Prompt

Isaiah 20: Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. Seen from a modest distance, the prophet Isaiah walks barefoot along a dusty road outside Jerusalem's walls, dressed only in a simple knee-length linen loincloth wrap with a rough sackcloth cloth draped over one shoulder, head bowed, carrying nothing, as a sign of the captivity of Egypt and Ethiopia. Onlookers at the city gate watch him in astonishment. Bright morning light, solemn and striking mood; modest and dignified. 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.
