Scene 01 — Where do we go first? Creative Direction & Original Scene Design by jexiq q — cinematic poetic visual universe. A small independent travel agency in an old European house in Novi Sad, Serbia. Warm, intimate and slightly chaotic: a faded map of Europe covers the wall, surrounded by old postcards, vintage travel posters, handwritten notes, train tickets, photographs, worn leather suitcases, guidebooks and a small globe. Soft morning light enters through the window. At the wooden desk sit our ginger-haired girl and her closest friend, naturally close and completely comfortable together. The ginger girl has recognizable copper-red hair, delicate freckles across her nose and cheeks, and holds two different travel postcards, one in each hand, asking which destination they should choose. Her best friend is a beautiful Black woman with deep brown skin, natural textured hair and several thin dreadlocks woven through it, one tiny bead catching the light. She points toward one postcard with a knowing smile. Their eyes meet. A tiny shared smile — quiet, genuine affection between two inseparable best friends. Other postcards — Paris, Rome, Lisbon, Prague, Athens — lie scattered across the desk. Between them is an open travel journal: Our way there 1. ______ An empty map of Europe waits beside it. Their red dachshund rests beneath the desk, looking up at them. A tiny lavender sprig is tucked almost invisibly into the ginger girl's sketchbook. Through the window, only fragments of Novi Sad appear: old façades, greenery and gentle Vojvodina morning light. Petrovaradin Fortress and its famous clock tower remain outside the frame, reserved for a later scene. Impasto builds tactile plaster, wood, leather, paper and map surfaces with thick visible paint. Palette Knife constructs the architecture, furniture, map and strong silhouettes with broad structural strokes. Glazing creates layered morning light, soft shadows and emotional depth, gently connecting the two women. Color Ink adds precise accents: copper strands, freckles, dreadlocks, bead, handwritten lettering, pencil marks, postcard edges, lavender and the dachshund's eyes. Our established visual universe: poetic cinematic realism, tactile painterly realism, subtle magical realism, authentic human intimacy, tenderness, aspiration, friendship, rich natural light, imperfect handmade surfaces, emotional storytelling through small gestures. Painted, never CGI. No glossy digital surfaces, tourist-poster look, fashion posing or artificial perfection. Preserve character continuity, recurring dachshund, hidden lavender signature and the emotional identity of our universe.
Two women sit at a wooden desk adorned with postcards and an open scrapbook, a globe, and books. The woman on the left has red hair, a fair complexion, and wears a white top with a necklace, holding up a postcard of a coastal town. The woman on the right has dark curly hair, a darker complexion, and wears a patterned green top, pointing to a postcard of a city with ornate buildings held by the other woman. The background features a wall covered with a faded map and various papers, including one with "VOIVODINA" and another with "ENCEFECS" written on it. A window with a view of a building and greenery is visible to the right, letting in natural light. A small dog peeks out from under the desk in the bottom center.
