The same cramped robotics lab as in the reference frames, recreated as one clean wide establishing photograph, EMPTY: no people, no android head, no characters at all.
Keep exactly: the long cluttered workbench with soldering station, ribbon cables, oscilloscopes, circuit boards, takeaway coffee cups; the black metal test stand standing empty on the bench (the place where the android head is mounted); two or three monitors with green terminal logs; a large whiteboard with handwritten equations; articulated desk lamps; shelves with parts; a wooden stool and an office chair at the bench. Night: cold fluorescent tube light overhead mixed with the warm pool of a desk lamp on the bench, deep natural shadows in the corners.
Camera: wide static shot at seated eye level from the side of the bench, 28mm lens, natural film grain, muted restrained arthouse color palette, unretouched documentary realism. Avoid: CGI look, clean showroom, people, faces, text overlays.
