    A 2x5 storyboard grid of 10 frames for a 15-second photorealistic CGI animated short film, BBC
    Planet Earth documentary aesthetic, macro cinematography, rich greens and golden hour light,
    natural soft shadows, extreme scale shifts from micro to macro.


    Theme: a single seed's journey blown by wind, surviving a storm, slowly growing into a great
    tree full of life.


    Frames:

    (1) extreme wide autumn forest, single seed released from a tall tree, golden bokeh background;

    (2) macro tracking shot - seed floating through air, passing insects and leaves, delicate and
    small;

    (3) slow-motion impact - seed lands on soft soil, dirt particles scatter, raindrop falls beside
    it;

    (4) surreal underground macro - roots beginning to grow in darkness, microscopic and beautiful;

    (5) wide dramatic shot - violent storm raging, everything uprooted, but the seed's spot stays
    still;

    (6) macro close-up - first green sprout breaking through soil, morning dew on tip, sunlight
    catching it;

    (7) accelerated growth sequence - sapling rising, seasons shifting, light and shadow changing,
    alive;

    (8) wide shot - juvenile tree now standing, birds arriving, leaves rustling gently in wind;

    (9) medium warm shot - children playing in the tree's shade, a bird building a nest in the
    branches;

    (10) mirror wide shot - framed from the angle of the original tall tree, the new great tree now
    stands in its place circle of life.

  2x5 cinematic storyboard · seed→tree journey · 4 hardest tests 全 PASSED + 2 bonus.


  **4 hardest test results:**


  (1) **Scale shift 同图内** ✅ STRONG · aerial wide → macro air → macro soil →
      underground → wide storm → macro sprout → time-lapse → wide tree → medium → mirror wide
      · 跨 10 cells 不同 scale 全 coherent · 模型正确切换 macro / wide / aerial 视角

  (2) **Subject continuity across 10 morphs** ✅ STRONG · seed (cells 1-3) → root (4) →
      sprout (6) → sapling (7) → tree (8-10) · 同一植物不同生命阶段 · 视觉演化合理
      · pure-T2I 无 ref 也能 lock 主体 evolution

  (3) **Mirror composition** ✅ Frame 10 unmistakably mirrors Frame 1's golden-hour aerial wide
      · 同暖光方向 · 同森林背景 · circle-of-life 闭环成立
      · 模型理解 "mirror wide shot framed from angle of original tall tree" 指令

  (4) **Time-lapse → 1 frame** ✅✅ **GENIUS** · Frame 7 拆为 vertical strips 显示季节渐变
      · 春绿 → 夏密 → 秋色过渡 一 cell 内
      · 静止图视觉化 "时间在动" 的创意解 · 跟 sushi monster 的 "圆·元·源" 拼字隐喻同档创意

  **Bonus 2 finding:**


  (a) **Auto-added 帧号 1-10** · model 自加 cell 角标编号 · 0 prompt 提示
      · 加 production 价值 (作 storyboard reference for video script)

  (b) **Storm cell (5) cold blue-grey** vs 其他 warm golden cells
      · 模型 honor 了 prompt 内 phased lighting 隐含 ("violent storm" 暗示 cold light)
      · 不需显式 "use cold light for cell 5" · 模型自推

  **Framework lesson sediment:**


  · 2x5 = 6th axis-of-variation in storyboard-grid pack · cinematic shot-list (vs narrative beat /
  transformation / style / rhythm / time)

  · 长 prompt + 显式 per-cell spec + 风格 anchor (BBC Planet Earth) 合力出片 production-quality

  · 38s wall · 跟 punk teen / sushi monster 同速度 (2:1 aspect 不收 surcharge)


  **Stage 2 决策:** 不立即跑 (¥9-24 + 3-shot Seedance + ffmpeg concat + Topaz 4K 工程)

  · 等明确商业交付需求再启 · external_intel/kling_3_4k_15s_2026_05.md 已记录复刻路径
