Wildfire Ridge Evacuation AI video prompt example

[Style] Original wilderness evacuation drama, realistic wildfire behavior, handheld urgency, orange smoke against dark green forest, emotionally grounded performances.
[Duration] 15 seconds.
[00:00-00:04] A small evacuation bus climbs a mountain road while flames move rapidly through the valley below. Burning embers fall like red snow across the windshield.
[00:04-00:08] Interior close-up. The driver notices a frightened child holding an empty pet carrier. Through the side window, a small unidentifiable animal silhouette is visible on the blocked road behind them.
[00:08-00:12] The driver brakes, turns the bus across the road as a shield, and runs into the ember storm. The camera follows at shoulder height while trees ignite in sequence.
[00:12-00:15] The driver returns carrying the animal as the fire front reaches the road. The bus door closes, tires spin, and the vehicle vanishes into smoke just before flames cross the frame.
