Generate an aerial photo of your location with Nano Banana 2 (16:9, photorealistic, golden hour). Real places work: name the actual landmarks in the prompt so the model gets them right.
Draw a red line with arrows over the image: where the drone starts, what it loops around, where it exits. Any editor works, even by hand.
Loops around landmarks and a low start over water read the most cinematic.
Feed BOTH images (clean + annotated) into Seedance 2.0 reference-to-video with a prompt that tells it to follow the red path and erase it, audio ON for real wind and city sound. It erases the red line and flies the route with real drone physics.
On the first try the model drifted to a more famous city on the same river and rendered Budapest instead of Bratislava. Fix: pass the clean still as a second reference, describe each real landmark, and add "do not invent landmarks that are not in the reference image".
This guide is the full process. The ready-made version lives inside AI Creative OS on Skool, next to every other prompt pack I post.
