   Vertical 9:16 video, 6 seconds, photorealistic, shot as a real dashcam
   recording from inside a car on a multi-lane city highway. Fixed
   windshield-level camera, only a strip of the car bonnet visible at the
   bottom of the frame. Overcast, dramatic cloudy sky, soft diffused
   daylight, slightly muted colours, natural dashcam compression and mild
   motion blur. [SKYLINE] sits in the distance behind a concrete barrier.
   A beige taxi is in the left lane.
   
   SUBJECT: A white/cream box truck with a canvas-covered cargo bed printed
   with "YOUR BUSINESS" in bold dark type is tipping dangerously over on
   its two left wheels, tilted about 45 degrees, driving ahead of the
   camera and about to fall.
   
   ACTION (timed):
   0.0-1.8s: The tilted white truck drifts ahead, wobbling, wheels barely
   holding the road. Traffic flows normally around it.
   1.8-2.6s: A large dark grey box truck appears at the right edge of
   frame, overtaking in the next lane. We see its LEFT SIDE PANEL first,
   showing the [LOGO] and the name "[BRAND NAME]" on the panel, then its
   rear doors as it pulls ahead.
   2.6-3.6s: The grey truck steadies beside the tilting white truck and
   pushes it upright with its side.
   3.6-4.4s: The white truck rocks back onto all four wheels and
   stabilises.
   4.4-6.0s: Both trucks drive side by side away from the camera. The
   camera holds steady and settles on the grey truck's REAR DOORS,
   centered and clearly readable.
   
   BRANDING (critical): On the grey truck's rear double doors, centered
   horizontally, print the [LOGO] in [BRAND COLOR], about 45% of the door
   width, with the text "[BRAND NAME]" in two lines below it. Line 1 is
   larger, line 2 is smaller, in wide-tracked uppercase geometric
   sans-serif, in [TEXT COLOR]. The graphic sits flat on the door panel,
   following its perspective, with the door seams and hinges visible
   through it like real vinyl. The same logo appears smaller on the
   truck's side panel. The logo and text stay perfectly stable, sharp and
   unchanged for the whole video, and they never morph, flicker or change
   spelling.
   
   Truck detail: matte dark grey paint, slightly dusty, red tail lights,
   generic number plate, metal door hinges and vertical locking bars.
   
   AUDIO: ambient highway road noise, wind, a heavy diesel engine passing,
   tyre rumble. No music, no voiceover.

3. Replace each blank in square brackets with your answers from Step 1.

4. Add the negative prompt. If Flow has no negative prompt field, paste it at the end of the prompt on a new line that starts with Avoid:
