Prompt

Ezekiel 41: in his vision of the new temple, the man whose appearance is like bronze measures the inner sanctuary while the prophet Ezekiel watches. Ezekiel, in a plain linen robe, stands large and central in the holy place, gazing in wonder toward the doorway of the Most Holy Place, from which a soft radiant golden light glows. Beside him the man of bronze — a tall figure gleaming like polished bronze, in a bronze-coloured wrapped head-cloth — holds a long measuring reed against the doorpost of the great carved double doors. The walls and doors are panelled in rich cedar, carved only with tall palm trees and open flowers, no figures. Before the doors stands a simple wooden altar-table, "the table that is before the LORD". Warm shafts of golden light fall from high windows; a reverent, awe-filled, majestic mood. 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. No cherubim, no carved creatures, no statues.
