“A lightning storm over a desert at night”

The short prompt, expanded into a shot description (look, camera, timeline, sound) before rendering. Closed models expand prompts themselves, so they get the short one.

Cinematic night photography, anamorphic lens with soft bloom, deep indigo and bruised violet sky, cold silver lightning against warm ochre sand, high contrast, moody and dramatic. The scene: a wide, flat desert plain stretches to the horizon under a vast, low-hanging storm front. Dark clouds churn and boil overhead, their undersides lit from within by flickering electrical glow. Sand dunes ripple in pale moonlight, dotted with dry scrub and a few weathered rock formations. Wind lifts thin streams of dust across the ground. Far off, a single bolt of lightning forks down and strikes the distant ridge. Camera: wide establishing shot at ground level, locked-off at first, then a slow, subtle push-in toward the horizon as the storm brightens. Timeline: [0s-1.5s] Dark, still desert under heavy clouds; faint flicker deep inside the storm. [1.5s-3s] A branching bolt cracks down to the far ridge, briefly illuminating the entire landscape in white-blue light. [3s-4.2s] Afterglow fades; dust drifts across the dunes as the camera slowly pushes in. [4.2s-5s] Another distant flash pulses through the clouds, leaving the scene in deep night. Audio: low rolling wind over sand, distant thunder rumbling and building, sharp crack of lightning, faint crackle of electrical air. Realistic natural detail, consistent landscape throughout, no text or subtitles.
