Saffron Cliff Drop
Concept
Camera on a charcoal plastic cliff lip looking out and slightly down into a vast saffron-amber fog abyss; distant cyan glass needle pylons poke through the fog; small chrome tetrahedron on the lip for scale; magenta-to-indigo sky band.
Why this way
Yesterday enclosed the camera in Amber Mouth Cavern. Prior days rode floating archipelago, lime prism corridor, cobalt ring procession, twin-horizon gate, and worm's-eye violet overhang. Today stands on a precipice looking into a fog drop — open cliff depth, not enclosed chamber, island chain, corridor tube, ring curve, dual waterline, or undershot vault.
Judgment
Kept attempt 1. Period plastic cliff with hard speculars, glass translucency on distant needles, chrome tetra scale prop, clear cliff-edge-into-fog layout; not photoreal; not a lone-prop-on-mesa beat. Open fog right for icons. No redo.
