## Production brief

A cinematic historical reconstruction of Pompeii before and during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, showing Roman streets, ash clouds, fleeing citizens, and the preserved city left behind.

## Visual and editorial highlights

- Roman streets and courtyards before the eruption
- A dark Vesuvius plume rising over the city
- Ash surging through narrow stone alleys
- Preserved streets and forms left behind
