The brief

Two people, one table, one lie exposed in two lines of dialogue. A lip-sync test: two short quoted lines, one speaker each. A surveillance camera in the corner of the room stands in for any evidence, so no image or text needs rendering.

Visual style

Neo-noir crime drama, 35mm film look, deep shadows. Single warm overhead lamp, hard top light, falloff to black at the edges.
