@Arcane_Aii Using the attached reference image for the character and the attached audio track for timing, generate a jazz-noir anime title sequence in a stylized pop-art style. Every cut must land exactly on a beat of the audio — treat the track as the edit timeline.

VISUAL STYLE — apply throughout:
Render characters as flat, high-contrast black silhouettes against solid single-color backgrounds (saturated red, mustard yellow, deep blue). No naturalistic shading — each shot commits to one or two dominant colors only, like a screen-printed poster.

Compose shots like comic-book panels and pulp-magazine covers: bold panel divisions splitting the frame, hard geometric shapes, dramatic off-center cropping, extreme close-ups intercut with full-body poses.

Use freeze-frames as a core device: the character hits a dynamic pose (drawing a weapon, mid-stride, lighting a cigarette, turning toward camera) and the frame HOLDS completely still for one full beat before cutting. Do not smooth or interpolate through these holds — they must be dead stops.

Title typography in mid-century Saul Bass style: stark geometric letterforms, bold sans-serif, text that slides in as flat colored bars or snaps into frame on the beat.

Overlay the entire sequence with heavy analog film grain, slight gate weave, and worn-print color texture — it should look like a scratched 35mm print of a 1960s jazz album cover, not clean digital animation.

MOTION AND EDITING:
Alternate between two modes — (1) fast kinetic bursts of motion (whip pans across silhouettes, rapid cut sequences, a silhouette sprinting across a solid color field) and (2) hard freeze-frame holds. The contrast between the two IS the rhythm. Cuts are hard cuts only: no dissolves, no fades, no morphing between shots. Each new shot snaps in on the downbeat with a fresh background color.

End on the character in silhouette, frozen mid-pose against a solid red field, with the title card snapping in beside them on the final hit of the track.
