01The arrival
Prompts
Image · gpt-image-2
Photoreal portrait interior render of a cafe entry stair at night: a charcoal stacked-brick wall on one side, warm timber batten screen on the other, a run of dark stone steps climbing to a lit landing hung with small framed portraits, a low bed of scarlet Japanese maple at the foot of the stair. Warm concealed step lighting, moody and quiet. Composited into the scene, a couple drawn as FLAT BLACK-AND-WHITE LINE ILLUSTRATIONS sits together on the steps: clean uniform outlines, white fill, no shading, no colour except the flat black of their hair and trousers.

Locked-off camera with a slow gentle drift up the stair; the illustrated couple shifts and gestures in place while the rendered room stays still.

02The long counter
Prompts
Image · gpt-image-2
Photoreal portrait interior render of a warm cream-plaster cafe: a long back bar of open timber shelving stacked with bottles and ceramics, a stone counter, brass pendant lamps on long cords, pale terrazzo floor and a timber communal table. Soft warm daylight. Populated with FLAT BLACK-AND-WHITE LINE-DRAWN figures: a barista behind the counter, a customer reading a menu, two friends seated at the table with iced drinks and a tote bag.
Motion · Kling v3 · 4s
Slow handheld pan left to right across the bar, settling on the seated pair; the drawn figures animate subtly, lifting cups and turning to talk.

03The coffee bar
Prompts
Image · gpt-image-2
Photoreal portrait interior render of a minimal concrete cafe: a heavy board-formed concrete counter, a white plaster back wall with slim open shelves of paper coffee bags and ceramics, a warm neon 'coffee' sign glowing above the espresso machine, a fluted ceiling with recessed light coves, tall metal stools. Cool grey daylight with one warm accent. Populated with FLAT BLACK-AND-WHITE LINE-DRAWN figures: a barista pouring filter coffee, two customers on stools waiting.

Camera pushes slowly toward the counter as the barista pours; the drawn figures move within the still rendered room.

04The halo
Prompts
Image · gpt-image-2
Photoreal portrait interior render of an industrial cafe: raw recycled brick and patched plaster walls, a fluted stainless service counter, a large suspended circular ring light glowing warm above it, an arched mirror, dark terrazzo floor, low leather banquettes. Evening light, rich and moody. Populated with FLAT BLACK-AND-WHITE LINE-DRAWN figures: staff behind the counter, customers ordering, a pair seated in the foreground with coffee cups.
Motion · Kling v3 · 4s
Swift pan across the brick wall and the glowing ring, settling on the counter queue.

Prompts
Image · gpt-image-2
Photoreal portrait interior render of a warm ochre cafe with a signature identity: deep coffee-brown 'bu co.' lettering on a golden-yellow plaster wall, a dark timber arched doorway with the same mark etched on the glass, a coffered ceiling with concealed golden cove lighting, an opal glass pendant, a curved ochre counter and terracotta tiled floor. Rich golden hour glow. Populated with FLAT BLACK-AND-WHITE LINE-DRAWN figures: a customer in a black jacket holding a takeaway cup, a woman with a tote bag beside him, a barista working behind the counter.

Slow reveal drifting right across the branded wall to the arched entry, the drawn customers walking through frame.
