01Christopher Nolan style
cool, grounded large-format realism
A Tim Burton-style look is crooked grey-blue gothic whimsy broken by single pops of bright colour.
10Live-action footage, real people, natural skin and textures, with gothic whimsy: a desaturated grey-blue world of spindly, crooked buildings and curling lampposts, broken by single pops of bright colour, a playful, macabre fairy-tale feel. A city street in the late afternoon. A young man in a dark wool coat 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 world stays desaturated grey-blue and crooked, with single pops of bright colour, one continuous take.

Give it things to bend: spindly buildings, curling lampposts. The crooked shapes came through more lightly than the colour.
