A traditional hand-drawn FILM STORYBOARD SHEET for scene 2: one page divided into a clean 3x3 grid of NINE separate rectangular panels, three rows of three, each panel a 16:9 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 16-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: 0-4s medium: Orest wades in, holding the shell up like a lantern, and ripples spread. 4-8s medium: UNCLE HERON stands on one leg in the mud, snaps his head toward Orest and clacks his beak with a croaking 'kwok'; he is frowning behind his cracked spectacles. 8-12s medium: Orest scrambles onto the log and thrusts the shell toward Heron's beak with both paws. 12-16s medium two-shot: Heron bends his crooked neck and presses his ear to the shell, then jerks back with a scoffing head shake and starts to raise both wings. 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.
