First Light
A fishing harbour at dawn starts out grey; the knife re-lays the colour outward from the rising sun, boats bob on the swell over stacks of reflections, gulls cross the sky and the title is knifed in.

A moving oil painting laid with a palette knife: big, flat, sharp-edged planes of thick paint, each stroke with a ridge where the blade pressed and broken streaks where it ran out, raked by light so the paint has body. Value comes first, so every frame reads at a glance; warm light meets cool shadow, and reflections on water and wet stone are stacks of short horizontal knife dabs. Static paint stays still while boats, birds and lights move; colour can be re-laid by the knife stroke by stroke, and titles are knifed in. Made for cityscapes and landscapes, festive nights, poetic shorts and mood pieces.
Use this styleDescribe the place and the moment (a harbour at dawn, a street after rain, a canal town at night), what should move in the picture and the colours you want. Everything is painted in code, so no photos are needed. Plan one peak if you like: a grey world re-laid in colour by the knife from one point, or lights coming on one by one. Keep one title on the painting and leave the explaining to the voice-over and subtitles.
