Prompt (original, unmodified)
Create storyboard card for each acan - [0:00–0:04] VISUAL: Warm kitchen, evening. TOM (40s, quiet, unassuming) sets the table. His daughter LILY (8) draws at the counter. Normal, cozy life. LILY: "Dad, can we watch a movie after dinner?" TOM (smiling): "Only if you finish your veggies this time." SFX: plates clinking, soft kitchen ambience. [0:04–0:07] VISUAL: Power cuts out. The house goes dark. Tom's smile fades instantly — his whole posture changes, calm and alert. LILY (whispering, scared): "Dad?" TOM (low, controlled): "Stay behind me. Now." SFX: hard silence, distant glass breaking upstairs. [0:07–0:11] VISUAL: Front door kicked in — three armed INTRUDERS in tactical gear storm in with flashlights cutting through the dark. Tom pushes Lily behind the counter. INTRUDER 1 (shouting): "On the ground! NOW!" TOM (flat, dead calm): "Wrong house." SFX: door slamming open, boots on hardwood, gun cocking. [0:11–0:16] VISUAL: ULTRA-FAST FIGHT SEQUENCE. Tom disarms Intruder 1 in one brutal motion, slams him into a cabinet — glass shatters (heavy VFX: glass fragments frozen mid-shatter for a beat, then continues). Spins to block Intruder 2's strike. INTRUDER 2 (stunned): "He's not just some—" TOM (cutting him off, throwing a strike): "Dad. I'm just a dad." SFX: cabinet shatter, bone-crack impact, grunts, glass rain. [0:16–0:20] VISUAL: Intruder 3 fires — Tom shoves a propane canister off the stove into the line of fire. MASSIVE VFX EXPLOSION rips through the kitchen, throwing Tom and Intruder 3 through the wall into the next room in slow motion, debris and fire everywhere. LILY (screaming): "DAD!" SFX: deafening explosion boom, wood splintering, ringing ears effect, fire crackle. [0:20–0:24] VISUAL: Smoke clears. Tom rises from the rubble, bruised, bleeding, breathing hard — but standing. Intruder 3 down. He staggers back toward the kitchen. TOM (hoarse, urgent): "Lily!" SFX: settling debris, low fire crackle, ringing fading into real sound. [0:24–0:28] VISUAL: Lily runs out from behind the counter, unharmed, and crashes into him, sobbing with relief. He drops to his knees, holding her tight. LILY (crying, muffled): "You said you were just a dad." TOM (voice breaking, holding her): "I am. That's exactly why." SFX: crackling fire in background, sirens approaching faintly, her sobbing quieting. [0:28–0:30] VISUAL: Wide shot — the wrecked, smoking kitchen behind them, red and blue emergency lights beginning to flicker through the broken windows. Hold on the embrace. SFX: sirens growing closer, wind through the broken wall, soft final piano note.
