Professional cinematic pre-production storyboard sheet, 16:9 landscape sheet, exactly 15 numbered VERTICAL 9:16 panels in an evenly spaced grid of 5 columns × 3 rows on a neutral light-grey presentation background. Each panel a fully rendered Pixar-style 3D animation frame: soft rounded appealing shapes, subsurface scattering, warm cinematic global illumination, big readable emotions, not photorealistic. A thin timeline strip runs along the bottom edge. The only text on the sheet: a small panel number top-left and a timecode top-right of each frame, English/Latin characters only, sharp and legible. Two characters, identical to the attached reference sheets in every panel, no drift. BARSIK: overweight ginger tabby cat, darker back stripes, M-shaped forehead marking, cream-white chest and belly, four white paw socks, white tail tip, large amber-green eyes, pink nose with a left-nostril freckle, thin dark-red collar with a round brass tag. THE OWNER: tired 32-year-old man, short messy dark-brown hair with a cowlick, three-day stubble, small mole under the right eye, faded navy-blue T-shirt, grey sweatpants, barefoot. 1, 0:00 — Wide low-angle night bedroom, cool blue moonlight from screen-left, foreground nightstand with a glass of water and a clock reading 04:57 in amber digits, the man asleep mid-ground under a rumpled duvet, two amber-green cat eyes opening in the shadow at the foot of the bed. Mood: ominous calm. 2, 0:01 — Low medium, the cat sitting bolt upright on the duvet, chest out, ears forward, rim-lit, dead serious, mouth closed. Mood: a historic moment has arrived. 3, 0:02 — Very low shot looking along the man's body from mattress level, the heavy cat walking directly on top of the sleeping man's chest toward camera, paws pressing into his chest and the duvet, belly swaying, the man lying flat beneath him. Mood: methodical. 4, 0:03 — TRUE FIRST-PERSON POV — the camera IS the waking man's own eyes, so his face and body are completely out of frame and never shown; we see only what he sees: the cat's face fills almost the whole frame from very close, nose nearly touching the lens, whiskers crossing the frame edges, mouth open in a loud meow straight into camera, blurred dark ceiling behind. Not a third-person shot of the man. Mood: rude awakening. 5, 0:04 — Close-up of the man's face on the pillow, a white paw patting his cheek, brow furrowed, duvet dragged over his shoulder. Mood: refusal. 6, 0:05 — Static medium, the cat deadpan on the left, head turned to the full glass on the nightstand right, one white paw touching the rim, the glass tipping past balance, water starting to spill. Mood: cold deliberation. 7, 0:06 — Tight close-up, the cat's face flipped to maximum innocence, perfectly round eyes, neutral ears, slight head tilt. Mood: I did nothing. 8, 0:07 — Slightly high wide kitchen in low warm morning sun from screen-right, the barely-awake man tipping kibble into a floor bowl without looking, long soft floor shadows. Mood: sleepy routine. 9, 0:08 — TRUE FIRST-PERSON POV — the camera IS the cat's own eyes, positioned right at floor level about fifteen centimetres up, wide lens; the cat's own body is NOT visible anywhere in frame except soft blurred whisker tips at the extreme edges. Directly below and close, a ceramic food bowl full of kibble in sharp macro detail fills the lower frame; looking up from this low eye-level, the man towers hugely above, backlit by the window, foreshortened. This is what the cat sees, NOT a side view of the cat next to a bowl. Mood: inspection. 10, 0:09 — Low close-up of the cat beside the bowl looking up, mouth open mid-word, deep personal offence, eyes narrowed, ears back, chin lifted. Mood: outrage. 11, 0:10 — Low-angle medium of the man holding up an open bag of cat food as evidence, eyebrows raised, mouth open mid-sentence, sleepy indignation; the food bag is plain with no legible text or logos on it. Mood: defence. 12, 0:11 — Medium from floor level, the cat pivoting away from the untouched full bowl, tail straight up, walking off with dignity. Mood: contempt. 13, 0:12 — Macro at desk level, a pen at the very edge of a wooden desk, a white paw mid-push, the cat's utterly serious face watching from just above the desk edge. Mood: deadpan mischief. 14, 0:13 — From behind and above an open laptop showing a video call, the cat flopped heavily across the keyboard, the man leaning sideways to see around him. Mood: obstruction. 15, 0:14 — Straight top-down on a grey knitted rug, the cat spinning after his own tail, paws scrabbling, correct anatomy, four legs and one tail. Mood: pure chaos. Bottom strip divided into 15 segments of unequal width proportional to shot length, small Latin marks at 0s, 5s, 10s, 15s. Deliberate angle variety, no two consecutive panels sharing a composition, clear foreground / mid-ground / background depth in every panel, strong readable silhouettes, a clear emotional build from ominous stillness to escalating comic chaos. Masterpiece pre-production quality, balanced spacing, characters perfectly consistent with the attached references.
