Day One: Coffee Shop Founder Grind

Documentary-style handheld follow shot, 24mm lens, shoulder-mounted energy, trailing a young founder unlocking her tiny Austin coffee shop at 5 AM. Cool blue pre-dawn light shifts to warm amber as she flips the sign, pulls espresso shots with steam bursting in backlit slow motion, and sketches a logo on a napkin. Jump-cut rhythm implied through motion: inventory boxes, a first customer high-five, a cash drawer cha-ching. Natural window light, grainy film texture, muted indie-film palette with pops of neon sign pink. Ends on her smiling at the camera, sales tablet showing $1,250 for the day. Authentic, gritty, inspiring creator-culture vibe.
