Use @image1 as the exact character reference for the girl and @image2 as the exact character reference for the boy.
Preserve both characters’ original designs throughout the entire video: hairstyle, facial features, yellow school clothing, body proportions, colors, and especially the soft hand-drawn pastel/crayon texture of the reference images.
STYLE:
Quiet Japanese youth romance animation. Soft pastel and wax-crayon texture, powdery handmade strokes, slightly rough edges, delicate white paper-like highlights, restrained facial animation, gentle rainy atmosphere. Backgrounds should share the same loose hand-drawn pastel texture and never become photorealistic.
No dialogue, no subtitles, no narration.
Emotion is communicated through silence, eye contact, pauses, body positioning, and tiny gestures.
Use mostly static compositions, restrained cuts, and very slow camera movement.
IMPORTANT SPATIAL RELATIONSHIP THROUGHOUT THE WALK:
The BOY walks on the LEFT side of the frame.
The GIRL walks on the RIGHT side of the frame.
They walk in the same forward direction.
The boy holds the umbrella.
He gradually shifts the umbrella toward SCREEN-RIGHT, toward the girl.
Therefore the GIRL remains completely covered by the umbrella.
The BOY'S RIGHT SHOULDER, the shoulder on SCREEN-LEFT and AWAY FROM THE GIRL, becomes exposed outside the umbrella and gets wet.
The wet shoulder must ALWAYS be the BOY'S RIGHT SHOULDER.
Never wet his left shoulder.
Never reverse their positions during this sequence.
────────────────────
[0-5s — SUDDEN RAIN / OPENING HOOK]
────────────────────
Late afternoon after school.
Begin with a quiet wide shot near the school entrance.
The girl is about to leave school alone.
Suddenly heavy rain pours down.
CUT immediately to an extreme low-angle close-up of the pavement.
Large raindrops violently strike the previously dry ground.
Hundreds of dark wet spots rapidly spread across the pavement.
Tiny splashes explode toward the lens.
CUT to the girl standing safely beneath the school entrance canopy.
She looks at the sudden downpour.
Medium close-up.
She realizes she has no umbrella.
Her eyebrows slowly tighten.
She slightly frowns and stares at the rain with quiet frustration.
Hold.
Beside her, the boy calmly opens his umbrella.
The opening umbrella creates the largest motion in the otherwise restrained scene.
────────────────────
[5-10s — THE BOY LOOKS BACK]
────────────────────
Wide side composition with large negative space.
The boy walks out from the covered school entrance and into the rain alone.
The girl remains behind beneath the canopy.
The boy walks several steps.
Then gradually slows down.
Stops.
Hold the stillness.
He remains facing away from the girl for a moment, hesitating.
Then slowly turns his head and upper body.
Over-the-shoulder shot from behind the boy.
Far behind him, the girl is still standing alone beneath the school entrance.
She notices him.
CUT to the girl's eyes.
CUT to the boy's eyes.
Their eyes meet.
Neither character moves.
Rain continues falling heavily in the empty space between them.
目線芝居.
まばたき.
タメ.
間.
After this quiet eye contact, the boy slowly turns around and walks back toward her.
────────────────────
[10-14s — SHE ENTERS THE UMBRELLA]
────────────────────
Static medium two-shot.
The boy stops beside the girl.
No dramatic gesture.
He simply holds the umbrella so that there is an open protected space beside him.
The girl looks at the boy.
Then at the empty space beneath his umbrella.
Then back at him.
The boy becomes slightly self-conscious and avoids direct eye contact.
A short pause.
The girl quietly takes one small step forward and enters beneath his umbrella.
They stand close, but their shoulders do not touch.
Hold the awkward silence briefly.
Then they begin walking together.
Establish their positions clearly:
BOY = LEFT.
GIRL = RIGHT.
Maintain these positions consistently for the rest of the walking sequence.
────────────────────
[14-19s — HE GIVES HER MORE OF THE UMBRELLA]
────────────────────
Long side-profile shot.
The boy walks on SCREEN-LEFT.
The girl walks beside him on SCREEN-RIGHT.
At first, the umbrella is approximately centered between them.
As they walk, the boy quietly begins shifting the entire umbrella toward SCREEN-RIGHT — toward the girl.
