Continue seamlessly from the previous map zoom animation.

The camera has already arrived above **[TARGET COUNTRY]** and remains perfectly centered on the country for the entire duration.

Do not zoom out.

Do not zoom further in.

Do not rotate the map.

Do not change the camera angle.

Maintain only an extremely slow cinematic floating drift (less than 2% movement) to keep the shot feeling alive while preserving the country’s position in the center of the frame.

The glowing outline of **[TARGET COUNTRY]** remains visible with a soft pulse every few seconds. The border emits a refined cyan-white glow (or premium gold #E0B04B) with subtle bloom and tiny traveling light particles.

Major cities gently glow with small satellite-style light points. Rivers, lakes, coastlines, and mountain ranges remain naturally visible through realistic shading and HDR lighting.

Soft cloud shadows slowly drift across the landscape while oceans shimmer with subtle sunlight reflections. A light atmospheric haze and gentle vignette create a premium documentary appearance.

The title “**[TARGET COUNTRY]**” stays visible in a clean, modern documentary font with a soft glow. The text remains stable without distracting animation.

Lighting remains consistent with realistic daylight, atmospheric scattering, and high-end Google Earth–style rendering.

The scene should feel calm, elegant, and cinematic, suitable for narration in a professional documentary.

Create a premium cinematic 10-second documentary-style map animation beginning from a high-resolution equirectangular world map.

The animation opens with the entire Earth map visible in a clean 16:9 composition. Hold this wide shot for approximately 1.5 seconds while subtle atmospheric haze, gentle cloud movement, realistic ocean shimmer, and HDR lighting create a premium documentary atmosphere. The camera remains perfectly stable.

The camera then begins a smooth satellite-style push-in toward South Asia, following a natural flight path and gradually descending toward India. The movement should feel identical to a Google Earth or National Geographic cinematic flyover, featuring seamless altitude transitions, realistic perspective changes, subtle depth of field, elegant motion blur, and smooth ease-in/ease-out interpolation.

As the camera approaches India, it gradually slows and settles into a perfectly framed aerial view of the entire country. The camera should remain slightly above the subcontinent so that India’s complete outline is clearly visible.

Immediately after the camera settles, the international borders of India are traced by an elegant animated glowing line. The outline should follow India’s complete border naturally, including the coastline along the Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean, and Bay of Bengal.

Border Animation:
• Bright cyan-white glow (or premium gold #E0B04B)
• Soft bloom and outer glow
• Tiny light particles traveling along the tracing path
• Gentle pulse after completion
• Subtle interior glow that slowly fades

As the border completes, major cities—including New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Ahmedabad—softly illuminate with elegant satellite-style light points.

At approximately 7 seconds, the title appears.
