15s9:16Lonely Troll Discovers a Tiny Flower in the Snow
A multi-shot cinematic storyboard about a weary troll returning to his mountain cave, then noticing a small flower in a beam of light. The scene uses a rack focus from flower to troll, a close sniff, and a gentle pick-up of the flower with its soil. It asks for photorealistic 35mm film grain and strong composition.

Prompt (original, unmodified)
Storyboard — colored. The troll is walking alone in the mountains, through snow and wind. He gets back home to his cave, all exhausted. The troll spots a tiny flower in a beam of light on a ridge outside the cave. Add a shot where focus is on the flower, then focus shifts to the troll and he says "what is this?" in a deep troll voice. He goes in really close and sniffs. He smiles and picks up the little flower, including the dirt around it. Ensure shots are cinematic and have great composition. We don't need the troll in every shot. Include text and instructions.
