Rain on a window at night

A quiet, moody insert for reflection scenes.

The prompt

Image (Flow, Image, Nano Banana 2.1 or Pro, 16:9):
Close-up, 85mm lens, through a window at night. Heavy raindrops run down the glass; behind it, out of focus, warm lamp light from a small room and the soft shape of a person sitting still. Cool blue night outside the glass, warm light inside. Photographic still from a live-action film, warm sand and rust colours with deep blue shadows, natural skin texture, shot on a digital cinema camera, subtle 35mm film grain, restrained natural colour grade, widescreen 16:9. No text, no letters, no captions, no watermark.

Video (Flow, Video, Frames, Veo 3.1 Lite for drafts or Veo 3.1 Fast for the final, 16:9, 6 s, start frame = the still above):
Single continuous shot, static camera. Raindrops run down the glass; the blurred figure inside does not move. Ambient noise: steady rain on glass and a roof. No music. Single continuous shot, no cuts. (no subtitles) Clean frame with no on-screen text.

What to swap for your story

  • person sitting still -> a candle, an empty chair
  • warm lamp -> fire light, screen light
