Bolt wants to help immediately, but the wall socket is too high and difficult to reach. His first rescue attempts fail. At the end of Part 1, Bolt discovers that help may come from the sleepy power bank mascot Banky, setting up Part 2. TITLE / HEADER At the top of the storyboard sheet, include: Project: Desklight Tales Title: THE LITTLE CHARGER AND THE LAST 1% Subtitle: Storyboard — Part 1 Scene range: 0:00–0:15 (15 seconds) Optional small production-style note: Page 1 of 2 MAIN CHARACTERS Bolt (The Little Charger) Tiny white wall charger mascot Rounded plastic body, two prongs, small arms and legs Big glowing blue eyes Energetic, brave, expressive, helpful Small but heroic Mobi (The Smartphone) Cute smartphone mascot Rounded rectangular phone body Face displayed on screen, expressive animated eyes and mouth Slightly dramatic but lovable Shows a bright 1% battery warning during the story Important incoming video call is implied on-screen later, but do not show copyrighted interface Banky (The Power Bank) Chunky rectangular power bank mascot Soft sleepy eyes Calm, dependable, a little slow and drowsy Introduced near the end of Part 1 as possible help Link (The USB Cable) Flexible cable mascot / charging cable character Thin, stretchy, a bit nervous Can be shown briefly in Part 1 as a supporting prop-character Not the main focus yet ENVIRONMENT / PROP WORLD The desk world should be visually rich and adorable: wooden desk wall socket positioned clearly too high / inconvenient for Bolt desk lamp with warm glow notebook stack / books laptop edge or keyboard mouse pad pen holder sticky notes coffee mug small desk plant rolling chair in background charging cable, power bank, phone stand Everything should be scaled so the mascots feel tiny in a big human desk world. STORYBOARD PANELS — PART 1 (15 PANELS) Panel 1 (0:00–0:01) Wide establishing shot of a cozy desk at night. Warm desk lamp glow, cool blue shadows. Mobi sits on the desk, happy and ready near a stand. The workspace feels quiet, late-night, and important. Caption: “Night settles over the desk before one important call.” Panel 2 (0:01–0:02) Medium shot of Mobi excitedly lighting up. The phone screen face looks cheerful. A simple incoming-call or video-call reminder glow is hinted at nearby. Caption: “Mobi is ready for a very big moment.” Panel 3 (0:02–0:03) Close-up on Mobi’s screen as the battery suddenly flashes 1% in bright red. Expression changes from happy to shocked. Caption: “Then the terrible truth appears: 1% battery.” Panel 4 (0:03–0:04) Mobi panics dramatically. Tiny red battery icon blinks. Background lighting feels tense for a beat. Caption: “The phone who was ready to shine begins to panic.” Panel 5 (0:04–0:05) Bolt makes a quick heroic entrance from another part of the desk. Tiny legs running, determined face, one arm raised like “I’ve got this.” Caption: “Bolt rushes in like a tiny emergency hero.” Panel 6 (0:05–0:06) Bolt stands in front of Mobi reassuringly. Mobi looks worried but hopeful. Caption: “He promises Mobi that he will fix this.” Panel 7 (0:06–0:07) Bolt turns and notices the wall socket high above the desk edge or wall panel. Use scale contrast to make it feel far away and intimidating. Caption: “Then Bolt sees the real problem: the socket is too high.” Panel 8 (0:07–0:08) Action shot. Bolt attempts his first brave jump toward the socket. He is clearly too small. Caption: “First attempt: jump higher than the problem.” Panel 9 (0:08–0:09) Comic beat. Bolt lands awkwardly or slides back down. Mobi watches anxiously in background. Caption: “It does not go well.” Panel 10 (0:09–0:10) Bolt stacks books or climbs a notebook pile for a second try. Show him straining with determination. Caption: “So Bolt tries the classic hero solution: stand on books.” Panel 11 (0:10–0:11) He reaches higher now, but still not enough. Link the cable can appear stretching from the desk but not helping effectively yet. Caption: “Closer… but still not enough.” Panel 12 (0:11–0:12) Link stretches awkwardly in a funny attempt to help, but the setup slips or tangles. Keep it cute and harmless. Caption: “Even Link tries to help — and only adds more chaos.” Panel 13 (0:12–0:13) Cut back to Mobi. Battery still at 1%, screen dimmer, worried expression. Stakes feel real but family-friendly. Caption: “Meanwhile, Mobi is running out of hope.” Panel 14 (0:13–0:14) Bolt pauses, thinking hard. Then he notices Banky sleeping off to the side of the desk near other gadgets. Banky is calm, tucked beside a cable or near a pen holder. Caption: “Then Bolt spots someone who might actually help.” Panel 15 (0:14–0:15) Cliffhanger ending. Bolt rushes toward sleepy Banky and nudges him awake, while Mobi watches hopefully in the background. Banky opens one sleepy eye. End with strong anticipation for Part 2. Caption: “A new plan begins… if Banky wakes up.” BOTTOM REFERENCE / DESIGN SECTION CHARACTER & PROP REFERENCE Create a clean reference strip at the bottom showing: Bolt front pose worried pose heroic pose Mobi happy screen face panic / low-battery face worried dim-screen face Banky sleeping pose half-awake pose calm helpful pose Link neutral cable pose stretched pose tangled/comic pose Props wall socket charging cable stack of books desk lamp phone stand power bank notebook coffee mug PRODUCTION NOTES Add a neat production-notes box with text similar to: Tone: playful rescue comedy, cute urgency, warm emotional setup Theme: even tiny helpers can save big moments Performance: Bolt = brave, energetic, determined Mobi = expressive, worried, vulnerable Banky = sleepy, calm, reliable Link = nervous comic support Part 1 ending: stop at the wake-up / help reveal, save the full rescue payoff for Part 2 CAMERA / STORY NOTES Include a box with notes like: begin with cozy night establishing shot use close-ups for the 1% reveal and emotional beats emphasize scale difference between tiny mascots and giant desk objects increase urgency from Panel 7 onward keep action readable and family-friendly final panel should function as a clear cliffhanger COLOR / MOOD / LIGHTING NOTES Include a color palette / notes box: midnight blue warm desk-lamp amber soft white plastic glowing battery red mint / cyan gadget accents gentle wood brown And written notes such as: cozy nighttime practical lighting cool blue ambient shadows warm heroic highlights on characters glowing UI accents for emotional readability IMPORTANT VISUAL RULES Keep the sheet highly readable, polished, and professional All characters must remain consistent across every panel Make the desk world feel large and cinematic compared with the tiny mascots Expressions must be strong and adorable No violence, no fear, no dark horror Focus on charm, urgency, and emotional clarity This is Part 1 only, ending on the reveal that Banky may help in Part 2"
