The prompt

A night bus crosses the city with six passengers aboard and the ceiling lights off; a man in a beanie rests his temple on the cold window while a woman behind him sleeps under a scarf. The camera creeps forward down the aisle at headrest height, drifting past shoulders and stopping behind his seat. Street lamps strobe through the windows in even amber pulses, lighting each face for a moment and dropping it back into blue. 35mm, deep shadows. Audio: engine hum, indicator tick, brake hiss.

Why it works

Eight seconds suits a slow aisle creep because the motion is small and continuous, so passengers only need micro-actions rather than acting. The strobing lamps are the effect: they mark time, light one face at a time and let the rest of the bus stay dark. Keeping the ceiling lights off is what makes those pulses visible at all.

Mode

Most cases are text-to-video and need nothing but the prompt. The ones marked "needs one reference image" are image-to-video: you supply a photo and the prompt keeps that subject or product locked while the camera moves.
