15-second 16:9 cinematic. @image1 is the traveler’s face. @image2 is the storyboard — photocopy outfit, canoe, forest, and the WATER DRAGON from the board. Do not describe appearance, hair, or clothes. Use they / their / them only. One traveler, one canoe, one lantern. Current carries the canoe; no paddle. One inhabitant: a colossal WATER DRAGON, not a stag or elk. Concealed until the end, then a gentle bow toward the lantern. SHOT 01 | 00.00–01.75 | water-level 24mm. Already moving. Glide just above the lake. Canoe toward screen right. Lantern reflection. Enormous overhead branch. SHOT 02 | 01.75–03.00 | 100mm moss at the waterline. A tremor, one droplet. Lantern passes as a blur. SHOT 03 | 03.00–05.00 | 20mm over the bow, through hanging roots. A hand sweeps one strand aside. SHOT 04 | 05.00–07.00 | 50mm, track backward. They kneel and lower the lantern ~20cm above the water. Offering, not panic. SHOT 05 | 07.00–09.00 | 35mm overhead. A broad swell lifts the bow. They keep the lantern steady. SHOT 06 | 09.00–11.50 | 18mm underwater. Flooded roots. One enormous scaled dragon limb settles on the silt. Not a tentacle. Sediment curl. SHOT 07 | 11.50–15.00 | 24mm over their shoulder. The water dragon was there in the mist all along. Slow bow toward the lantern. Exhale of mist. Hold the last 0.70s. No fade. Seven clean cuts. No on-screen text. AUDIO: water on wood, canopy air, muffled pulse underwater, a breath at the bow. No lyrics.
