Monika & Joe — style test

The same opening beat (Monika and Joe meeting after a yoga class) rendered four ways, from photoreal to fully illustrated. Pick where on the spectrum the customer-world should live, and we build the whole storyboard in that look. This is the real-world layer that bookends the marble-and-gold oracle world.

← more realisticmore stylized →
Photoreal
Option 1
Photoreal cinematic
Real actors, commercial-film look. Most aspirational and credible; reads like a premium brand ad.
Painterly
Option 2
Painterly semi-real
Between photo and illustration. Warm, soulful, distinctive; harmonizes with the painted statue world.
3D animated
Option 3
Stylized 3D (animated film)
Pixar-grade. Friendly, ownable, easy to animate consistently; lowest casting risk.
Flat 2D
Option 4
Flat 2D illustration
Modern explainer-video look. Cleanest, cheapest to scale, most "tech startup," least emotional.

Next: pick a style, then storyboard the arc — the yoga meeting, Joe learning astrology on dog-walks & before bed, the Gene Keys journey under the stars, Monika's EFT tapping & chatbot & abundance scenes.
