[SHOT 3.14 | REFS: @Marcus → marcus_ref_v1.png | @PullmanCoach → pullman_coach_plate_v1.png | @LedgerBook → prop | @Badge → prop | @PocketWatch → prop] MCU of @Marcus, clean single, explaining the train-split logistics. His expression is patient and informational — eyes level on off-camera @Daniel, mouth captured mid-word, one brow lifted a fraction in the "you should know this" professional appraisal. His right hand has lifted @LedgerBook slightly from his chest and tilts it forward at approximately fifteen degrees — a gestural habit, using the book as a vague pointing instrument toward the front of the train. Wardrobe: @Marcus/OnDuty as specified. Peaked Pullman cap with gold braided cord, silver name-badge "M. WHITFIELD / CONDUCTOR" legible on left blazer chest, gold pocket-watch chain visible across shirt front, salt-and-pepper mustache neatly trimmed. Composition: @Marcus center-frame with comfortable headroom, cap peak near the top of frame with a thin strip of cream-ivory coach ceiling above. His body angled approximately fifteen degrees off axis toward frame-right (toward off-camera @Daniel). Background: olive-green seat backs recede on both sides, walnut paneling frames camera-left, a soft-focus coach window at deep frame-left lets in warm afternoon light. @LedgerBook is visible at the lower-center of the frame, tilted forward in his right hand. Camera: ARRI Alexa 35, Cooke S7/i 50mm at T2.8 — matches previous @Marcus MCU (3.08) for coverage consistency. Lighting: warm 5200K sun-side window key from @Marcus's frame-right, 2:1 ratio, walnut bounce fill from frame-left. Honest deep-brown skin tone rendering with visible pore texture. Badge catches a clean but not blown specular. Gold cord on cap catches warm highlight. Grade: Kodak 2383, warm mahogany dominant, navy-black uniform mass grounding, correct honest skin color science. Style: photorealistic 2.39:1 cinematic still, prestige TV production quality, tack-sharp on eyes, correctly spelled legible badge text, visible wool weave on blazer, mustache detail clean, @LedgerBook tilted forward as the gestural element.

Generate a single, hyper-realistic character reference image (strictly no collages, text, watermarks, or borders). The image must feature a cinematic, three-quarter portrait of the described character, maintaining a sharp, tack-focused emphasis on the face with natural skin textures, pore details, and realistic micro-expressions. The lighting should be cinematic and directional (e.g., subtle split or Rembrandt lighting) to give depth, blending seamlessly with the environment specified in the character description. The character must have a natural, living presence, looking slightly off-camera or directly at the lens with a subtle, context-aware expression. Ensure the full head, neck, and upper shoulders are completely unobstructed. This image serves as a high-fidelity identity blueprint for temporal-consistent video generation.
