[CINEMATIC SETUP] Cinematic widescreen format referencing Denis Villeneuve's Dune visual language. Shot on anamorphic lenses — extreme depth of field, lens flares, heat distortion rippling above sand. Color grade: Bleached amber, blinding white sand highlights, deep shadow contrast. Audio: Sand buggy engines screaming over dunes, then a growing subsonic earth-trembling vibration as Shai-Hulud approaches. [PILOT DESCRIPTION — ANATOMY CRITICAL] The pilot is a bald man with a grey beard, athletic build, wearing a Fremen stillsuit — the traditional layered desert garment of Arrakis inhabitants as seen in Villeneuve's Dune: fitted, muted sand-tones, body-wrapping tubes and straps. This description is fixed and must not change across all shots. [VEHICLE — ANATOMY CRITICAL] Open-cockpit sand buggy: low-profile, rugged, six-wheeled desert racing vehicle in the utilitarian aesthetic of Villeneuve's Dune. Wheels on sand at all times until the crash. No hover. No flight. [WORM — ANATOMY CRITICAL] Shai-Hulud: colossal sandworm, hundreds of meters long, circular segmented maw ringed with exactly four rows of teeth — no more, no less. Ancient, geological in scale, erupting from sand with explosive force. [TIMELINE SECOND BY SECOND] 0–2s: [Wide tracking shot] Arrakis desert at high noon. The buggy race is already underway — several buggies deep into the course, engines screaming, throwing twin arcs of fine orange sand as they crest dune ridges. Heat distortion shimmers across the frame. 2–5s: [Aerial drone, high angle] The lead buggy — driven by the bald, grey-bearded pilot in Fremen stillsuit — pulls away from the pack on a steep dune descent, wheels barely gripping the shifting sand. 5–9s: [Ground-level tracking shot] The sand ahead begins to ripple and heave. A rhythmic percussive vibration shakes the camera. The pilot grips the wheel, scanning the dune surface — his expression shifts from focus to primal recognition of what is coming. 9–15s: [Wide shot — FINAL FRAME — 6 seconds] The sand erupts at the edge of the buggy's path. Shai-Hulud rises — circular maw open, exactly four rows of teeth, wide enough to swallow the vehicle whole. The rim of the worm's jaw catches the side of the buggy, launching it and the pilot into the air directly above the open maw. Mid-flight — suspended above the abyss — the bald, grey-bearded pilot pushes off hard from the buggy frame with both feet, twisting his body outward. He clears the edge of Shai-Hulud's jaw in a single leap, arcing over the ring of teeth. Hard cut to black at the apex of his jump.
