[Scene] A cluttered, atmospheric gothic study or alchemist's workshop, hand-sculpted entirely from miniature materials. Rough clay flagstone floors, shelves packed with tiny sculpted bottles, scrolls made of aged paper, and gnarled roots growing through cracks in the walls. The entire set looks dusty, aged, and tactile.
[Lighting] Motivated practical lighting from the center of the group. A miniature candelabra with several flickering flames sits on a central table, casting a warm, dancing orange glow upwards onto the faces of the three figures and creating deep, dramatic shadows around the edges of the room.
[Color Grade] Signature del Toro palette. Rich, earthy tones—burnt umber, deep moss greens, aged mahogany, and antique gold. High contrast, with very deep, crushed blacks in the shadows emphasizing the warm pool of light in the center.
[Angle] Wide medium shot, eye-level with the puppets, capturing their interaction from the waist up.
[Subjects / Interaction] Three distinct stop-motion puppets gathered closely around a rough wooden table, mid-tense conversation.
- Central Figure [INSERT CHARACTER A DETAILS]: Leaning over the table, one clay hand pointing emphatically at a sculpted map or artifact on the table surface.
- Figure to Left [INSERT CHARACTER B DETAILS]: Leaning in closely, scrutinizing where the first figure is pointing, a hand on their chin in thought.
- Figure to Right [INSERT CHARACTER C DETAILS]: Standing slightly back from the table, arms crossed over their chest with a skeptical or guarded expression, looking at the other two.
Crucial Style Details: All three figures must show visible fingerprints, tool marks in the clay skin, glossy wooden bead eyes, and clothing made from rough miniature fabrics like burlap and felt with visible stitching.
