The prompt

Scene paragraph A winding road through red desert canyons on a hot afternoon, photoreal road movie. A rusty orange vintage camper van drives along the road; at the wheel is a woman in her sixties with silver hair, sunglasses and a denim shirt. Towering red rock walls, blue sky, dust in the air. Live-action footage shot on 35mm film, real people, natural skin and textures.

High aerial helicopter shot flying a broad, steady path alongside the canyon from the first second. 0–2s: the van is a small orange shape on the winding road far below. 2–4s: the helicopter flies parallel to the road. 4–6s: the canyon unrolls beneath, mesas and a thin river passing. 6–8s: the road leads toward a distant town on the horizon as the shot holds wide and stable. Throughout: high, steady flight, one continuous take.
