Downtown Collapse Shockwave

Your collapsing block, continued: the shockwave crosses, glass bursts outward, the drone retreats.

The prompt

Grow the collapse already underway in the reference frame: same block, same camera height, same grey light. The shockwave rolls out from the far end, parked-car alarms kick on, glass bows inward and then bursts outward, and a blizzard of paper and dust crosses the empty street. The drone retreats straight back and rises slowly, keeping the avenue centred. Hazy late afternoon, dust-filtered sun, everything past the second block silhouetted.

They are the real price of that exact configuration — computed with the same pricing engine the API charges with, at the resolution, duration and audio setting shown on the card. Change any of those in the generator and the price updates with it.

Why it works

The reference frame fixes the block and the light, so the prompt only has to describe propagation: shockwave, alarms, glass, paper. It states the street is empty, which stops the model filling the frame with people and keeps the shot advertiser-safe. This is also where 480p earns its place: dust and a retreating drone hide the resolution, so it is the case to draft cheaply before spending credits on a 720p re-run.

What to put in the reference image

Upload a wide still of a city block that is already partly collapsing, shot from an elevated position, with no people in frame and no readable shopfront text. Avoid close-ups of damage and avoid any frame with crowds, because the clip will not remove what it is given.
