What you will get

A wide, dramatic shot of a huge wall of orange dust rolling across a desert toward a lone vehicle or caravan, with dunes disappearing behind it, the sky turning amber and sand whipping across the ground.

Why it works

A sandstorm looks huge only next to something small, so the prompt places a lone vehicle or caravan in its path. The amber sky and dunes vanishing behind give a sense of time running out. A wide shot from far away, as the tip says, shows the full wall of dust.

Common mistake

The storm looks like a small cloud.

Fix: Keep the camera far away, as the tip says, and make the vehicle tiny against the wall of dust.

Also watch for
  • The dust wall does not move. Ask for the storm front rolling forward and churning, filling more of the frame by the end.
  • The light stays bright blue. Ask for the sky turning amber and dim as the storm gets closer.
Try a variation: show it from inside a car

Ask for a view from behind a windscreen as the dust arrives, wipers going and the road vanishing.

Still not right? Add this and run it again

a low howling wind growing louder as the wall of dust comes closer
