The Skyline

Live-action photoreal, present day, cold cinematic grade. A high rooftop at blue-hour dusk, a low safety wall, gravel and vent stacks, a glittering city skyline beyond. Wind, distant traffic glow. A person in a long charcoal wool overcoat and scarf stands at the parapet, back to camera, hands in pockets, looking out over the city. The camera dollies steadily backward, pulling away to reveal the full sweep of skyscrapers and the rooftop around them. Cool blue sky against warm city lights, 35mm, dolly out. Shallow depth of field, subtle grain, gentle motion blur, 24fps.
