A single key frame from a modern premium 2D hand-drawn animated film, in the exact drawing style of the reference images: bold simple graphic shapes, big solid flat colour masses, fine ink lines, flat gouache texture. Image 1 shows the camera, framing and the street for this shot: the same full wide view of the street front with the black door, the tree in its planter, the wall lantern, the black lamppost, the window with the green awning and the café table on the right. Image 2 shows the man at four ages; here he is young but with dark stubble on his cheeks. Image 3 shows the woman in the long bright red sleeveless gown. Image 4 shows the three neighbours. Wide 16:9, night: deep blue sky with a few stars, the lamppost lantern and the wall lantern glow warm yellow and cast warm pools of light. The whole sidewalk is buried under a deep soft drift of thousands of small white-framed instant photos, up to everyone's thighs. Far right, in the lamplight, the woman stands thigh-deep in the photos, posing, fresh and perfect, smiling. Left of centre the man stands thigh-deep, exhausted and slumped, stubble on his cheeks, his white shirt untucked, a chunky white retro instant camera hanging from one hand. Around him, thigh-deep in photos, the three neighbours look at each other with determined faces: the little girl in the mustard-yellow coat and beret holding a small round hand mirror, the small round old lady in lilac with round glasses holding a small glowing oil lantern, and the big pot-bellied street sweeper with the huge grey walrus moustache, brown fur ear-flap hat and teal work jacket, rolling up his sleeves. Each person has exactly two arms and two hands. No text, no letters, no logos.
