Picking the Right Vehicle
The vehicle changes more than the framing — it sets the pacing and mood. Cars keep the destination close and intimate, good for cozy or eerie scenes. Planes push it distant and dreamlike, best for grand or otherworldly places. Trains add a steady horizontal glide suited to sprawling skylines. Buses sit in between, useful for daytime, ground-level towns.
Start with any prompt above, then swap the destination details — architecture style, lighting, weather — while keeping the same structure: [vehicle viewpoint], [destination], [time of day], [mood/lighting details].
