[Shot type: pov] Art style: 3D Pixar. Strong rule: cinematic live-action realism only. No 3D, no Pixar, no cartoon, no stylized animation, no glossy CGI, no clean modern city look. Create a wide panoramic establishing shot of a bleak late-1990s Russian residential courtyard in a poor sleeping district. Scene: gray old Soviet panel apartment blocks surround an empty courtyard. In the middle of the yard there are rusty metal swings, worn benches, cracked asphalt, muddy patches, scattered yellow-brown autumn leaves, old garages or utility sheds in the distance. In the far background, industrial power plant pipes are visible through the gray haze. The place feels cold, neglected, ordinary, and emotionally heavy. Weather and atmosphere: overcast autumn day, low gray sky, damp air, no direct sunlight, muted daylight, slight mist near the distant buildings, wet asphalt with dull reflections, faded colors, quiet depressive mood. Visual style: harsh Russian cinematic realism, bleak post-Soviet provincial atmosphere, restrained color palette inspired by Alexei Balabanov’s films, dirty grays, faded browns, cold blue-gray shadows, no beauty retouching, no fantasy elements. Camera and image: live-action film still, wide 16:9 panoramic frame, 35mm cinema lens, slightly distant observational camera, subdued contrast, natural rough textures, visible concrete stains, rust texture on metal swings, cracked asphalt detail, slight film grain, documentary feeling. Composition: empty foreground with cracked asphalt and fallen leaves, rusty playground elements in the middle ground, old panel buildings framing the sides, power plant pipes in the far background. The courtyard should feel like a real place where something bad could happen, not like a stylized movie set. Negative prompt: 3D, Pixar, Disney, cartoon, anime, CGI city, glossy surfaces, clean renovated buildings, modern playground, bright colors, sunny weather, dramatic Hollywood lighting, fantasy mood, beautiful European courtyard, luxury architecture, neon, cyberpunk, overly polished image. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "3D Pixar" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "3D Pixar". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "3D Pixar" idiom, not in any other medium.
