Visual research and tone anchors. The language you are trying to speak before the camera rolls.
Each moodboard ties to a production or a specific sequence and captures:
- Palette — key hex values, colour relationships, temperature
- Texture — grain, halation, compression artifacts you want to invoke
- Reference stills — frames from other work that define the target feeling
- Anti-references — what this is explicitly not
Palette Convention
Document colours as a markdown table with inline CSS swatches if needed:
| Swatch | Hex | Role |
|---|---|---|
| ██ | #0d0d0d | Shadow base |
| ██ | #c9a84c | Alchemical gold / practicals |
| ██ | #a89880 | Skin / highlight rolloff |
Reference Stills
Host reference images in R2 (https://assets.gastronomique.work/references/) and embed with Markdown. Credit the source work in the caption.
