   "Low-light movie set" theme: cool cinema black, set-light blue accent,
   pale storyboard panels pinned to a dark production wall. Oswald poster
   titles, Source Sans body, Courier Prime call-sheet labels. Section breaks
   are screenplay "CUT TO:" rules; the disciplines ticker sits under the hero.
