12sGlowing Window Forest with Buried Train
A continuous cinematic shot drifts through a midnight forest where tree trunks hold thousands of tiny glowing windows that switch off one by one. The ground opens to reveal an ancient buried railway, and a driverless train with warm-lit windows glides silently through the trees before vanishing into fog.

Prompt (original, unmodified)
The camera slowly moves forward through a silent midnight forest where every tree is covered in thousands of tiny glowing windows, as if entire miniature homes exist inside their trunks. As the camera approaches, the windows gradually begin turning off one by one, revealing that the forest is slowly waking up. The ground gently separates beneath the trees, exposing an enormous ancient railway buried underground. A single empty train emerges silently from the earth, its windows glowing warmly despite having no visible driver. The train passes directly through the forest without disturbing a single tree, and as it disappears into the fog, the trees slowly close their glowing windows again. The person standing beside the railway remains completely still throughout. Smooth continuous camera movement, physically believable environmental motion, subtle wind and drifting mist, realistic lighting, cinematic moonlight, deep atmospheric shadows, photorealistic, mysterious and dreamlike, no cuts, no jumps, no sudden changes.
