Comic / Storyboard
Objective: To create a concise, rough storyboard for an animated/comedy action sequence, similar to a project planning board for a spin-off series. The theme is a comical drunken boxing performance in front of a traditional Japanese temple, using stick figure movements paired with pencil background art. Canvas: Widescreen 16:9 storyboard pages on warm off-white paper with thin gray borders, monochrome pencil drawing style, supplemented with a few colored moving arrows. Top title bar displays:{argument name="project title" default="mMansion Spin-off | Shin Ooya nO "Drunken Fist Performance" Rough Storyboard"} Below, in small Japanese print, are the production notes: "15 seconds / 16:9 / Stickman acting design / Design for underage characters drinking and dancing." Layout: Precise 6-panel storyboard, arranged in a 3-column x 2-row grid. Each storyboard is a rounded rectangular card with a black shot label badge in the upper left corner, next to the Japanese shot title. The background is a temple courtyard drawn in gray pencil, and the image features a black stick figure performing exaggerated drunken boxing moves, accompanied by color annotations. Below each drawing area are compact Japanese production notes labeled as performance memos, camera, and background. Maintaining a rough animation planning look rather than a detailed comic book style. Scene Background: Each storyboard showcases the same traditional Japanese temple entrance: a large temple gate or main hall in the center of the background, flanked by stone steps, stone lanterns, a gravel garden, and delicate trees; architectural details are drawn with fine gray pencil lines. The background maintains consistency across storyboards, with only subtle compositional variations. Stick figures are drawn using black lines; green arrows indicate body movement or a shift in weight; red arrows/arcs indicate primary actions; and blue arrows indicate secondary actions. Number of Storyboards and Content: 6 panels in total: 1. Tag: “SHOT 01 0.0–2.0s”, Title: “Appearing with Chidori Feet”. The stick figure wobbles in from the left, one arm raised, body tilting and losing balance, with red footprints marking its feet. The drawing includes three small white slips of paper with notes: “Weight → Flowing to the left”, “Shoulder to shoulder”, “Feet land one step too far”. 2. Tag: “SHOT 02” 2.0–4.0s, titled "The Cup is Constructed." A stick figure raises one hand, seemingly holding an invisible cup, while taking a large stride; green arrows indicate torso twisting and weight shifting, and there are blue markings near the hand. It includes three white slips of paper: "Holding an Empty Cup," "Facial Expressions," and "Escape from the Right Side." 3. Tag: "SHOT 03" 4.0–6.5s, titled “Falling Down → Low-lying”. The stick figure falls into an extremely low sweeping leg pose, one leg extended, torso tilted, red arc arrow sweeping across the ground, accompanied by a green vertical balancing arrow. Includes three white slips of paper: “Falling Down,” “Flowing from the Chest to Half-Enclosed,” and “Exploring the Bed with Hands.” 4. Tag: “SHOT 04 6.5–9.0s,” titled “Falling Backwards.” The stick figure rotates unstablely in the center, with a large red circular arrow around the body and a small blue reverse arrow near the head. Includes three white slips of paper: “Upper Body Falling Backwards,” “Backwards Arrow Mark,” and “Sighting First.” 5. Tag: “SHOT 05” 9.0–12.0s, titled "Drunk Dodge → Palm Strike". The stick figure leans back in a drunken dodge, simultaneously extending a palm strike to the right; a long red arrow indicates the palm movement, and a green arrow shows an S-shaped torso movement. Includes three white strips of paper: "S-shaped body axis", "Dodge → Return", and "Palm Strike is a Stop". A narrow, vertical temple sign is added to the background on the right. 6. Tag: "SHOT 06" 12.0–15s”, titled “The Decision of the House Rental Recycling Fist”. The stick figure ends in a comical victory pose, one hand raised holding a small yellow paper slip with the character “札” written on it, the body upright but still showing signs of intoxication; the red arc near the feet indicates swaying. It contains three white paper slips: “止まれない决めポーズ”, “お札を見せる”, and “最后にドヤ顏”. Text and Notes: Titles, shot labels, shot subtitles, note notes, and production memos should all be in visible Japanese text. Memo text should appear realistic, but some content can be very small and barely legible. At the bottom of the page, add a line of Japanese director instructions: “演指导:酔拳らしい『脱力・遅れ・崩れ・戻り』を、攻撃ではなくコミカルな演舞として見せる。実饮喝表演は入れない。” Visual Style: Rough monochrome storyboards, concise production design sheets, light beige backgrounds, thin gray storyboard borders, black stick figures, hand-drawn pencil temple art, and minimalist color accents of red, green, blue, and yellow. The lines are slightly imperfect, the composition is clear, and it has a professional animation pre-show feel. Constraints: Use precise 6 storyboards, strictly adhere to the listed shot labels and time ranges, keep characters as simple stick figures without detailed facial features, avoid photorealism, avoid modern urban elements, avoid additional storyboards, avoid cartoon bubble style, and do not depict actual drinking or alcohol consumption.
