Night Desert — Star Trails Over Stone Arches

16:9 video, about 15 seconds, 24fps. A desert of stone arches at midnight: the Milky Way arches overhead, the stars wheeling, the arches black cutouts against the galaxy.

0-5s: The frame opens low on the stone arches, black cutouts against the wheeling stars. The Milky Way burns overhead in a bright band, the galaxy's core glowing through the largest arch like a window onto deep space. The stars move visibly, wheeling in their slow arcs.
5-10s: The drone rises slowly, the arches framing the galaxy in sequence — each arch a new composition of stone and stars. A meteor streaks through the frame, a brief white scratch across the Milky Way, gone before the eye can follow. The star trails lengthen as the rise continues, the sky turning in its ancient rotation.
10-15s: At full height, the arches lie below like dark sculptures in a sea of stars, the Milky Way arching from horizon to horizon. The drone holds on the cosmic composition, the stone silent and ancient beneath the turning sky. A satellite crosses the Milky Way's band, a slow deliberate intruder among the old stars.

Detail: the arches' eroded sandstone texture, the Milky Way's dust lanes, the meteor's brief trail, starlight faint on the stone. Camera: slow rise with the arches framing the Milky Way, ending on the wide cosmic composition. Lighting: starlight only — low-light 4K with star detail and clean blacks. Atmosphere: cosmic, silent, ancient — the desert keeping time with the galaxy. Style: astro-landscape timelapse feel, pristine night grade, vast and still.
