CONDUCTOR S09 FIRST. Image 1 is the character reference: keep this same man, same face, wavy ginger hair and beard, long-legged proportions, smooth mustard-yellow oversized coat, olive turtleneck, dark brown cropped trousers, chunky tan boots, paper coffee cup and slim tightly furled navy-blue umbrella with a wooden crook handle. Images 2 and 3 are style references only: copy their painting manner, simple flat gouache shapes, clean graphic silhouettes, very little detail, big calm areas of pale colour, soft washed background fading into mist. Do not copy any person, place or object from images 2 and 3. Image 4 is the cast sheet: use these exact supporting character designs whenever they appear. Scene: Frontal medium shot outside a bistro. A big silver dome platter cover rolls fast on its rim along a brass railing straight toward the face of the tiny pompous registrar from the cast sheet, who stands reading his big red binder. A waiter behind them has tripped on the doorstep. In the center our hero raises his closed umbrella to intercept the rolling dome with the tip, sipping coffee with half-closed eyes. Generic city, no landmarks, no crowd, dry matte pavement without reflections. No text, no logos, no watermark.