Make this a gradual, clearly readable action.
First a few centimeters.
They continue walking.
Then slightly farther toward her.
The girl now has plenty of protection from the rain.
Because the umbrella has moved toward SCREEN-RIGHT, the BOY'S RIGHT SHOULDER on SCREEN-LEFT gradually extends beyond the LEFT EDGE of the umbrella.
Show this spatial relationship clearly in the composition.
CUT TO INSERT:
Close-up specifically of the BOY'S RIGHT SHOULDER.
The left edge of the umbrella is visible above it.
The boy's RIGHT SHOULDER is clearly outside the umbrella.
Raindrops strike ONLY this exposed left shoulder.
The yellow fabric slowly becomes darker from the water.
His LEFT SHOULDER, the shoulder next to the girl, remains underneath the umbrella.
The girl's body remains completely dry.
────────────────────
[19-23s — THE GIRL LEANS FORWARD TO LOOK]
────────────────────
Return to a medium side two-shot.
BOY LEFT.
GIRL RIGHT.
The girl notices something unusual.
She does NOT simply turn her eyes sideways.
Instead, clearly animate her BODY moving.
First, her eyes glance toward the boy.
Then she slightly bends her upper body FORWARD, leaning her head and shoulders forward past her normal walking posture.
She subtly extends her neck and upper torso forward so she can look around the boy's front side and clearly inspect his exposed RIGHT SHOULDER on the far side.
Make the movement readable in silhouette:
girl walking normally
→ notices something
→ leans her upper body forward
→ slightly cranes her head forward
→ looks across toward the boy's far RIGHT SHOULDER.
Use a three-quarter angle where both the girl's forward-leaning posture AND the boy's wet RIGHT shoulder can be seen simultaneously.
Her gaze lands directly on the dark wet patch covering his RIGHT SHOULDER.
INSERT:
the wet RIGHT shoulder.
Raindrops continue landing on it.
CUT back:
Still leaning her upper body slightly forward, the girl traces the situation with her eyes:
wet RIGHT shoulder
→ umbrella shifted heavily toward her
→ her own completely dry shoulder.
She understands that he is deliberately letting himself get wet to keep her dry.
Her expression becomes softer.
────────────────────
[23-26s — SHE STARES AT HIM]
────────────────────
The girl slowly straightens slightly, but remains subtly closer to the boy than before.
Now she turns her face and stares directly at the boy's face.
She looks at him for several seconds.
The boy immediately realizes she is staring at him.
But he absolutely cannot make eye contact.
He keeps his face pointed straight forward.
His eyes remain fixed on the road ahead.
His posture becomes subtly stiff.
Close-up of the boy.
His cheeks gradually become pink.
Then visibly red.
One nervous blink.
His lips tighten slightly.
He continues looking ONLY forward.
Do not let him turn toward the girl.
The girl continues quietly staring at him from the side.
No dialogue.
No exaggerated embarrassment reaction.
Only silence, rain, footsteps, and subtle facial acting.
────────────────────
[26-28s — THE PUDDLE / RAIN STOPS]
────────────────────
CUT to an extreme low-angle close-up of a shallow puddle in the narrow residential street.
Do NOT show the sky yet.
The reflection of the shared umbrella and the two characters softly crosses the puddle.
Raindrops continuously hit the surface.
Splash.
Ripple.
Splash.
Ripple.
Then the impacts gradually become less frequent.
Many splashes become several.
Several become two.
One final raindrop falls.
A tiny splash.
A single circular ripple slowly expands across the puddle.
Then—
complete stillness.
No more raindrops.
The puddle surface becomes smooth.
The rain has stopped.
────────────────────
[28-30s — SUNNY ALLEY / FINAL IMAGE]
────────────────────
CUT to a beautiful wide rear shot.
Clearly establish that the boy and girl are now walking together through a QUIET, NARROW RESIDENTIAL ALLEY.
The alley is intimate and peaceful:
small houses and low walls on both sides,
utility poles,
softly drawn plants and shrubs,
wet asphalt,
small remaining puddles,
subtle reflections from the recent rain.
The heavy gray rain clouds have begun opening.
The SUN IS CLEARLY VISIBLE IN THE SKY above the alley.
