The prompt

Live-action footage, real people, natural skin and textures, in a two-strip Technicolor look of the late 1920s: a limited two-colour palette of salmon reds and blue-greens, where blues read as teal and yellows read as peach, soft glowing highlights and fine grain. 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 palette stays limited to salmon reds and blue-greens with soft glowing highlights, one continuous take.

Reusable look block

Live-action footage, real people, natural skin and textures, in a two-strip Technicolor look of the late 1920s: a limited two-colour palette of salmon reds and blue-greens, where blues read as teal and yellows read as peach, soft glowing highlights and fine grain.

Paste this before any scene. If the look needs a light source (neon, streetlights, golden hour), set the time of day to match.

Tip

Say what the missing colours become (blues read as teal, yellows as peach). Negative phrasing such as "no true blue" tends to backfire.
