Day-to-Night Timelapse

Create a photorealistic cinematic day-to-night timelapse, exactly 10 seconds, using the uploaded
reference image as the exact first frame.
One continuous static shot. Preserve the original composition, architecture, landscape, objects and
camera perspective throughout the video.
TIME PROGRESSION
0–2s | Daylight: Preserve the original scene in natural daylight. Subtle clouds drift across the sky.
2–4s | Golden Hour: Sunlight gradually warms into golden tones. Shadows lengthen naturally.
4–7s | Sunset & Dusk: The sky transitions smoothly through orange, pink and violet into deep blue.
Ambient daylight fades while existing lights gradually turn on.
7–10s | Nighttime: The scene becomes a realistic illuminated nighttime environment. Streetlights,
buildings and existing light sources glow naturally, with realistic reflections where applicable.
MOTION
Clouds move in accelerated timelapse. Existing people and vehicles move naturally with subtle
motion-blur trails. Environmental movement remains physically believable.
CAMERA
Completely static, locked-off tripod shot. No zoom, pan, tilt, rotation or camera movement.
VISUAL STYLE
Photorealistic cinematic timelapse photography, natural colors, realistic illumination, smooth exposure
transitions, sharp architectural details, 4K visual quality.
STRICT RULES
Preserve the exact structure and proportions of every object. No architectural distortion, added objects,
changing geometry, sudden lighting changes or flickering.
AUDIO
No dialogue, no voice-over, no background music. Natural environmental ambience only.
NEGATIVE PROMPT
Scene cuts, transitions, camera shake, zoom, flicker, warped architecture, morphing objects, unrealistic
lighting, oversaturation, artificial stars, added objects, text, subtitles, logos, watermarks.
