Monon Greenway · Carmel

Blue hour & sunrise Morning, raking east light Midday, shade only Afternoon, interiors & details Low sun in the west

Vertical scale is true to distance. Stop 1 to Stop 7 is roughly half a mile, all walkable. The whole Monon run north of the Palladium fits inside one mile.

Monday Aug 24 · the 13-hour day

6:30 – 8:15 AM · 1h 45m

The Palladium & Carter Green

1 Carter Green, Carmel, IN 46032 · park at Center Parking Garage, 4 Carter Green

Blue hour 6:36 → sunrise 7:05 → golden light until 7:40. Crew only — no talent on the clock.

Moments

• Empty plaza in blue hour, the building lit from within before the sky catches up
• First light striking the limestone colonnade on the east face, shot from the northeast
• The jazz band statues alone in first light, slow push through the group
• Light drone passes — the dome, Carter Green, the corridor waking up
• Wide establishing pull as the first cars turn onto City Center Drive
• +
• +

The east face is the money shot and it only works in this window. Everything on the ground here goes flat by 8:30. In the edit, this sweep sets the stage — then cuts straight to her run.

MOVE

8:15 – 8:45 AM · walk east to the Monon, about 4 minutes; the 30-minute window covers load-out, the walk, and setup at the tunnel.

8:45 – 9:15 AM · 30m

Monon at City Center Drive

Pedestrian tunnel and trail crossing, just east of the Palladium

Low east sun raking straight down the trail

Moments

• The Monon runs true north to south, so the low sun rakes across it and every cyclist gets a rim light
• Katie arrives 9:00 camera-ready — warm-up and first positions; her run starts at 9:15
• Dog walkers, the pet water fountain, leash and paws detail
• The Carmel High School painted tunnel mural, silhouette walking through into light
• Locked-off long lens down the trail, compression, layers of people

9:15 – 10:00 AM · 45m

The run · Carter Green north to the crossover

Starts at the Palladium statues, travels north up the Monon — the camera moves with her

9:15 sun is still low enough for a soft rake — the last workable window for a morning look. 45 minutes buys a real take per setup instead of one pass each.

Moments

• She starts past the jazz band statues at the Palladium corner
• The lone-runner wide across Carter Green
• Rim-lit pass down the straight stretch of trail
• Silhouette through the painted tunnel, mid-run
• Ends at 10:00 sharp, arriving on the couple’s table at Midtown

Frames

Lone female runner in athletic wear crossing an empty civic green at blue hour, grand limestone concert hall glowing from within behind her, first orange light striking the east colonnade. Hand-drawn storyboard sketch, loose confident pencil linework, warm sepia and amber wash, soft golden cinematic light, minimal background detail, square 1:1 frame — match the Icon on Main storyboard style.

Life-size jazz band sculpture group on a low plinth at the concert hall corner — seated drummer, trumpet and trombone players, upright bass, pianist at an upright piano — young woman jogging past in athletic wear, first orange light raking the limestone. Hand-drawn storyboard sketch, loose confident pencil linework, warm sepia and amber wash, soft golden cinematic light, minimal background detail, square 1:1 frame — match the Icon on Main storyboard style.

Young woman running south on a straight tree-lined greenway, low morning sun raking across the trail, rim light on her hair and shoulders, long shadow across the path. Hand-drawn storyboard sketch, loose confident pencil linework, warm sepia and amber wash, soft golden cinematic light, minimal background detail, square 1:1 frame — match the Icon on Main storyboard style.

Silhouette of a young woman mid-run passing through a painted pedestrian tunnel toward bright morning light, backlit running form, greenway trail beyond. Hand-drawn storyboard sketch, loose confident pencil linework, warm sepia and amber wash, soft golden cinematic light, minimal background detail, square 1:1 frame — match the Icon on Main storyboard style.

The sunrise sweep sets the stage; the edit cuts from it straight into this run. Doubling as the move north — the crew travels with her and lands at Midtown for the crossover.

10:00 – 11:15 AM · 1h 15m

Midtown Plaza & Monon Boulevard

Crossover 1 of 310:00 sharp — Suzanne & Dion settled at a trailside table with prop coffees; Katie’s run ends passing their table, Dion raises his cup.

