up through the glass carafe as it is being lifted. The coffee inside is a vibrant, translucent orange-brown, catching the sunlight and casting dancing s... Panel 06 (5s): Panel 07 (10s): A medium shot of Leo holding a steaming ceramic cup toward the camera. He is looking directly into the lens with a soft, inviting expression. The cafe behind him is filled with ... RIGHT SIDEBAR (about 22% of page width): character model sheets. For each character below, draw 3-4 quick rough sketches showing front view, profile, and a dynamic action pose. Add the character name in small hand-lettering above the sketches. Characters: Leo — A man in his early 30s with soulful brown eyes, short-trimmed dark hair, and light stubble. He has a calm, intense expression of deep con... Джейсон — Накаченный потом белый человек кудрявый волосы красивый внешность BOTTOM STRIP: a horizontal timeline ruler with seconds markings (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5… up to total duration), tick marks aligned to the panel durations above. Below the ruler, a small notes row: STORY/FLOW NOTES • ANIMATION NOTES • TIMING & RHYTHM • CAMERA & STAGING — with 2-3 short hand-written bullet points under each (you can invent plausible production notes from the story). OVERALL STYLE: warm aged-paper background with slight stains and edge wear, pencil shading, occasional small doodles in the margins (flowers, arrows, asterisks), feel of a real animator's working sheet. Color palette: cream paper, soft pencil greys, muted blues and browns, occasional accent colour. NO photorealism, NO 3D render look. This is a draft sketch sheet, not a finished frame.
