One Believer Helps Another Put On a Clean White Mantle
A man lets a torn old cloak lie on the ground while an older man drapes a white fringed mantle over his shoulders.
Prompt
Colossians 3: 'Ye have put off the old man with his deeds; and have put on the new man... Put on therefore, as the elect of God... bowels of mercies, kindness... And above all these things put on charity.' In the courtyard of a home in Colossae at sunrise, a believer lets a torn, stained old cloak fall to the ground at his feet while an older brother in the faith helps him put on a clean, fresh white mantle; both large and close, the new believer's face full of quiet joy. Warm golden morning light, a whitewashed wall and a fig tree behind. Both men wear wrapped head-cloths over their hair. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
