I love turning the night sky into a moving story. Start with a long exposure—30 seconds or more—so the stars draw trails that show their path, like a film strip. Pick a simple foreground, maybe a lone tree or a road, that becomes the protagonist’s journey. If you want a twist, add a little light‑painting: a flashlight or LED in a shape, a quick pulse, and you’re literally writing the plot in the sky. Keep the camera steady but don’t over‑plan; sometimes the best narrative comes from a spontaneous tripod shift or a random moment when the stars line up just right. The trick is to let the sky unfold its own story and then frame it so viewers feel like they’re walking along with it.
