SHOT: Medium shot in a luthier's workshop. An elderly man examines a violin body held up to window light, turning it to check the varnish. SUBJECT A violin maker — a man in his seventies, European, wire-rimmed glasses pushed down his nose. Leather apron over wool vest and cotton shirt. He holds a violin body (no strings, not yet assembled) by the neck and lower bout, tilting it in window light to examine the varnish for imperfections. Expression: Deep focus — squinting through and over glasses, head tilted. This man has examined 3,000 violins this way. THE VIOLIN: Golden-amber varnish — hand-applied, slight brush texture visible. Spruce top with straight tight grain. Maple back showing flame figure — the chatoyant stripe pattern of high-quality figured maple. SCENE A luthier's workshop — small, crowded. Chisels, gouges, planes on walls. On the bench: wood shavings, clamps, half-finished scrolls, varnish pots. Wood in various stages — raw plates, carved backs, bent ribs in forms. The window is the only light. CINEMATOGRAPHY Lighting: North-facing window — soft, cool, even. The window is behind the violin — varnish GLOWS where transmitted light passes through thin amber coating on translucent spruce. Varnish reflections shift as he tilts — the window as a moving bright rectangle on the curved surface. His face lit by reflected golden light off the violin — warm fill from below on chin and glasses. Tone: Cool window, warm golden varnish glow, workshop earth tones. STYLE Master craftsmanship — judging a surface by holding it to the light. No text, no signage, no writing, no logos, no watermarks.
