Great! Here's a visual storyboard version of “Level Up” – broken into six key Pixar-style scenes, each with a visual description, camera framing, and emotional tone. You can imagine this as a guide for an animated short or comic layout. 🎬 Storyboard: “Level Up” Scene 1: The Lonely Loop [Step 1: Once upon a time…] Visual Description: Richard walks across campus with hunched shoulders, earbuds in, hoodie up. Around him, students laugh, chat, play frisbee — he’s unnoticed, invisible. In the background, Emily laughs with friends near a tree, but Richard walks right past. Camera Framing: Wide shot — bustling campus with Richard small and isolated in the middle third. Background bright, Richard in muted tones. Emotional Tone: Loneliness, invisibility, yearning. Scene 2: Daily Defeat [Step 2: Every day…] Visual Description: Richard drops his books as Chase shoulder-bumps him. Chase walks off laughing. A few students look but don’t help. Richard kneels, picking up his things in silence. Camera Framing: Over-the-shoulder shot from Richard’s POV looking up at Chase. Tilted slightly to heighten discomfort and imbalance. Emotional Tone: Shame, helplessness, quiet frustration. Scene 3: The App Appears [Step 3: Until one day…] Visual Description: Late at night in his dorm room. Richard plugs in his phone — suddenly, it flickers and a glowing icon labeled IRIS appears. Curious, he taps. A quest pops up: “Quest 1: Say hello to someone tomorrow.” Camera Framing: Close-up on phone screen, See more
