Across the Room

Live-action photoreal, present day, warm grade. A crowded elegant gala, chandeliers, guests mingling, soft bokeh. Evening, warm. A person in formal attire stands still amid the crowd, catching sight of someone, expression softening. The camera stays locked in place and zooms in with the lens, magnifying tight onto their face as the crowd blurs. Warm gala light, rich bokeh, 85mm zoom, lens zoom in. Shallow depth of field, subtle grain, 24fps.
