The prompt

A weathered old lighthouse keeper stands on a foggy cliff at night, wearing a thick wool coat, holding an old brass lantern. Below him, the ocean waves glow with soft bioluminescent blue light with each crash against the rocks. As he raises the lantern, dozens of floating glowing orbs (like fireflies) rise up from the water and drift past him into the misty air, swirling gently around his figure. Volumetric moonlight beams cut through the fog. Camera starts wide on the cliff, then does a slow cinematic push-in toward the keeper's face as the orbs surround him, ending on a close-up with orbs reflecting in his eyes. Teal and warm-amber color grade, hyper-realistic textures, shallow depth of field, film grain, atmospheric fog, 15 seconds, smooth continuous camera motion, no cuts.
