Rotoscoped pencil-sketch animation, graphite lines on white paper, loose hand-drawn outlines, cross-hatching for shadow, trembling lines, no fills, monochrome.

Graphite grade: monochrome throughout, graphite grey as the only tone, white paper field, cross-hatched shadows that never fill solid, no colour anywhere. The camera does not move unless a shot says so. Naturalistic performance, no dialogue, no music.

[00:02-00:04] Shot 2: The young man in @Image1, about thirty-two, in a peaked cap, looks just past the lens and holds. Graphite lines on white paper. Close-up, portrait telephoto, a lot of face. Hard cut.
[00:04-00:06] Shot 3: The man in @Image1, about forty-two, with a moustache and no glasses, laughs at the wheel of a car, seen from the front through the windscreen; beside and behind him a woman and children face forward, soft and out of focus. Graphite lines on white paper. Medium shot. Hard cut.
[00:06-00:07.5] Shot 4: The same man from @Image1 in a fur hat drives at night, dashboard glow on his face, headlights passing. Graphite lines on white paper. Close, standard lens. Hard cut.
[00:07.5-00:09] Shot 5: The man in @Image1, about fifty-two, with glasses, stands still in a bleak outdoor scene. Graphite lines on white paper. Medium shot. Hard cut.

[00:10.5-00:13.5] Shot 7: A small family car drives away from us down a tree-lined avenue in fog, flat winter light, no faces. Graphite lines on white paper. Wide, standard lens; the camera drifts forward slowly and smoothly, the only camera move in the film. Hard cut.
[00:13.5-00:16] Shot 8: The man in @Image1, about forty-two, sits in a plain room with a guitar and plays quietly, head bowed. Graphite lines on white paper. Medium shot, standard lens. Hard cut.

[00:18-00:20] Shot 10: The man in @Image1, about seventy-two, with glasses and a dressing gown, sits at a desk with a lamp, a wall of books behind him with no legible spines. Graphite lines on white paper. Medium shot. Hard cut.
[00:20-00:22] Shot 11: The man in @Image1 in nineteenth-century evening dress with a cravat sits at a candlelit dinner; the company behind him out of focus, backs to us. Medium shot, portrait telephoto. Hard cut.
[00:22-00:24] Shot 12: The man in @Image1 in a cardinal's cassock with a white collar turns toward us in a bright marble hall; other men in robes stand out of focus behind him. Graphite lines on white paper. Medium shot. Hard cut.
[00:24-00:30] Shot 13: Final beat: the old man in @Image1, about eighty-five, gaunt and upright in simple dark clothes, stands alone and small on a bare stage in the warm pool of two work lamps, seen from the balcony front over dark rows of empty seats, the framing and light of @Image2. The work lamps dim steadily across the whole shot, from warm to near dark, while he stands still and the frame stays alive to the last frame. Wide, standard lens.
Audio: Natural diegetic sound only - a door, a car engine, guitar strings, fabric, faint room tone. No voices, no speech. No music, no score.
