Example result for the prompt: Dust storm approaching

The prompt

Image (Flow, Image, Nano Banana 2.1 or Pro, 16:9):
Extreme wide shot, 24mm lens. A towering wall of brown dust rolls across a flat desert towards a small mud-brick village, the sky turning amber and dark above it, the sun a pale disc, people tiny in the distance hurrying inside. Photographic still from a live-action film, warm sand and rust colours with deep blue shadows, natural skin texture, shot on a digital cinema camera, subtle 35mm film grain, restrained natural colour grade, widescreen 16:9. No text, no letters, no captions, no watermark.

Video (Flow, Video, Frames, Veo 3.1 Lite for drafts or Veo 3.1 Fast for the final, 16:9, 8 s, start frame = the still above):
Single continuous shot, static camera. The dust wall advances steadily and swallows the far edge of the village; the light dims. Ambient noise: a deep rising wind roar. No music. Single continuous shot, no cuts. (no subtitles) Clean frame with no on-screen text.

What to swap for your story

  • mud-brick village -> a farmhouse, a camp, a road
  • dust -> snow squall, sea fog
