# Future Funk carries the structure. Staged Photography appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Future Funk (Style, 2010s) and its accent from Staged Photography (Technique, 19th century– / 1970s revival). Structural cues: 80s anime; City pop; Vivid night views; Rapid collage. Accent cues, used sparingly: Constructed scenes; Props; Cinematic lighting; Deliberate artificiality. Composition: Layer figures, city and type rhythmically. Type and lettering: Bold Japanese gothic plus Latin script accents. Let one material quality come from the second style: Built sets or models, cinematic lighting, large format shot and printed big. Mood: Exhilaration, Play, Nostalgia, Rebellion, Luxury. Color: build on #24388f, #f04c9c, #ffd33d with a single accent drawn from #e4ddd2, #92705e, #2c2623. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Roughly 1991 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Future Funk: Avoid unlicensed anime frames and surface-level consumption of the culture; clear the rights.
# - Staged Photography: Staging that only imitates a natural record leaves the assumption that photographs record reality untouched, and the whole reason for constructing the scene disappears.