365 Monon Blvd, Carmel, IN 46032

Clean morning sun, plaza still shaded on the west side

Moments

• Ping pong, bocce, cornhole, all free and all public
• Coffee at a community table, laptop open, someone working outdoors
• Public art installations and the big screen, wide plaza establishing shot
• Trail threading between buildings — saved for the dedicated 3:00 drone block

Crossover 1

Young professional woman in business casual working on a laptop at a plaza community table, coffee beside her, morning sun, modern mixed-use buildings and shade umbrellas behind. Hand-drawn storyboard sketch, loose confident pencil linework, warm sepia and amber wash, soft golden cinematic light, minimal background detail, square 1:1 frame — match the Icon on Main storyboard style.

Spray plaza runs 9 AM to 8 PM through Sept 30, so it is live both days. Worth having a family on standby here rather than hoping.

LUNCH

11:15 AM – 12:00 PM · catered at Midtown Plaza — pulled forward so the noon coffee window lands clean. Card offload and battery swap run through it; Prufrock staging takes the last 15 minutes, a two-minute walk across the plaza.

12:00 – 1:30 PM · 1h 30m

Prufrock Coffee

275 Veterans Wy Suite 120, Carmel, IN 46032 · east side of the Monon, even with Midtown Plaza

Interior, fully controlled. Weather-proof block. Two levels — airy upstairs, book-lined lounge below.

Moments

• Macro on the espresso pull, crema forming, steam off the wand
• Latte art poured, top-down, single take
• Pastry case glass, hands pointing, the small ritual of ordering
• The hand-off across the counter, a regular greeted by name
• Storefront exterior off the trail, someone walking out with a go-cup toward the Monon

Per your note, details over the shop itself. Noon at a coffee shop is peak — confirm with Prufrock how the 12:00 window runs on a Monday. A rush looks better; a lull is easier to control.

MOVE

1:30 – 1:45 PM · north on the Monon to the Main St crossing; window covers reset before the combined block.

1:45 – 2:45 PM · 1h

Main Street & the canopy stretch

Monon access point — 210 W Main St, Carmel, IN 46032; the wooded canopy just north

Open crossing first, then into the shade of the canopy as the light gets harshest

Moments

• The crossing itself, trail meeting Main Street, people flowing both directions
• Gallery windows, sculpture, the district's brick and awnings
• Monon & Main balconies, residents stepping out onto the trail from their front door
• Bikes leaned on racks outside the shops
• Patios beginning to fill for lunch
• Suzanne & Dion riding side by side through the tree tunnel, dappled light moving across them
• Slow push alongside the ride — spokes, pedals, backlit leaves

Frames

Busy greenway crossing at a small-town main street, cyclists and walkers flowing in both directions, brick storefronts, awnings and gallery windows, late-morning light. Hand-drawn storyboard sketch, loose confident pencil linework, warm sepia and amber wash, soft golden cinematic light, minimal background detail, square 1:1 frame — match the Icon on Main storyboard style.

Older couple riding bicycles side by side through a covered green tree tunnel on a paved greenway, dense canopy arching overhead, dappled sunlight across the path, both relaxed and smiling mid-conversation. Hand-drawn storyboard sketch, loose confident pencil linework, warm sepia and amber wash, soft golden cinematic light, minimal background detail, square 1:1 frame — match the Icon on Main storyboard style.

One combined hour — the crossing and the canopy are close enough that the block walks north as it shoots. Still a good place for Jacqueline to see the trail at its busiest.

MOVE

2:45 – 3:00 PM · reposition for the drone block; talent holds.

D

3:00 – 4:00 PM · 1h

Dedicated drone block · the Monon corridor

Launch points along the trail, Midtown north to the canopy

Talent stays on — couple changes to smart casual during this hour; they’re needed at the splash pad at 4:00 and Rita’s at 5:00.

