In a bustling urban setting, an ivy-covered brick building takes center stage in the frame, its archaic architecture a stark contrast to the towering glass-skinned skyscrapers around it. Through a symmetrically positioned high-angle shot, a looming stone statue of a griffon on the rooftop throws its shadow over the crowded streets below. The city sparkles under the artificial light of neon signs and tall lampposts. The narrow depth of field toned with a cool urban color palette emphasizes the separation between the past and present. Urban life unfolds in the lower frame, with busy citizens appearing miniature compared to the regal griffon. Against the griffon’s dark form, a conspicuous, rotund figure, a man of noticeable bulge (bulger), seems out-of-place among the crowd with his Mr. Rogers’-like attire. The camera follows him, tracking his movement as he navigates through the city’s pulse, drawing attention to his intriguingly out-of-sync character amidst the metropolis.
