A traditional hand-drawn FILM STORYBOARD SHEET for scene 1: one page divided into a clean 3x3 grid of NINE separate rectangular panels, three rows of three, each panel a 16:9 rectangle with a thin ruled black border and a small hand-written panel number in its top-left corner from 1 to 9. Thin white gutters between panels. Off-white paper background with faint tooth. MEDIUM, STRICT: rough graphite pencil drawing only. Loose confident director's sketch, visible pencil strokes, hatching and smudged shading for shadow, some construction lines left in. Monochrome grey graphite, NO colour anywhere, NO paint, NO digital rendering, NO photorealism. It must look drawn by hand on paper in a few minutes per panel. No named characters — stage the action with anonymous figures. Divide the following 12-second scene into NINE consecutive story beats yourself, in strict chronological order, and draw one panel per beat. Vary the shot size between panels — do not draw nine versions of the same framing. THE SCENE: Varik heaves aside a shattered shield and rises fully to his feet amidst howling snowdrifts, gripping his wolf-pommeled sword and locking his eyes southward as he begins a fierce, determined march forward across the ice. The camera begins in a wide high angle overlooking the battlefield and slowly pushes in and tilts down, ending in a low-angle close-up framing Varik's fierce, steely glare as blizzard snow whips past his face. SPOKEN LINE — AUTHORITATIVE, overrides any line quoted earlier in this prompt: The only words spoken, in English, verbatim: "His brother stole the crown and left him for dead. But breaking a true king is harder than stealing a throne." Any other quoted line above is outdated — do not speak it, in any language. Draw camera arrows and simple motion lines in pencil where movement matters, and keep every panel's staging consistent with the one before it — this sheet is a shooting plan, so a person standing screen-left in one panel stays screen-left in the next unless the action moves them. NO text or captions anywhere except the small panel numbers 1 to 9. No title block, no handwriting in the margins, no speech bubbles, no subtitles, no watermark, no logo.
