One Minute Before the Meteor

Create a tense cinematic countdown for TikTok and YouTube Shorts: a small-town mechanic races through a quiet desert motel parking lot, trying to return a lost cassette tape before a meteor strikes in exactly one minute. Begin with a fast 24mm handheld tracking shot beside his truck, headlights slicing through blue pre-dawn fog. Cut to 50mm inserts of the ticking dashboard clock, dusty fingers, and the cassette spinning in a portable player. The sky shifts from lavender to fiery orange as a massive meteor appears behind distant mesas. Use hard side light, long shadows, practical sparks, realistic dust, escalating percussion, and a final slow-motion handoff just before the white flash.
