YouTube thumbnail, 16:9, one single photorealistic high-key photograph, BRIGHT daylight: an outdoor film set on white snow under a pale bright sky. A row of three canvas director's chairs, each occupied by a different sleek humanoid AI robot director with glowing eyes and a distinct role prop: one with a black beret and megaphone, one with a viewfinder around its neck, one with a script. The chair backs are blank. Standing at the right, the man from reference image 1 (same face, curly dark hair, short beard, dark olive-green overshirt over black t-shirt, open dark parka) spreads his hands in a proud "look at my crew" gesture, big grin at the camera. Far background: the giant firebird from reference image 2 with burning wings in the snow, small but visible. Top, huge bold extra-heavy text: "I HIRED" in solid black and "AI DIRECTORS" in bright yellow with a thick black outline. Only these words. Very bright exposure, crisp, vivid, professional YouTube thumbnail.
