“DOLLÉA — EPISODE 1: “THREE LIVES” SHORT-FORM STORYBOARD Estimated runtime: 6–7 minutes Format: 16:9, cinematic adult doll-noir animation Master language: English VISUAL BIBLE The world is elegant, mature, and cinematic: ivory architecture, blush pink, pearl glass, chrome, and selective burgundy/red. It must not imitate Barbie. All protagonists are adult women and fully covered. Violetta has long straight black hair, dark eyes, sharp features, a confident cold expression, and sophisticated black, ivory and burgundy couture. Eliza has long blonde hair, light eyes, sharper intelligent features, and composed academic/city fashion in cream, dusty blue and muted pink. Ruby has long copper-red hair, green eyes, controlled confidence, and fitted burgundy/black fashion. Facial identity, hair, proportions, clothing language, and voice remain consistent in every shot.

Pearl glass catches the dawn while elegant cars move through spotless avenues. The camera descends slowly, making the city feel beautiful but strangely secretive. Camera: Slow aerial crane-down. Light/Color: Soft dawn pink and pearl highlights. Sound: Distant traffic, soft wind, one piano note. Ruby V.O.: “Everyone thinks they know what a beautiful life looks like.” Transition: The pink skyline dissolves into a dark alley. SHOT 2 — THE HIDDEN DEAL Visual: A black luxury car stops on wet pavement. A suited man steps out with a black case and meets a woman whose face remains hidden in shadow. He hands her the case. She checks the latch. Dialogue: MAN: “Everything is inside?” WOMAN: “Everything.” Camera: Low angle near the wheels, then close-up on hands and the case. Light: Cold moonlight mixed with pink neon. Sound: Rain, engine, footsteps, case latch. The man looks nervous. MAN: “What if she finds out?” The woman raises one hand. Her expensive ring catches the neon. WOMAN: “She won’t.” Transition: Hard cut to black. SHOT 3 — TITLE Visual: The DOLLÉA title appears. Three rapid cinematic flashes introduce Violetta, Eliza, and Ruby: three different faces, three different worlds. Ruby V.O.: “Three lives. Three different rules. And one story they are not ready to hear.” Sound: Music rises. Transition: Title fades into morning light. SCENE 2 — VIOLETTA, THE HEIRESS SHOT 4 — LATE MORNING Visual: Violetta wakes in an enormous luxury bedroom. Her phone reads 10:42. She opens her eyes without urgency and looks at the ceiling. VIOLETTA: “Great. Morning again.” She enters a huge dressing room where couture clothing fills the walls. She rejects several outfits before selecting a fitted black and burgundy look. VIOLETTA: “No. No… this one.” Camera: Slow dolly from the window toward the bed, then tracking along the wardrobe. Light: Ivory and blush daylight. Sound: Alarm, distant city, hangers, subtle beat. Transition: Whip pan from the wardrobe to breakfast. SHOT 5 — THE INHERITANCE Visual: At a marble breakfast table, the estate manager places coffee and a folder beside her. MANAGER: “Your meeting about your father’s company is today.” VIOLETTA: “He died three months ago. Could you go one day without reminding me?” The manager remains professional. MANAGER: “Maison Veyra is yours now.” Camera: Symmetrical two-shot, then close-up on legal documents and Violetta’s signature. VIOLETTA: “I never asked for it.” The music becomes darker. Transition: Match cut from the signature to the entrance of Maison Veyra. SHOT 6 — HER FATHER’S OFFICE Visual: Violetta walks through Maison Veyra headquarters: white marble, pink glass, elegant employees. She enters her father’s former office. Almost nothing has been changed. She slowly studies his desk and photographs. VIOLETTA, quietly: “Did you really leave all of this to me?” She discovers an old photograph marked with a strange red emblem. Camera: Slow 360-degree pan, then macro close-up on the emblem. VIOLETTA: “What is this?” An unknown number calls. She answers. VIOLETTA: “Who is this?” Silence. VIOLETTA: “Hello?” The call ends. A message appears: DON’T LOOK. Camera: Extreme close-up on the screen. Sound: Static, then one low bass hit. Transition: Cut. SCENE 3 — ELIZA, THE OBSERVER SHOT 7 — EARLY MORNING Visual: 06:17. Eliza wakes in a modest but beautiful apartment surrounded by books, notes, and research papers. She reaches for the alarm. ELIZA: “Five more minutes? No. Not today.” Camera: Static opening, then top-down view of her desk. She prepares coffee while reviewing notes. ELIZA: “Interesting fact: pink was not always considered a feminine color. That idea changed over time.” Her delivery is calm and matter-of-fact, not cute. Transition: Coffee cup placed on a table becomes the metro doors opening. SHOT 8 — THE ARCHIVE Visual: Eliza rides the metro alone, focused and self-contained. She arrives at a research center and works through archival documents. COLLEAGUE:”
