Smoky haze

The prompt

Live-action footage, real people, natural skin and textures, in a thick smoky haze: smoke from street-food grills hanging in the air, shafts of sunlight cutting through it in visible beams, everything softened and layered into depth. A city street in the late afternoon. A young man with a full dark beard in a grey duffle coat and a red scarf walks along the sidewalk past shop windows toward a small corner café. Wide shot, the camera tracking sideways beside him at walking pace from the first second. 0–2s: he walks past a row of shop windows. 2–4s: he passes a flower stall and a parked bicycle. 4–6s: he reaches the café and the camera eases to a stop as he does. 6–8s: he opens the café door and steps inside. Throughout: the smoke keeps hanging in the air with sunbeams cutting through it, one continuous take.
