Opening scene: the girl walks to school and suddenly notices an injured orange kitten beside a cardboard box in a small alley. The camera slowly pushes in as the kitten weakly looks up and softly meows.
Close-up shots of the girl gently cleaning and bandaging the kitten's paw with a handkerchief.
The girl carefully hides the kitten inside her backpack, only its fluffy head peeking out as she continues walking toward school.
Inside the classroom, the teacher writes on the whiteboard while the girl nervously glances down at her moving backpack.
The zipper slowly opens by itself and the kitten pops its head out. Nearby students begin gathering around in surprise and excitement.
The kitten lets out one adorable "meow," instantly melting the entire classroom. Everyone smiles, laughs softly, eyes sparkling with joy.

Use the provided 8-panel storyboard sheet @[storyboard ref] as the direct sequential visual keyframe reference for the entire 15-second video. Follow the exact 8-beat progression and pacing structure from the storyboard. Preserve the original choreography flow, visual rhythm, readable action direction, comedic escalation, emotional arc, and exaggerated motion continuity while expanding the movement with smooth connected animation between storyboard poses. same giant dragon throughout all shots, same tiny bird coach throughout all shots, same mountain peak environment consistency every shot.
STYLE: DreamWorks-inspired stylized 3D animated feature film look, expressive facial acting, comedic exaggeration, heroic cinematic posing, high readability, dynamic visual rhythm, action-comedy timing, playful but epic energy, strong silhouettes, premium animated feature quality, cinematic pacing, smooth squash-and-stretch animation, warm sky lighting, crisp atmospheric depth, highly readable body language.
IMPORTANT: The storyboard panel borders, handwritten notes, timing notes, red framing guides, blue arrows, sketch marks, labels, text, panel numbers, and production-board graphics are only reference guides. Do not render any arrows, boxes, borders, notes, labels, or storyboard markings in the final video. The final result must be a clean finished animated film shot sequence only.
CHARACTER DESIGN RULES: The dragon is huge, bulky, intimidating in scale, but emotionally vulnerable and clearly afraid of heights. He has large wings, expressive eyes, sturdy claws, textured scales, and exaggerated DreamWorks-style facial expressions. Keep the same face, body proportions, scale texture, wings, horns/spikes, and emotional readability in every shot. The bird is very small, energetic, overconfident, and expressive, acting like a tiny flight coach. Keep the same bird design, feather colors, scale, attitude, and movement style in every shot.
CONSISTENCY RULES: Keep the same mountain peak, cliff edge, cloud sea below, bright sky, epic altitude, and dramatic open-air environment throughout the sequence. Maintain the size contrast between giant dragon and tiny bird in every shot. Preserve the same lighting direction, same character proportions, and same location continuity every shot. No random extra characters, no location changes, no costume changes, no visible storyboard graphics.
PHYSICS RULES: clothless creature body weight must feel believable, wing membranes flex naturally, claws grip stone edges with weight, pebbles and dust shift under heavy footsteps, dragon body trembles subtly when nervous, bird flutters quickly with light wing motion, air resistance affects the dragon’s wings during the glide, facial squash-and-stretch for comedy beats, no stop motion, no slow motion, no freeze frame.

[00:03.5 – 00:05.0] SHOT 3 — Fear Revealed

Dialogue: Dragon: “Nope. Absolutely not.”
[00:05.0 – 00:06.3] SHOT 4 — Tiny Coach, Big Energy

Dialogue: Dragon: “AAAAAAAH!”
[00:10.2 – 00:12.6] SHOT 7 — Surprise Glide

Camera: wide overhead glide shot with smooth crane/follow motion.
Dialogue: Dragon: “Wait… I’m flying?!”
[00:12.6 – 00:15.0] FINAL SHOT — Joyful Payoff
