Create a 16:9 image. [PROJECT CARD] Create a compact designed masthead, not a table. TITLE: NOX / LUMOS POI FOREST META LINE: sudden void magic / fantasy ritual suspense / fast 15-second burst flow PRIORITY: first frame empty forest with no creatures, lavish blue-white lure-then-destroy poi magic, individual creature burst-cuts tracking light, green restored forest reset MICRO BRIEF: Eighteen-panel storyboard of a traveler mage snapping an empty daylight forest into void, using LUMOS poi light to lure hidden creatures one by one, then destroying them so the forest returns green and calm. [CONTINUITY HEADER] SEQUENCE ID: NOX-LUMOS-POI-FOREST-18P REFERENCE PRIORITY: Provided Light Mage character sheet controls C1 face, body, wardrobe, proportions, staff design, blue-white luminous identity, and poised movement. This storyboard controls staging, motion, geography, creature reveal logic, light-state continuity, rhythm, and panel purity. [SCENE PACKET] PREMISE: A traveler mage in an empty dry daylight forest clearing strikes the staff, says NOX, drains the world into absolute darkness, then uses LUMOS and staff-poi motion to lure hidden creatures one by one before destroying them in a white flash that restores the forest green. LOCATION: Dry forest clearing at daytime, cracked pale soil center, scattered brittle grass, ring of trunks and shrubs, distant branch canopy, open sky gap above C1, no visible creatures in P01, no building or path, same clearing returns green after the flash. START -> END: C1 stands alone in hard daylight with staff tip on dry earth and no creatures visible -> C1 lowers the staff in restored quiet green daylight while all creatures are gone. ACTION CHAIN: empty daylight master with staff strike and instant NOX void -> LUMOS face/circle reveal -> horned watcher eye-turn -> leaf spirit pupil catch -> long-armed branch watcher lean -> ground-crawler foot pause -> bark-face eyes open -> first poi arc -> horned watcher follows figure-eight -> leaf spirit follows butterfly loops -> long-armed watcher tracks infinity sweep -> macro pupil chase -> ground-crawler follows ground rings -> bark-face follows halo orbit -> antlered watcher follows cyclone -> single-face destruction flash chain -> final overhead sweep destroys them -> green daylight restored. PROP / EFFECT STATE: One staff only; NOX removes sunlight completely, not natural night; LUMOS begins as a small blue-white orb at the staff tip; poi trails become circular, spiral, infinity, butterfly, halo, ground-ring, and cyclone paths; watchers appear mostly one at a time in burst cuts, lured by glowing eyes, pupils sliding after trails, head turns, slow feet, and faces tilted toward the light; final flash destroys every watcher and the forest greens back to life. MUST READ: The staff light is bait and weapon: each fast cut isolates one creature hypnotized by one light movement, then the flash destroys them and restores the forest. [CHARACTER SANITIZATION] C1: young adult traveler mage from the provided sheet, athletic slim silhouette, blue-white feathered headdress and cloth accents, layered white and blue travel outfit, sandals, long staff with round luminous head, steady upright posture, precise poi-flow arm control. C2: hidden forest watchers shown mostly one at a time: one horned tall silhouette, one small leaflike forest spirit, one long-armed branch shape, one low ground-crawler with cautious feet, one bark-faced trunk watcher, one antlered shadow; glowing eyes, pupils tracking light direction, hypnotized faces tilted toward the staff orb. Remove contradictory traits, invisible psychology, excessive costume detail, and backstory that cannot appear in a panel. [IDENTITY CONSISTENCY] Provided character reference controls C1 face, body, wardrobe, proportions, staff, and silhouette; storyboard controls staging only. Keep C1's staff, blue-white mage identity, travel outfit, screen position, and poised movement consistent. Keep C2 as separate hidden watchers, never merging with C1, never becoming friendly pets, never redesigning the clearing into a fantasy temple. [STORYBOARD PURITY] Panel images are visual-only low-detail monochrome light-gray rough sketches. Put panel numbers, beat names, and lens tags in the header strip outside each panel image. No color, labels, arrows, captions, subtitles, logos, watermarks, timing marks, diagrams, UI, ghost poses, duplicate bodies, or technical overlays inside panels. [MASTER SHOT RULE] P01 shows the full playable geography during the strike: C1 centered on cracked dry ground, staff driving into earth, trunk ring and shrubs around the clearing, branch canopy above, open sky gap, and no visible creatures anywhere in frame. [EMOTIONAL ARC] Empty daylight control -> impossible blackout -> small light return -> individual hidden gazes -> one-by-one magnetic eye-following -> ritual