The Crowd

Live-action photoreal, present day, concert grade. A huge stage under sweeping lights, haze in the beams, a single mic on a stand. Night, roaring energy. A person in a fitted sequined stage jacket grips the mic, arm raised to the audience. The camera dollies rapidly backward off the stage, pulling away to reveal a vast dark crowd stretching back, phone lights like stars. Hot white stage beams against a sea of tiny lights, 35mm, dolly out. Shallow depth of field, grain, volumetric haze, 24fps.
