The Empty Swing

Live-action photoreal, present day. A small suburban playground at dusk, empty swings drifting, a rusted slide, silhouetted trees. Blue hour, still. A person in a light jacket stands with one hand on a swing chain, looking at the empty seat. Wood-chip ground, a forgotten mitten, distant porch lights coming on. Deep blue dusk with a last warm horizon glow. Wide, 28mm, static. Soft grain, faint swing motion, 24fps.
