Create a single vertical anime animation development board for an original high-energy action short film titled “The Riverside Flash Duel”.
The final output must be ONE combined image only, clearly divided into 2 sections:
TOP SECTION: Character design sheet
BOTTOM SECTION: 12-frame storyboard page
Create fully original anime characters. Do not imitate any existing anime, manga, game, or copyrighted character designs. Keep everything original, cinematic, dynamic, and easy to understand.
STYLE: Premium anime pre-production board, loose pencil sketches mixed with semi-rendered anime keyframes, dramatic lighting, strong contrast, speed lines, impact frames, red panel borders, blue motion arrows, handwritten notes, timing notes, and lens notes.
TOP SECTION — CHARACTER DESIGN SHEET
Use a light neutral paper-like background.
Fighter 1: Young anime martial fighter, around 18, short spiky dark hair, sharp brown eyes, lean athletic build, intense expression. Outfit: sleeveless dark combat top, loose martial pants, wrapped fists, light boots. Personality: aggressive, explosive, fast, confident. Show front view, side view, back view, 3/4 view, sprint stance, punch wind-up pose, airborne attack pose, and a few expressions.
Fighter 2: Calm rival, around 19, medium silver-black hair, narrow light eyes, athletic build, composed expression. Outfit: open short jacket, fitted shirt, belt sash, combat trousers, wrist wraps, boots. Personality: calm, precise, powerful, unreadable. Show front view, side view, back view, 3/4 view, relaxed stance, dodge pose, throwing pose, and a few expressions.
Add small handwritten design notes and compact anime color swatches.
BOTTOM SECTION — STORYBOARD PAGE
Use a dark black background for the entire storyboard section. Do not use beige, yellow, or paper-colored background here.
Create 12 cinematic anime storyboard panels in a clean grid. Use red panel borders, blue motion arrows, handwritten camera notes, timing notes, and action notes. Keep both fighters visually consistent.
12 STORYBOARD FRAMES:
1. Split-screen with thick black divider: Fighter 1 preparing to rush in the upper frame, Fighter 2 standing calmly near the riverside in the lower frame.
2. Split-screen close-up: Fighter 1’s foot presses into the ground and fist tightens, Fighter 2’s calm eyes stay focused.
3. Wide shot of both fighters facing each other beside the river.
4. Fighter 1 explodes forward at extreme speed.
5. Tracking shot of Fighter 1 charging with a straight punch.
6. Slow-motion dodge: Fighter 2 tilts aside and the punch barely misses his face.
7. Fighter 2 catches Fighter 1’s arm and redirects his momentum.
8. Fighter 2 lifts and throws Fighter 1 with force.
9. Wide shot of Fighter 1 flying far across the riverside toward a grassy hill.
10. Fighter 2 vanishes and speed-rushes toward the hill in a blur.
11. Final impact: Fighter 2 lands a devastating punch on the hill with shockwave, cracked ground, and flying debris.
12. Aftermath: dust clears, Fighter 2 stands dominant, Fighter 1 is down near the impact zone, river and hill visible in background.
ENVIRONMENT: Wide riverside battleground, shallow river, rocky shore, grassy banks, distant hill, dramatic sky, strong wind, water spray, dust, flying debris.
FINAL GOAL: Make the board clean, readable, cinematic, and production-ready. The top section should clearly show the character designs. The bottom section should clearly show the 12-frame action choreography on a black storyboard background.
