The “1% Battery” Panic

Your phone shows 1% battery just when you are about to make an important payment. Show what happens next. Task: Create a 6-frame storyboard showing the complete sequence from discovering the problem to its resolution. You may include: phone, people, charger, shop, street, expressions, gestures, etc. Challenge: Make the story understandable even if all text is removed. Aesthetic direction: Fast-paced, relatable, slightly humorous, everyday life.
