@Image 1  is the character reference: the red-brown cartoon squirrel with cream chest, big brown eyes and fluffy tail, identical in every shot, glossy 3D cartoon look. @Image 2  is a six-panel storyboard for look, framing, lighting and pose. The bottom-right panel is the final wide reveal shot, with the same car, street, curb, trees and light. Do not show panel borders or gutters in the video. The camera stays low at squirrel eye level and mostly locked, so every beat reads clearly. The car is never shown before the final reveal. 0–2s: Extreme close-up on the squirrel’s face, matching the top-left panel of @Image 2 . It stops dead, head snapping toward something offscreen. Eyes go huge, a bright warm glare flares across both eyes, mouth drops open. Slight push-in. 2–3.5s: Low side angle, matching the top-middle panel. It leaps hard to the left, fur flaring, lands, and freezes with a wide-eyed glance. 3.5–5s: The same low side angle, mirrored. It leaps hard to the right, lands, and freezes again. 5–7s: Matching the top-right panel. It runs in a tight circle on the road, body leaning into the turn, tail streaming behind, a ring of dust kicked up. 7–9.5s: Matching the bottom-left panel. It sprints for the curb, skids to a stop at the edge, rear sliding sideways, spins through a full 180-degree turn, and sprints away the other way, dust and pebbles flying. 9.5–11s: Matching the bottom-middle panel. It drops flat on the road, both paws clamped over its face, tail curling up over its head. A bright sun glare washes across it. It trembles, bracing for impact. 11–11.5s: Immediate crash zoom out to the wide shot matching the bottom-right panel. The squirrel is a small lump in the foreground, still lying flat with its paws over its face and its tail over its head, facing the parked car. 11.5–13.2s: Hold on the wide shot. The dark car is parked nose-in at the curb, engine off, headlights off, windows empty, no driver. Silence. The squirrel stays frozen for a beat, then one eye peeks out between its fingers, sees the car isn’t moving, slowly pushes itself up onto its feet, and lowers its paw, standing as in the bottom-right panel and staring at the car. 13.2–15s: Hard cut to the same extreme close-up framing as the opening shot (top-left panel of @Image 2 ), but the expression is now relieved and sheepish. The panic is gone, the mouth is closed in a small nervous half-smile, and the shoulders drop with a long exhale. The eyes dart left, then right, then left again, checking whether anyone noticed, and settle back on the camera. Final held beat. Audio: tiny panicked squeaks and claws scrabbling on asphalt, whooshes on each leap, a dry skid scrape at the curb. A low rising rumble builds from the opening beat through the cover-up, like something huge approaching. It cuts to complete silence on the crash zoom, then quiet street ambience with distant birdsong. In the final close-up, a soft relieved exhale and one tiny nervous gulp. No music, no dialogue.
