“Use the attached THE CROISSANT BAKER storyboard image as the exact reference. Create a 12-second 16:9 animated croissant-making sequence that follows the 8-shot storyboard exactly. Preserve the same Pixar-style young French male baker, white jacket, flour-dusted hands, warm authentic French boulangerie, marble counter, and bright golden 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 steps beyond the storyboard •Maintain character and bakery continuity throughout •Emphasize the butter slam, lamination layers, crescent shaping, egg wash glisten, oven puff, and final flaky tear reveal Shot sequence: 1.Baker arrives before dawn, ties apron, switches on warm kitchen lights — wide establishing shot, full boulangerie world visible 2.Massive cold butter block slammed onto marble counter — dramatic impact, flour cloud explosion, close-up hands only 3.Dough folded precisely over butter, rolling pin pressing down hard — side angle, beautiful layers building 4.Dough rolled into large thin sheet — baker leaning into rolling pin with full body weight, flour dusting everywhere 5.Triangles cut and rolled into tight crescents — hands moving fast and confident, close-up on shaping 6.Golden egg wash brushed over each croissant — pastry brush close-up, each one glistening, overhead angle 7.Croissants in blazing oven — through oven glass puffing dramatically, turning deep golden, layers separating, warm orange glow 8.Baker tears open a perfect golden croissant — hundreds of flaky buttery layers revealed, steam escaping, butter glistening, pure satisfaction Camera: •Wide establishing shot for the opener •Close-up hands only for butter slam and crescent shaping •Side angle for the lamination •Wide shot for the dough roll •Overhead for the egg wash •Oven glass shot for panel 7 •Extreme close-up hero shot for the final tear Style: •Warm golden French bakery morning light throughout •Buttery cream tones, flour dust particles in the air, marble counter •Pixar CGI vivid expressive animation •Shallow depth of field on close-up shots •Smooth satisfying cuts, warm and joyful energy throughout Goal: A mouth-watering 12-second croissant journey from butter block to flaky tear — warm, golden, layered, and impossible to scroll past.“
