Storyboard Ancient Temple Kung Fu Sequence

Scene:
- 16:9 storyboard sheet, 12 panels, opening immediately with high-speed action
- Vast ancient temple interior, towering stone columns, worn stone floor, hanging drapes, and drifting incense smoke
- Strong beams of light cut diagonally into the frame from above, fine dust in the air, subtle damp reflections on the floor
- Keep the environment minimal with ample negative space, not crowded; use only colonnades, floor cracks, smoke, and drapes to suggest spatial scale
Subject:
  Panel 1:
  - A lone female performer is already midair, completing a flying diagonal kick, her body cutting diagonally across the frame
  - Red arrow marks the thrust direction of the leg, with subtle wind-pressure lines and dust trailing behind her
  Panel 2:
  - Handheld close-up, a palm strike sweeps sideways and slices through the air, the palm dominating the foreground
  - Face and shoulder line compressed by rapid strokes, the motion carrying strong forward momentum
  Panel 3:
  - Circling wide-angle shot, full body spinning like a twisting drape, hair and fabric flung into arcs
  - Blue arrow marks the circling camera movement, while the body silhouette remains clear
  Panel 4:
  - Low-angle upward shot of an impact palm strike, palm force smashing toward the front of the frame
  - Yellow marks draw the air shockwave, dust blasted up from the stone floor
  Panel 5:
  - Telephoto side-view silhouette spinning kick, the body compressed in front of the colonnade
  - The leg trajectory forms black-and-white speed afterimages, with strong parallax in the background columns
  Panel 6:
  - Overhead view of an aerial twist, body, hair, and fabric radiating outward
  - Large areas of negative space surround the center of rotation, wind lines spreading in circular patterns
  Panel 7:
  - Heavy stomp into the ground, cracks appearing in the temple stone slabs and fragments bouncing upward
  - Orange mark indicates the direction of hard light, yellow marks emphasize stone chips and dust waves
  Panel 8:
  - Ground-hugging sliding low sweep, the body skimming past almost parallel to the floor
  - Water-like floor ripples follow the sliding path, red arrow marks the sweep-kick trajectory
  Panel 9:
  - Aggressive close-up combo, elbow strike, palm strike, and backfist erupting in rapid succession
  - Fast afterimages layered around the arms, short black shot notes pressed against the panel edge
  Panel 10:
  - Extremely low monk-like beast stance, body sunk down, claw-shaped guard opening outward
  - Energy rises from the feet and along the spine, the pose oppressive like a ritual warrior
  Panel 11:
  - Body spinning at high speed, controlled elemental vortex swirling around the waist, arms, and fabric
  - Flame-like trails interweave with spirals of wind pressure, while keeping a restrained ritual quality
  Panel 12:
  - Final midair action freeze, body twisted into a powerful kung fu striking pose, not yet landed
  - Wind, dust, stone chips, flame trails, and energy spirals gather around her toward a single point of imminent impact
Important details:
  Drawing style:
  - Storyboard panels use only rough black-and-white pencil lines, with very little detail, preserving an unfinished action-previs feel
  - Fast gesture lines, simple body construction, and strong silhouette readability, emphasizing the energy of an early fight-choreography sketch
  - Every panel must show visible motion lines, shifted center of gravity, and bodily momentum; no static standing poses
  - Draw the character based on the reference image, preserving character identity, facial features, hairstyle, and key costume details
  Action attitude:
  - Tibetan kung fu grandmaster style, exaggerated, explosive, and continuously escalating
  - Include a flying diagonal kick, monk-like low stance, rapid palm strikes, drape-like turn, beast hand gesture, deep bow stance, aerial twist, ground-hugging sweep, sudden drop, claw-shaped guard, backward-arching jump, sliding recovery, and sculptural impact pose
  - The performer feels like a ritual warrior, combining discipline, anger, spiritual pressure, and full-body control
  - The action escalates from light wind-dust pressure into stone chips, floor ripples, air shockwaves, flame trails, and a final convergence of elements
  Cinematography and composition:
  - Alternate between handheld feel, whip-pan feel, circling camera, overhead shot, side silhouette, aggressive close-up, telephoto compression, extreme low angle, and strong parallax
  - Compositions include broad negative space, with the subject leaving clear motion paths within that space
  - Panel 1 opens with a diagonal composition, Panel 6 uses an overhead circular composition, and Panel 12 uses a converging central impact composition
  - Keep short black shot notes and panel labels brief, with no timecodes
  Lighting:
  - Hard beams from above pass through incense smoke and dust, creating sharp light-and-shadow cuts
  - Orange marks indicate light direction, but the actual storyboard drawing remains black and white
  - Heat-distortion lines appear around high-intensity actions, especially during the later combo, spins, and final airborne moment
  - The damp floor shows only subtle reflections, never stealing focus
  Element effects:
  - Early panels use subtle wind pressure, dust lines, and pressure lines
  - Middle panels intensify stone chips, floor cracks, water-like sliding ripples, and air shockwaves
  - Later panels add controlled flame trails and energy spirals, keeping a spiritual, ritual feeling rather than superhero effects
  - The final panel uses the strongest combined elemental surge, while the performer remains suspended in midair
  Annotation system:
  - Red arrows indicate body movement
  - Blue arrows indicate camera movement
  - Green marks indicate framing and composition notes
  - Orange marks indicate light direction
  - Yellow marks indicate elemental visual effects and energy effects
  - Black text is used for short shot notes and panel labels
Use case: action storyboard sheet
Constraints:
- No calm standing poses, setup shots, or slow opening
- No dialogue, singing, timecodes, extra characters, enemies, logos, or watermarks
- Do not make the temple background crowded; preserve minimal space and large areas of negative space
- Preserve the character identity, facial features, hairstyle, and key costume details from the reference image
- Keep the storyboard as a black-and-white pencil sketch; only the annotation system uses the specified colors
