Minimalist Character Storyboard

Use @[storyboard ref] as the visual storyboard anchor for shot order, camera grammar, staging, and prop continuity. Follow it exactly while rendering the final filmed scene, not the storyboard sheet, sketch style, or simplified anatomy; do not add events outside the storyboard or this prompt. Read each storyboard panel as a separate shot sample of the same scene. Preserve the same C#/object identities across panels and do not merge multiple panel poses into one shot. Use @[midjourney image] as the sole authority for C1's final appearance, face, body, wardrobe, proportions, materials, and likeness; storyboard silhouettes are staging references only. VISUAL STYLE: High-contrast minimalist anime aesthetic with clean vector lines and flat graphic shapes. Low-key dramatic lighting with single-source backlight casting long sharp shadows. Complementary color-emotion split of a saturated pastel pink sky background against a flat yellow-green grassy field foreground. Long-lens camera compression (85mm) with a narrow depth of field, keeping the action crisp while the foreground grass and distant sky remain clean flat planes. Fluid, hand-drawn sakuga-style frame-by-frame character animation with high motion quality. AUDIO: No background music or score. Only high-impact diegetic sound: the sharp swoosh of the scythe slicing the air, the heavy flutter of a flock of crows flapping their wings, and low atmospheric wind rustling the grass. ENVIRONMENT: A flat yellow-green grassy hill under a solid, clean pink sky. EMOTIONAL GUIDANCE: Highly focused, relentless energy shown in swift, aggressive, and precise choreography. RHYTHM + ESCALATION: Fast-paced non-stop action, building from a swift trigger spin to a chaotic vortex climax, concluding with a sudden static pose. BEATS: P01: Low-angle 85mm shot looking uphill. C1 stands on the crest of the hill, drawing the giant black scythe back, preparing to spin. P02: Canted low-angle 85mm shot. C1 spins 180 degrees, sweeping the scythe in a low horizontal arc toward the camera. A thick, solid black ink trail forms behind the moving blade. P03: Low-angle 85mm shot looking up. C1 leaps high into the air, body angled downward, scythe held high above. P04: Mid-air 85mm shot. C1 slashes downward diagonally in mid-air. The edges of the trailing black ink begin to feather into small black crow silhouettes. P05: Low-angle 85mm shot close to the grass. C1 lands on one knee, sweeping the scythe in a low circle. The ink trail rises like a wave of black crows flapping outward. P06: Frontal 85mm shot tracking backwards rapidly. C1 sprints directly toward the camera, thrusting the scythe shaft forward with both hands. P07: Extreme close-up 85mm shot. The scythe blade tip passes inches from the camera lens. The thick ink trail behind the blade is filled with morphing black crows. P08: Low-angle 85mm shot looking up. C1 vaults over the scythe shaft, spinning mid-air directly toward the camera. P09: Close canted 85mm tilt shot. C1 sweeps the scythe upward in a violent diagonal slash directly across the camera lens. The thick ink trail instantly morphs into a storm of black crows flapping and scattering past the frame. P10: High-angle bird's-eye 85mm shot. C1 spins in a tight circle on the hill, the scythe extended in a full horizontal sweep. A perfect spiral trail of black crows spirals outward, filling the frame. P11: Low-angle 85mm shot looking straight up. C1 slashes vertically upward. A column of black crows rises toward the sky. P12: Worm's-eye 85mm shot looking up at the sky. C1 catches the scythe behind the back, standing in a static landing pose on the grass. A massive flock of black crows scatters into the pink sky, leaving C1 static and silhouetted.
