Lightning Strike Afterglow Veo 3.1 Prompt
A single locked-off vertical cinematic shot from inside a dark rural gas station forecourt at blue-black dusk. A dry thunderstorm rolls beyond a distant grain elevator. At 2.0 seconds, one forked lightning strike hits the ground behind the elevator and turns the entire frame stark white for exactly one frame; exposure snaps back to deep cobalt, then a violet afterglow travels through the low clouds for two seconds. Wet asphalt mirrors the flash. No rain curtain, no people, no text, no camera move. Native audio: a low wind bed, one sharp thunder crack exactly 0.8 seconds after the flash, then a fading electrical hum. Photorealistic, restrained contrast, realistic lightning physics.
