A single key frame from a modern premium 2D hand-drawn animated film, in the exact drawing style of the reference images: bold simple graphic shapes, big solid flat colour masses, fine ink lines, flat gouache texture. Image 1 is the location, seen exactly as in image 1: the whole pale stone townhouse front with the closed black door, wall lantern, bench under the window and small tree in the planter. Image 2 shows the man; here he is the fourth, very old version. Image 3 shows the three neighbours. Wide 16:9, the same wide view as image 1, a snowy winter night, deep snow piled everywhere, snow still falling, the lantern glowing. Everyone has grown absurdly old while waiting: on the bench sits the very old man with snow-white hair and a white beard so long it reaches his knees, his closed black umbrella beside him; next to him the old lady, now ancient and tiny, white-haired; on his other side the little girl, now a tiny wrinkled granny with white hair, still in her mustard-yellow coat and beret; the street sweeper stands beside the bench leaning on his broom, his walrus moustache and beard snow-white and down to his knees, his fur hat on. Next to the planter stands a snowman that also has a long beard of icicles. All of them sit patiently with snow on their heads and shoulders, looking at the closed door. Each person has exactly two arms and two hands. No text, no letters.
