A Storm Chases the Prairie

Produce a dramatic vertical nature film on the Great Plains during a summer storm. Tall golden grass ripples in powerful waves as a dark shelf cloud rolls across the horizon, followed by a sudden curtain of rain and a brief rainbow. Start with a low 24mm lens moving through the grass, cut to a slow 70mm push-in on distant lightning, then rise into a stabilized drone reveal of the entire prairie. Use high-contrast late-afternoon light, rich amber and slate-blue color grading, realistic wind and rain, and no exaggerated destruction. Finish with sunlight breaking through the clouds for a satisfying emotional payoff.
