Film still from a Vietnamese R&B music video, shot on ARRI Alexa Mini LF with a Canon K35 55mm at T1.5, camera outside the window looking in. A rainy afternoon in Hà Nội Old Quarter: a small old café on the second floor, rain streaming down the window glass, reflections of the wet street with motorbikes in colourful ponchos. Behind the glass, the young man from the reference (short black hair with a middle part, charcoal trench coat over a white tee) sits at a wooden table in the right third with a cup of Vietnamese drip coffee, chin on his hand, looking out at the rain with sad eyes. Off-centre composition, raindrops in sharp focus on the glass, real textures, Kodak Vision3 500T grain, documentary realism, not glossy, no HDR. No readable text, no signs, no logos, no watermark.
