Lesson goal
Lock framing, eyelines, direction and duration in rough drawings instead of rewriting during generation.
Practice project: Paper Crane at the Rain Stop
Plan an original 30-second scene: one adult gives a paper crane to another adult waiting for a bus; both look toward the newly lit stop sign. Use one location, two people and one prop, without existing anime characters. Six shots last 4, 6, 5, 5, 6 and 4 seconds.
Practical steps
- S01 is a 4-second wide establishing shot; S02 a 6-second waiting medium shot; S03 a 5-second crane close-up.
- S04 shows the offer for 5 seconds; S05 the receiving reaction for 6; S06 the sign and ending for 4.
- Mark positions, eyelines and any camera movement in each panel. Keep left-right continuity during the handoff.
- Enter six rows in the site planner, export JSON and assemble a 30-second still-image animatic.
Deliverable and checks
Deliver the board and animatic. If viewers cannot tell who passes the crane to whom, revise the board rather than buying more generations.
