Create a 9:16 vertical cinematic reference grid for a MINIMAX psychological horror detective music video, arranged as 6 connected storyboard panels that all belong to the same visual universe. STYLE LOCK: American underground comics, 1990s psychological crime-thriller posters, photocopied police evidence folders, punk gig prints, distressed screen printing, noir graphic novels, alternative-rock album artwork. COLOR PALETTE ONLY: deep black, dirty beige, blood red, cobalt blue. Heavy black negative space, hard silhouettes, brutal contrast, halftone dots, paper grain, photocopy dirt, ink scratches, rough print wear, distressed edges, slight color misregistration. CHARACTER LOCK Same detective in every relevant panel: Tall lean male detective, long black trench coat, white shirt, loosened blood-red tie, dark trousers, black leather gloves, sharp noir silhouette. Keep the same proportions, clothing and identity. Mostly back view, distant silhouette, partial profile, hand close-ups. No clean frontal portrait. --- PANEL 1 - CASE 017 Extreme close-up of a black-gloved hand holding a distressed crime-scene photograph. Huge beige typography: MINIMAX smaller stamped text: CASE 017 A single blood-red fingerprint overlaps the photograph. Inside the photo is a long impossible corridor with red doors. Macro framing, aggressive crop. --- PANEL 2 - SHE NEVER LEFT Extreme low-angle view inside a monumental detective-horror corridor. Towering dirty-beige walls, huge blood-red doorframes, black ceiling void, narrow cobalt-blue sky cracks. The detective walks away from camera as a tiny silhouette. Gigantic condensed beige text behaves like architecture: SHE NEVER LEFT Letters tower beside him like columns. --- PANEL 3 - FOLLOW THE BLOOD Top-down graphic composition. Black floor covered with a trail of isolated blood-red footprints leading toward impossible perspective. The detective appears tiny at the far end. Huge distressed beige text under the footprints: FOLLOW THE BLOOD Some footprints physically cover portions of the letters. Very graphic, almost poster-like. --- PANEL 4 - DON鈥橳 LOOK BACK A tiny beige door floating alone inside enormous black negative space. The detective stands before it, seen from behind. Blood-red rectangular geometry frames the void. Huge vertical beige typography: DON鈥橳 LOOK BACK Typography partially hidden behind the door. Deep oppressive perspective. --- PANEL 5 - THE EYE Extreme close-up of a disturbing illustrated human eye rendered like an underground comic print. Black sclera, tiny blood-red iris, rough beige skin texture, cobalt-blue micro highlights. Inside the pupil is the tiny reflected silhouette of the detective. Halftone dots, ink scratches, damaged photocopy texture. No gore. --- PANEL 6 - THE CASE IS WATCHING YOU Pure black scene. Only the detective鈥檚 gloved hands and flashlight are visible. A diagonal flashlight beam reveals gigantic distressed beige text: THE CASE IS WATCHING YOU The rest of the typography disappears into darkness. Fragments of blood-red corridor geometry and cobalt-blue space barely visible behind the letters. --- GRID COMPOSITION Make all six panels visually distinct but strongly consistent. The grid should feel like a professional film reference sheet / visual development board, not six random illustrations. Keep the typography large and integrated into architecture. No normal subtitles. No generic cyberpunk. No glossy 3D. No anime. No rainbow neon. No soft gradients. No realistic gore. No extra characters. Make the overall grid feel like a lost 1990s detective-horror title sequence designed by an underground comic artist for MINIMAX. Ultra-detailed print texture, cinematic framing, graphic composition, strong vertical perspective, high-end art direction.