A warm late-afternoon sun emerges between the remaining pale clouds.
Soft golden sunlight spreads across the wet alley.
The wet pavement begins reflecting the warm sunlight.
The boy and girl continue walking away from the camera.
BOY on the LEFT.
GIRL on the RIGHT.
The rain has completely stopped.
The sun is shining.
But—
THE UMBRELLA IS STILL OPEN.
Neither character closes it.
Neither character even reaches for it.
They continue walking side by side beneath the unnecessary umbrella.
Their distance is subtly smaller than before.
The boy still holds the umbrella slightly toward the girl's side.
A gentle post-rain breeze moves their hair and clothes.
The camera remains COMPLETELY STATIC.
No zoom.
No pan.
No additional cut.
Let the two characters slowly become smaller as they walk deeper into the narrow sunlit alley.
Composition:
the narrow alley creates natural leading lines toward the two characters,
their shared umbrella forms one simple silhouette,
the clearly visible sun glows in the sky above and beyond them,
wet pavement reflects the warm sky beneath their feet.
End with the quiet rear silhouette of the two students walking together beneath an open umbrella under a now-sunny sky.
Hold the final image.
────────────────────
ANIMATION / CINEMATOGRAPHY
────────────────────
Restrained hand-drawn Japanese animation acting:
目線芝居,
まばたき,
タメ,
間,
止め絵を活かした芝居,
原画的なポーズ,
繊細な中割り,
髪の毛のなびき,
衣服のフォロースルー,
オーバーラップ,
環境芝居,
シルエットで読める身体芝居.
Especially prioritize the girl's body acting when she notices the wet shoulder:
do not communicate this only through eye movement.
Her upper body must visibly lean and move FORWARD so she can inspect the boy's far-side LEFT shoulder.
Camera language:
static wide shot,
medium two-shot,
over-the-shoulder shot,
side-profile composition,
three-quarter two-shot,
shoulder insert,
facial close-up,
extreme low-angle puddle insert,
wide rear alley ending shot.
Use strong negative space and quiet pauses.
Avoid constant camera motion.
Avoid whip pans, action-style camera movement, rapid montage, dramatic zooms, flashy transitions, or excessive cuts.
────────────────────
CRITICAL SPATIAL CONTINUITY
────────────────────
During the shared-umbrella walking sequence:
BOY = LEFT SIDE.
GIRL = RIGHT SIDE.
UMBRELLA SHIFTS RIGHT → TOWARD GIRL.
RESULT:
GIRL = DRY.
BOY'S LEFT SHOULDER = under umbrella, dry.
BOY'S RIGHT SHOULDER = outside umbrella, wet.
The BOY'S RIGHT SHOULDER must be the ONLY clearly exposed shoulder.
Never mirror or reverse this orientation between shots.
When the girl notices the wet shoulder:
she must visibly LEAN HER UPPER BODY FORWARD and crane her head forward to inspect the boy's far-side RIGHT shoulder.
She first looks at the wet RIGHT shoulder, understands why it is wet, and ONLY THEN looks directly at the boy's face.
The boy does not look back at her.
He continues staring straight ahead while gradually blushing.
The rain stopping is first communicated through the puddle becoming completely still.
The final location must clearly be a narrow residential alley.
The final sky must clearly show the sun after the rain.
The final shot must clearly show both characters from behind, still sharing the open umbrella even though the rain has completely stopped.
────────────────────
VISUAL CONSISTENCY
────────────────────
Maintain the original reference-image pastel/crayon drawing style in every frame:
soft powdery pastel,
wax-crayon grain,
rough handmade contours,
slightly incomplete edges,
minimal shading,
warm yellow clothing,
cool blue-gray rainy atmosphere transitioning into warm post-rain sunlight.
No photorealism.
No 3D rendering.
No glossy digital anime finish.
No excessive facial detail.
No hairstyle changes.
No costume changes.
No duplicated characters.
No reversed character positions during the umbrella sequence.
No random accessories.
No warped anatomy.
No text.
No logos.
No dialogue.
Do not add hand-holding, hugging, kissing, confession, running, umbrella accidents, or additional dramatic events.
The emotional payoff is simple:
the rain has ended and the sun has appeared,
but neither of them wants to close the umbrella.
