CCTV Security Camera Still — Sora 2 Prompt
Create authentic, grainy black-and-white surveillance footage of any subject, complete with a customizable timestamp and retro VHS artifacts.

A genuinely low-quality, grainy, black-and-white CCTV security camera still showing a argsubject: classic grey alien with a large head and skinny body standing next to a gas pump at a argsetting: deserted gas station at night. The gas pump has the word "UNLEADED" printed on the top canopy and a large number "2" on the side. In the bottom left corner, there is a digital timestamp overlay reading "argcamera label: CAM 2", "argdate: OCT 27 2004", and "12:04:16 AM" in a retro pixelated font. The overall aesthetic is authentic early-2000s surveillance footage with heavy noise, poor contrast, and VHS-style artifacts.