Moments

• Canopy top-down — the tree tunnel as a green ribbon with the trail threading through
• Trail threading between the Midtown buildings, the shot the plaza block couldn’t hold
• Main St crossing overhead, cyclists and walkers flowing both directions
• Water tower orbit with the Carmel lettering
• Rise-and-reveal toward the rooftop to tease the evening block
• +
• +

Replaces the old afternoon coffee slot — Prufrock now shoots at noon. Parks and the City both need drone notice; keep a spotter on the trail and stay clear of the spray plaza while kids are in it.

Splash pad · Midtown spray plaza

365 Monon Blvd · same ground as Stop 3

Late sun sparkle on the water — backlit spray reads gold by 4.

Moments

• The grandkid running the spray jets, full sprint through the water
• Daughter and grandkid in the jets together, the couple cheering from the edge
• Suzanne & Dion at the edge laughing, towel at the ready
• Low slow-motion water detail, droplets backlit
• Wide of the plaza in the first warm light of the evening

Frames

Squeezed in ahead of Rita’s — the same daughter and grandkid carry straight from the water into the custard window at 5:00, so the two blocks cut together as one family arc. The meet-up hug itself is staged in front of Rita’s.

MOVE

4:45 – 5:00 PM · van hop north to Main St; use the window to stage the Rita’s window and clear releases.

Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard

5:00 – 5:45 PM · 45m

Crossover 2 of 3The couple meets their daughter and grandkid in front of Rita’s — the hug, then custard — as Katie passes with her dog, heading up Main.

110 W Main St, Suite 127 · a few doors east of the Monon crossing

• The Italian ice case, all the colors in a row, macro on the scoop pull

Late afternoon on a small-town main street sidewalk in front of an ice-cream shop with a sidewalk ordering window and striped awning — the grandparents crouch down arms open as the young grandchild runs into their embrace, the child's mother standing just behind with a warm smile, brick storefronts and warm afternoon glow. Hand-drawn storyboard sketch, loose confident pencil linework, warm sepia and amber wash, soft golden cinematic light, minimal background detail, square 1:1 frame — match the Icon on Main storyboard style.

Crossover 2

Older couple ordering at a sidewalk ice-cream window, a frozen custard cone passed through the window, small-town main street storefronts behind, late-afternoon light. Hand-drawn storyboard sketch, loose confident pencil linework, warm sepia and amber wash, soft golden cinematic light, minimal background detail, square 1:1 frame — match the Icon on Main storyboard style.

A kid on a curb working through an oversized frozen custard swirl, bikes dropped in the grass nearby, family nearby laughing, warm afternoon glow. Hand-drawn storyboard sketch, loose confident pencil linework, warm sepia and amber wash, soft golden cinematic light, minimal background detail, square 1:1 frame — match the Icon on Main storyboard style.

This is your ice cream location. The sidewalk window is the whole beat — order from the street, no interior needed, and it is a one-minute walk off the trail at Main, so it still closes the Monon story without a real move.

MOVE

5:45 – 6:15 PM · talent changes to evening looks and meets at the PLAID office; bar staging and dressing starts the moment gear lands.

Point the bar setup west and let the sun be your key. Bring a scrim and a bounce for anything you need to shape.

WRAP

7:30 – 8:00 PM · teardown, card offload confirmed, dual backups verified before anyone leaves.

Talent & wardrobe

Three principals carry the “this is what living here looks like” thread across the day: a young professional, and an empty-nester couple. Principals are booked — Katie as the single woman, Suzanne & Dion as the couple. The 30-minute transition windows double as wardrobe changes, with the van as the changing base and both looks steamed and ready.

Wardrobe guidance across all looks: no logos, no pure white, no fine stripes or tight patterns. Earth tones and muted color sit best against the limestone, brick, and greenway palette. Each actor brings both options per look for approval on the day.

Storyboard · the :60 spot

Eleven boarded frames from the Icon on Main deck, in narrative order — the voiceover runs through them and lands on “Only one is iconic.” Frames tagged with a stop number are shot on the Monday plan; the remaining beats further down the page were generated in this same sepia-sketch style with Higgsfield, so the videographer has a visual for every beat before a single card rolls. The through-line for the longer cut: we follow both their days from sunrise to nightcap, and their paths cross exactly three times — coffee, custard, and the balcony toast — flagged as crossover banners on the stops above.
