Here's my plan for a **detective noir opening sequence**. I've structured this as a classic slow-burn introduction: atmosphere first, then character, then mystery.

## **SHOT LIST — "PARIS NOIR" Opening**
**01. WS (Wide Shot)** — Static crane down from overcast sky
Eiffel Tower at blue hour, rain-slicked streets below. A neon hotel sign flickers.
Duration: 4 sec
*Mood: Moody cyan/orange lighting, film grain, cigarette smoke atmosphere*
**02. EWS (Extreme Wide Shot)** — Tracking shot, low angle
The detective's silhouette walks along a wet Boulevard Saint-Germain, her catsuit catching streetlamp reflections. We don't see her face yet—just the predatory stride.
Duration: 3 sec
*Mood: High contrast noir, puddles reflecting neon, rain falling*
**03. MS (Medium Shot)** — Slow push-in
She stops at a brasserie window, checking her reflection. We see her face for the first time—sharp features, confident gaze. Her catsuit is a deep burgundy, tactical but form-fitting.
Duration: 3 sec
*Mood: Warm interior light vs. cold exterior, raindrops on glass*
**04. CU (Close-Up)** — Handheld subtle drift
Her gloved hand slides a vintage Zippo lighter open, flame illuminating a cigarette and her crimson lipstick. Click shut.
Duration: 2 sec
*Mood: Warm tungsten glow, shallow depth of field*
**05. MLS (Medium Long Shot)** — Dolly back as she walks toward camera
She moves through a narrow Montmartre alley, catsuit gleaming under a single harsh streetlamp. A cat scatters. She doesn't flinch.
Duration: 4 sec
*Mood: Deep shadows, fog, 180-degree rule establishes her left-to-right screen direction*
**06. MCU (Medium Close-Up)** — Static
She stops. Looks up sharply—senses something. Her eyes narrow. The case has found her.
Duration: 3 sec
*Mood: Hard side-lighting sculpting her cheekbones, slight lens flare*
**07. POV (Point of View)** — Quick pan
What she sees: a body outline in chalk, police tape fluttering, a single red rose on the cobblesto…

Approved. Generating the storyboard frames now — one per shot, maintaining continuity on character design, wardrobe, and noir lighting throughout.

The storyboard is complete. Character design stayed consistent across all frames — burgundy catsuit with tactical seams, flowing trench coat, sharp bob haircut, 1990s Paris backdrop with cyan/orange noir lighting.
**Ready for animation?** I can render video for any shots you'd like to see in motion. Given the cost, I recommend starting with 2-3 key shots — perhaps the silhouette walk (02), the alley approach (05), and the final eye close-up (08). Let me know which shots you'd like me to animate, or if you'd prefer to adjust any frames first.
