Fishing boat beneath a rogue wave
A storm-at-sea sequence that builds from an exposed deck view to a towering wave lit by lightning.
Production prompt
Create a cinematic night storm at sea around a weathered fishing boat. Open from the pitching bow as hard rain crosses the lens and lightning reveals rough water, then cut wide to keep the small vessel readable against the dark ocean. A single enormous rogue wave rises behind the boat and curls higher while the hull fights the swell. Preserve the boat shape, mast, deck lights and scale in every shot. Use physically believable water weight, spray, wind-driven rain, cold blue-gray color, thunder, engine strain and deep ocean impact. Avoid duplicated boats, rubbery water, changing hull geometry, floating deck equipment or an instant wave collision.
