CAT WORLD CUP

A professional pre-production storyboard sheet for a 12-second photorealistic short film, single landscape page, layout top to bottom: == TITLE BAR == Black bar across full width. Left: massive bold white text "CAT WORLD CUP". Right: two outlined boxes "TOTAL VIDEO TIME: 12 SECONDS" and "8 SHOTS · CUTE · CINEMATIC · WHOLESOME". == ICON LEGEND == Four icon+label pairs in a row: soccer ball + "BALL ACTION"; paw + "CAT MOVE"; sparkle/portal + "TV PORTAL"; trophy + "GOAL". == MAIN GRID (8 panels, 2×4) == Each panel: thin white border, landscape 16:9. Number badge (1-8) top-left, teal "~1.5s" tag top-right, photorealistic still inside, bottom caption bar with icon + ALL-CAPS text. 1. [paw] "CAT WATCHES THE BIG GAME ON THE COUCH" — Real evening living room, plump orange tabby on blue couch focused on TV showing soccer. Popcorn bowl, warm lamp. 2. [paw] "CAT LEAPS OFF THE COUCH" — Same cat mid-air leaping toward TV, slight motion blur, popcorn flying. 3. [sparkle] "PAWS HIT THE SCREEN — PORTAL OPENS" — Close-up: cat's front paws on TV screen, screen rippling with golden magical energy. 4. [sparkle] "CAT EMERGES ONTO THE PITCH" — Cat on bright green soccer field grass under blue sky, four paws down, curious eyes. Blurred crowd distance. 5. [ball] "DRIBBLES PAST DEFENDERS" — Cat with real soccer ball at its paws. Two blue-jersey human silhouettes (back-view, NO faces) block; red-jersey silhouettes as teammates behind. 6. [ball] "WINDS UP FOR THE STRIKE" — Cat in shooting pose, back leg lifted, eyes locked on distant goal. Side profile, sun lens flare. 7. [trophy] "GOAL! NET RIPPLES, CROWD ERUPTS" — Ball hitting back of net, net stretching. Blurred silhouette crowd raising arms behind. Confetti, golden sparkles. NO faces. 8. [trophy] "HOME WITH THE TROPHY — JOB DONE" — Callback: cat back on SAME blue couch from panel 1, licking paw, small golden trophy beside it. == BOTTOM INFOGRAPHIC (4 sections horizontal) == [Clock] VIDEO FLOW: "8 shots × ~1.5s = 12s. Living room → soccer field → home with trophy." [Camera] CAMERA TIPS: "Wide on couch, close-up on paws touching TV, low-angle on dribble, slow-mo on shot, hero wide on goal, intimate close on trophy." [Sun] LIGHT & STYLE: "Photorealistic cinematic. Warm tungsten indoors, natural daylight on pitch, golden hour at goal. Real DSLR/iPhone aesthetic." [Person] CHARACTER NOTES: "One plump orange tabby cat, cream-white belly, big amber-green eyes, M-mark on forehead. Real cat behavior. All humans and crowd are faceless silhouettes." All panel illustrations are PHOTOREALISTIC — NOT cartoon, NOT 3D animation, NOT illustration. Orange tabby cat must look IDENTICAL across all 8 panels. No real soccer team logos, no FIFA branding, no real player faces, no sponsor logos. Plain jerseys only. The uploaded image is a pre-production storyboard sheet. The main grid contains 8 numbered panels (1 through 8) showing key moments in chronological order — use only the 8 panel illustrations as your visual reference for character, style, color palette, and the sequence of scenes. Ignore everything outside the 8 illustrated panels — title bar, icon legend, time stamps, captions, infographic section, all text labels. Generate a continuous 12-second photorealistic short film that follows the 8 panels in order: cat watching TV on couch → leaping off → paws touching screen with portal magic → emerging onto soccer field → dribbling past defenders → winding up to shoot → ball hits the net → relaxing back on couch with trophy. Preserve the orange tabby cat's appearance exactly as shown — same fur color, eye color, body shape, M-mark, photorealistic style throughout. NOT cartoon, NOT 3D animation, NOT illustration. == VISUAL CONTINUITY == Same living room and same single TV throughout panels 1–4 and 8 — only camera angle changes. Do not relocate or duplicate the TV between scenes. All human figures (teammates, opponents, crowd) appear only as soft-focus dark silhouettes from behind — never show faces or front torsos. == ZERO TEXT OVERLAYS == The video frame must be COMPLETELY CLEAN. Do NOT include time tags like "~1.5s" or "-1.5s", panel numbers, borders, captions, or any small text/numeric overlays in any corner of any frame. The video must be a single continuous shot sequence with smooth transitions — NOT a grid, NOT a montage, NOT a slideshow.
