Generate a captivating 7-second cinematic video showcasing a synthwave cityscape. The camera executes a slow, smooth tracking shot from a low angle, gliding through the futuristic streets of [CITY_NAME, e.g., 'Neo-Miami'] at [TIME_OF_DAY, e.g., 'dusk']. The scene features towering skyscrapers adorned with pulsating neon lights in vibrant shades of fuchsia, electric blue, and glowing amber. Retro-futuristic flying cars with sleek designs cruise effortlessly through the sky, leaving iridescent trails. The ground below is slick with rain, reflecting the mesmerizing neon glow, and features a [VEHICLE_TYPE, e.g., 'chrome-plated sports car'] driving slowly into the frame, its taillights leaving a light streak. Lighting is intensely dramatic, dominated by practical neon sources within the scene, creating strong reflections and deep, atmospheric shadows. Volumetric fog subtly drifts between buildings, enhancing the depth and ethereal quality. The overall aesthetic is heavily inspired by 1980s retro-futurism, evoking films like 'Blade Runner', 'Drive', and the artwork of 'Roger Dean' blended with 'Simon Stålenhag' for a unique, painterly realism. This is a 4K 'pro' quality video, shot with the simulated look of a Panavision anamorphic lens on a Red Komodo camera, featuring a wide aspect ratio (2.39:1) to enhance the cinematic feel. The lens flare should be horizontal, characteristic of anamorphic glass. The atmosphere should be [EMOTIONAL_TONE, e.g., 'melancholic, cool, and undeniably stylish'], encapsulating a sense of nostalgic longing for a future that never was. The color grading leans heavily into magenta and teal tones, with deep blacks and high contrast.
Customizable variables: [CITY_NAME], [TIME_OF_DAY], [VEHICLE_TYPE], [EMOTIONAL_TONE]
