}Generate with this prompt →Scale comes from stacking light sources — the sweeping beam, moonlight through cloud, and foam catching both. A 24mm wide-angle with a push-in 'from the sea' puts the viewer in the water looking up, which is what makes the cliff feel enormous. Keep the negative prompt strict on 'people, boats' so the model doesn't populate the frame and shrink the sense of isolation.
Paste the JSON straight into Veo 3 or 3.1, or hit Copy as prose for the flattened sentence version — both work, JSON just keeps the fields easy to tweak. To change the look, re-roll one field at a time (swap the camera_motion or lighting and keep everything else fixed). Want a different subject in the same style? Open it in the Veo 3 prompt generator and edit the fields.
