QT: Cinematic scene My spin: noir meets cyberpunk ------------------------------------------------------- Like others I wondered about 'cinematic'. Here's Gemini's definition: "Cinematic" refers to film-like, visually stunning, and emotive storytelling, often characterized by deliberate lighting, careful composition, and intentional color grading rather than just high-resolution footage. It evokes the experience of watching a movie, prioritizing mood, artistic framing, and a curated atmosphere to create an emotional impact." https://budgetpixel.com/p/20574

Or a holographic training module for new agents. I meant Gemini was the tech guy, with his head set, typing out his researched answers to your questions. Ooooh Gemini would actually make a great secret agent code name.

Oh, Phillip Dick is one of my most favored authors. When I was a teen, I considered him THE BEST author, but now, he one of many.🙂 The book is different from the film, less action-oriented

CaylaCatz

He's a handy fella. And smart too. He's like the tech guy in the secret agent film giving the hero all the info he needs to acquire the target.

CaylaCatz

Very cool! and I like how you defined "cinematic" . I actually those elements are a good goal for images to strive for too.

CaylaCatz

That would be a cool name. Maybe it's the agent's name and he's an assssin instead of a secret agent

DavidP

I guess he could be a character in a William Gibson novel. This whole scene could even be a cyber construct

DavidP

Ah yes, I wondered if that was maybe what you meant. Scorpio could also be a cool name

I like the dynamics of the shot and the steam that enhances the sense of depth!

DavidP

That I can imagine, knowing how books are usually treated when turned into film.

DavidP

Could well be. Enjoyed the film. Never read the book