acceleration -> single-creature lure cuts -> white destruction -> green ordinary calm, shown through C1's steady stance, isolated pupils chasing the trails, small head turns, and the final creature-free green clearing. [STYLE LOCKS] STYLE LOCK: clean monochrome rough-sketch storyboard panels on off-white paper, light-gray graphite lines, simplified anatomy, dry forest silhouettes, restrained deep blue and cool white accent only in sheet design outside panel artwork, no rendered panel color or finished concept-art shading. EFFECT LOCK: inside panels, NOX is a simple grey-black void mass and missing horizon; LUMOS and poi trails are simple monochrome bright shapes; final video style is stylized 3D animated fantasy with blue-white staff orb, long-exposure poi ribbons, butterfly loops, infinity tunnel, ground rings, halo cage, cyclone peak, velvet-black lightless void, eye glints, creature-destroying hard white flash, and green daylight restoration. ENVIRONMENT LOCK: dry empty clearing center, cracked earth, brittle grass, trunk ring, shrubs, branch canopy, open sky gap, and same camera-axis geography stay consistent from P01 daylight to void to final green daylight return. [SPATIAL CONTINUITY LOCK] P01, P02, P08, P10, P11, P13, P14, P15, P16, P17, and P18 share the same clearing layout. P01 has no visible creatures. C1 stays near center, trunk ring stays around the clearing, shrubs hold lower individual creature cutaways, branch canopy holds upper individual creature cutaways, and the open sky gap sits above C1. Allowed changes are camera distance, C1 pose, staff angle, light state, void intensity, one creature per burst cut, trail geometry, spectacle scale, creature erasure, and final green daylight restoration. P18 is the same clearing restored green, not a new location. [DIRECTOR STRIP] Bottom animatic track board aligned to panel columns.

Seedance 2.0 Prompt: Use @[storyboard ref] as the authoritative director-approved storyboard blueprint for the sequence. Treat every storyboard panel as a consecutive shot within a single cinematic sequence. Follow panel order exactly and do not invent alternative coverage. Do not render the storyboard sheet itself. Preserve camera placement, framing, lens intent, shot scale, character staging, screen direction, environmental geography, prop placement, action choreography, continuity and emotional escalation shown by the storyboard. The storyboard is the primary source of truth for visual storytelling. Recreate the filmed sequence implied by the panels rather than the physical storyboard artwork. Use @[character ref] as the authoritative C1 Light Mage character reference. ENVIRONMENT: Dry forest clearing, cracked soil, shrubs, branches, open sky. P01 has no creatures. NOX snaps daylight into void; LUMOS is bait, luring creatures in individual burst cuts. After the destroying flash, the same forest returns green. EMOTIONAL GUIDANCE: Valence: calm command to uncanny lure to clean release. Arousal: spike, individual reveals, grand poi escalation, destructive white reset through C1 stillness, pupils chasing trails, one-by-one head turns. VISUAL STYLE: Stylized 3D animated fantasy, sculpted forms, clean silhouettes, soft shadows, dry-to-green forest shift, black void, blue-white staff orb, long-exposure poi ribbons, butterfly loops, infinity sweep, ground rings, halo orbit, cyclone, single-creature silhouettes, hypnotized eye glints, hard destroying flash. AUDIO: No background music or score. Use only diegetic ambience, foley, impacts, texture, and silence. PANEL BEATS: P01: Wide master; C1 alone in an empty dry clearing strikes soil, daylight collapsing to black. P02: MCU void; LUMOS lights C1's face and a small bait circle. P03: Burst tight; one horned silhouette turns, eyes sliding to the orb. P04: Burst macro; one leaf spirit pupil catches the blue-white glint. P05: Low branch burst; one long-armed watcher leans from a branch. P06: Macro insert; one ground-crawler foot freezes near the light. P07: Tight burst; one bark-face opens its eyes in a trunk. P08: Orbit begins; staff draws the first blue-white arc. P09: Burst tight; the horned watcher tracks the figure-eight. P10: Burst macro; the leaf spirit follows a butterfly loop upward. P11: Tight cut; long-armed watcher pupils chase the infinity sweep. P12: Macro burst; one pupil slides after the trail direction. P13: Low burst; ground-crawler lowers its head to follow ground rings. P14: Tight burst; bark-face turns with the halo orbit. P15: Telephoto burst; one antlered shadow sways toward the cyclone. P16: Rapid single-face chain; different eyes lock to the spinning light, then flare white one after another. P17: Low final arc; overhead sweep becomes a destroying white flash, erasing every creature. P18: Green daylight returns; leaves revive, birds return, no creatures remain, C1 lowers the staff.
