Prompt

A breathtaking cinematic sequence showcasing an epic fantasy world. A massive dragon with iridescent scales soars through stormy golden clouds, lightning crackling around its wings. The camera sweeps dramatically from a sweeping aerial shot over a glowing ancient city carved into a mountain cliff, waterfalls cascading into a glowing abyss below. Slow motion embers and sparks drift through the air. Ultra-detailed, volumetric lighting, 8K quality, cinematic color grading.

We are witnessing a massive shift in generative video. Seedance just set the new gold standard. ๐Ÿš€
