The prompt

Scene paragraph A 1950s jazz lounge at night, photoreal period drama, Kodak film grain. A long polished wooden bar with red leather stools runs into the room, bottles glowing on mirrored shelves behind it, a bartender in a white jacket polishing a glass. To the left of the bar are small round tables, a dark wooden column and a small stage with a red curtain under warm spotlights, where a woman in a red dress sits alone at a table. At the far right end of the bar a saxophonist in a grey suit waits on a stool. Warm amber light and haze.

A close shot across the bar top toward the bartender, glasses and an ashtray in the foreground, the camera on a short slider moving slowly toward screen right from the first second. 0–2s: he polishes a glass behind the foreground glasses. 2–4s: the foreground glasses glide past faster than he moves while the bottles behind him drift slowly. 4–6s: the gentle parallax continues over a short distance. 6–8s: the slide settles on a cleaner angle of his face as he sets the glass down and smiles. Throughout: a short slow sideways slide with clear parallax, one continuous take.
