A polished studio concept art board — a single composite page that reads as a high-end pre-production pitch deck for an animated short. NOT a vintage pencil sketch, NOT a finished movie frame, but a polished concept page in the visual treatment described below. Layout: TOP HEADER (left): bold modern display typography for the title "мультик про собачку на 5 минут грустный Формат: Короткая история.", with a small stylised glyph next to it (sparkle, comet, or motif matching the visual treatment). Below in smaller crisp print: "OPENING SEQUENCE • DRAFT • PAPER CUT". TOP HEADER (right): a tidy "CHARACTER LINEUP" sub-heading set in the same typography. CENTER GRID: 26 numbered storyboard panels in a 4-column grid. Each panel is a softly rounded card with a thin warm-grey border and a delicate drop shadow (studio pre-prod board look). Inside every panel: a finished miniature of the action — rendered in the visual treatment described below. Top-left of each panel a small bold numbered tab (01, 02, 03…) and bottom-right an "X.Xs" timing tab — both set in clean modern typography (NOT hand-lettering). Panels: Panel 01 (12s): Kitchen at dawn, window light from the left; exactly one dog, Buddy, lying on a worn cushion by the closed back door, red collar and brass tag on his neck; kitchen empty otherwise. Panel 02 (10s): ХОЗЯИН kneeling beside Buddy on the cushion, left hand on Buddy's head, red leash coiled in his right hand; same dawn window light.

Panel 26 (8s): Blank dusk-blue textured paper background, a small red paper collar shape at the bottom center. RIGHT SIDEBAR (about 22% of page width): character model sheets. For each character below, render 3-4 polished turnaround sketches — front view, three-quarter view, profile, and a dynamic action pose — each in the visual treatment described below.

BOTTOM STRIP: a horizontal timeline ruler with seconds markings (0, 5, 10, 15… up to total duration), tick marks aligned to the panel durations above — clean vector look, not hand-drawn. Below the ruler, a tidy notes row: STORY / FLOW • ANIMATION • TIMING & RHYTHM • CAMERA — each with 2-3 short polished bullet points in crisp typography (you can invent plausible production notes from the story). VISUAL TREATMENT FOR PANELS AND CHARACTER LINEUP (THIS IS THE CRITICAL PART): Layered paper-cut illustration, clean cut-paper shapes, visible paper grain, crisp edges, dimensional stacked layers, soft shadows between layers, handcrafted paper diorama. Apply this treatment as the dominant aesthetic across every panel and character thumbnail consistently, with no mixed styles. OVERALL STYLE: high-end studio mood-board page with the visual treatment above carried through every panel and every character render consistently. Clean modern typography, soft drop shadows on cards, occasional smooth-gradient accents in the margins (sparkles, stars, arrows). NO aged-paper look, NO hand-pencil sketches, NO mixed styles — every miniature on this page is rendered in the same single visual treatment described above. This is a polished pre-production concept page, finished enough to pitch in a studio review meeting.
