Art style: Cinematic Realistic. Swan_Hand sits in the near foreground in the foreground, resting on glass valve. Edison_Hand sits further back in the frame in the foreground, resting on wire. Medium shot at eye level, 9:16. Split-screen layout. Key light dual sources from center, warm and localized. Focus: the synchronized movement of hands. Dominant palette: emerald green, industrial amber, brass, dark walnut. This is a single frozen instant (mid action) — no motion blur, no action chained. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Realistic" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Realistic". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Cinematic Realistic" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Joseph Swan: A distinguished man in his late 40s with a well-groomed, full white beard and thinning hair. He has a calm, scholarly expression and wears spectacles perched on his nose. He is shown in a Victorian-era study filled with leather-bound books and glass vacuum pumps. The environment is warm, with soft light filtering through a window, casting gentle shadows across his thoughtful face. He possesses a sturdy build and an aura of patient persistence. - Thomas Edison: A man in his early 30s with a rumpled, energetic appearance. He has intense, piercing blue eyes and a slightly furrowed brow of concentration. His dark hair is messy, as if he hasn't slept in days. He is set within the cluttered chaos of the Menlo Park laboratory, surrounded by wire coils and glass jars. The lighting is a dramatic high-contrast orange glow from a nearby filament, emphasizing his sharp cheekbones and the grit of industrial labor on his face.
