Locked-off wide shot from a high vantage point overlooking a dense city. Time-lapse: morning light sweeps across the skyline, shadows rotate, clouds roll through in fast motion, afternoon haze settles, and then the city lights ignite one cluster at a time as dusk falls. Final ten seconds slow to real time: the fully lit city at night, a helicopter tracking slowly across frame. Subtle ambient city drone on the soundtrack. No cuts. One continuous locked shot.
