Use the attached THE SUSHI CHEF storyboard image as the exact reference.
Create a 12-second 16:9 animated sushi-making sequence that follows the 8-shot storyboard exactly. Preserve the same Pixar-style seasoned Japanese sushi master, white headband and chef coat, minimalist Japanese restaurant, and clean elegant color aesthetic throughout.

Rules:
→ Follow the sequence exactly from 1 to 8
→ One shot per panel, approximately 1.5 seconds each
→ No skipped steps, no extra ingredients beyond the storyboard
→ Maintain character and restaurant continuity throughout
→ Emphasize the knife work, nigiri forming, and final plated beauty shot

Shot sequence:
→ Chef bows — soft lantern lights glow, zen restaurant atmosphere
→ Gleaming fresh fish on ice — chef's sharp expert eyes inspect carefully
→ Razor knife glides through fish — one clean fluid fillet motion
→ Vinegar drizzled on rice — chef folds with wooden paddle, steam rising
→ Perfect translucent fish slices — precise blade, fish fans out beautifully
→ Hands pressing and shaping nigiri rice — practiced, elegant, confident
→ Salmon slice draped over rice — gentle precise press, perfect placement
→ Sushi plated on wood counter — customer bows in deep appreciation
Camera:
→ Wide shot for restaurant opening and final plated shot
→ Extreme close-up for knife filleting, slicing, and nigiri forming
→ Overhead angle for rice seasoning and folding
→ Medium shot for customer appreciation moment
Style:
→ Soft warm Japanese lantern accent lighting throughout
→ Pure whites, deep ocean blues, vibrant salmon pinks, jade greens, warm wood tones
→ Pixar CGI vivid expressive animation with elegant precision
→ Shallow depth of field on knife and hand close-ups
→ Smooth deliberate cuts, calm and masterful energy

Goal: A beautiful 12-second sushi journey from fresh fish to perfectly plated nigiri — precise, elegant, and deeply satisfying to watch.
