The script arrived with the cut counts, camera angles and lyrics already decided, and the job was to turn them into pages the animation team could build from. Every page carries the cut number, a 16:9 picture, dialogue and lyrics, a note column and timing, all on the studio's template.

What a board adds inside that template is staging. The rainbow noodles have to read as a colour change along the counter, so the camera follows Loopy across four bowls instead of cutting between them. One page drops the characters entirely and fills the frame with diagonal strands. In the finale the whole cast sits at one table and still has to be readable at thumbnail size.

The excerpt opens with a first-pass thumbnail beside the page it became, then runs one clean beat of the first pass as separate cuts. Six delivered pages follow. The Korean on the pages is production notes, and the captions give the gist in English.
