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 street: the full wide view of the street front with the black door, the wall lantern, the lamppost, the window with the green awning. Image 2 shows how the five characters look at night with their props. Image 3 shows the man at four ages. Wide 16:9, the same full wide view as image 1, just before dawn: dark violet-blue sky with the first hint of pink low on the horizon, the lanterns still glowing. Overnight the instant photos have piled up into one huge soft mountain of thousands of small white-framed photos that buries the whole sidewalk, the café table and the tree, reaching up to the window sills; only the upper part of the door, the top of the lamppost with its lantern and the window with the green awning stick out. On top of the mountain all five characters sit and doze, leaning on each other: the big sweeper snoring with his fur hat over his eyes, the old lady with her lantern in her lap, the little girl curled up with her mirror, the woman in the red gown asleep sitting upright; and the man, a little apart, now has a long scruffy copper-ginger beard, his young face otherwise the same as the first version in image 3, his hair a mess with a small grey pigeon sitting in it, the white instant camera in his lap. Each person has exactly two arms and two hands. No text, no letters, no logos.
