What you will get

A night aerial view of an erupting volcano with glowing lava rivers, fountains of molten rock, embers rising into a starry sky, an ash cloud lit from below and a slow orbit around the crater.

Why it works

Lava at night is about glow against darkness, so the prompt asks for orange rivers, embers rising into stars and an ash cloud lit from below. Circling the crater slowly from a safe distance looks like real aerial footage, and the tip is right that slow orbits read as more believable than fast fly-throughs. A red and black palette and a deep rumble carry the drama, and asking for documentary quality keeps the effects from looking like a game.

Common mistake

The camera flies too close.

Fix: Keep “from a safe distance” and a slow orbit, as the tip says.

Also watch for
  • The lava looks like water. Ask for thick, slow lava with a dark crust cracking.
  • The sky is too bright. Ask for a dark starry sky with the glow only near the crater.
Try a variation: lava meets sea

Ask for lava flowing into the ocean at night with steam clouds rising.
