Objective: Create a 3x3 cinematic storyboard for an animated short film about a capybara diet coach helping a woman track the calories in dumplings. Canvas: 4:3 landscape storyboard page, cream-colored paper background, nine equal-sized panels arranged in a 3x3 grid, thin black borders, with white explanatory text below each frame. A warm nighttime kitchen scene, featuring olive green cabinets, tiled backsplashes, windows with cityscapes, pink props, soft, functional lighting, and shallow depth of field, creating a sophisticated 3D animated cinematic feel. Main Characters: A friendly, anthropomorphic capybara coach wearing a black zip-up hoodie with bright pink stripes, a pink headband, and a pink whistle on a lanyard; a rounded snout and a calm, judgmental expression. A young woman with messy, bright red buns, wearing a cream-colored cable-knit sweater, sits at a round wooden dining table; her face is deliberately obscured by a flat, light brown square privacy mask in the panel facing the camera. Keep the capybara's expression lively and easily recognizable. Key props: A large plate of Russian dumplings (pelmeni), a pink mug with a light-colored heart, pink fabric napkins, forks and spoons, an item placed on an easel or wall with a prominent Russian calorie log, pink markers, small magnets and sticky notes, potted plants, and kitchen utensils. Visible storyboard text: Use 9 instruction strips, numbered 1 to 9, with timecodes and shot descriptions in a handwritten storyboard style. The item must accurately display the following Russian text:{argument name="whiteboard text" default="ПЕЛЬМЕНИ x 5\n= 425 ККАЛ\nДЕФИЦИТ OK ✓"} . The explanatory text should be clear and easy to read, similar to: 1. [0:00--0:02] Long shot - Establishing shot - Still - Warm working light + Soft fill light; 2. [0:02--0:04] Medium shot - Revealing - Push-in - Backlight + Rim light; 3. [0:04--0:06] Medium shot - Judging - Slight push-in - Key light + Rim light; 4. [0:06--0:08] Close-up - Action - Push-in - Emphasizing steam; 5. [0:08--0:10] Shot behind shoulder - Writing - Slight push-in - Soft key light + Project halo; 6. [0:10--0:12] Medium shot - Teaching - Right pan - Balanced key light + Rim light; 7. [0:12--0:14] Close-up - Reaction - Freeze frame - Soft key light + 8. [0:14-0:16] Medium shot with two people - Share - Static - Warm key light + Rim light; 9. [0:16-0:18] Long shot - End - Slight pullback - Warm utility light + Rim light. Panel layout, 9 panels in total: Panel 1 Long shot establishing the scene: A woman is alone at a table preparing to eat dumplings, a pink mug and napkin are visible, and the green kitchen is at night. Panel 2 Medium shot revealing the scene: The woman is on the left in the foreground, holding a spoon, and a capybara instructor appears behind her in a glowing doorway. Panel 3 Medium shot judging the scene: A capybara stands next to the seated woman, looking at her plate with a suspicious instructor's expression. Panel 4 Close-up: The capybara uses pink tongs or a marker-like tool to pick up a dumpling from a steaming plate with its paws, the woman's hand is nearby, and there is a pink mug on the left. Panel 5 Overhead shot: The capybara writes on an item with a pink marker, and the woman watches from the side. Panel 6 Medium Shot Tutorial: The capybara points to the text on the project with a pink marker. The woman is listening. If the capybara is facing the camera, its face is partially obscured by a light brown privacy mask. Panel 7 Close-up Reaction: The woman's hands are clasped together, her red hair fills the frame, and her face is covered by a light brown square mask. The background is a blurred, cozy kitchen. Panel 8 Medium Shot Two-Person Shot: The capybara and the woman sit together at a table sharing dumplings. Each person holds a utensil, the plate is centered, and a pink bowl and mug are visible. Panel 9 Long Shot End: The two characters are at a round table, the entire kitchen environment is visible, the project with heat notes is visible on the right, there is a chandelier above, and a window is behind them. Visual Style: High-end 3D animated home movie aesthetics, warm cinematic lighting, soft rim lighting, subtle bloom effects, realistic food steam, saturated olive green and pink accents. The character designs across all panels are consistent, and the storyboard creates the project composition. Constraints: Includes 9 panels and 9 description bars. Do not add extra characters. Keep all panels as timeline references for the video animation to ensure continuity. Keep project text and Russian letters clearly legible; avoid using any logos or watermarks.
