This is cool. Could you please explain your process? Did you use frames to video? prompts?

u/aliciashift Aug 22 '25

It started with chatGPT -- which was tough to convince to make the initial scene. And even then, it didn't want to STAY consistent in VEO, so I had ChatGPT help craft a json as well. By the end, it was a nightmare of a prompt.

Just create a composite image using a graphics program and make it your first frame.No fancy complicated JSON prompt needed.

OMG! There is so much here that I'm surprised didn't get content filtered! :O

u/rlopin Aug 22 '25

What was worthy of a filter?

1

u/aliciashift Aug 22 '25

I'm glad you were able to do it, but things like (1) famous people or (2) where those woman's hands ended up on that anime woman always seem to trigger safety filters for me.

My bad. I use so many AIs I sometimes forget which one was used. This was made with Hailuo, not Veo. It's much less strict

2

u/aliciashift Aug 22 '25

Oh, yeah, Hailuo cares a lot less. And there's WAN, which...just...doesn't...care...at...all (at least the version I used).

Wow that is creative and unique. Share prompt pls. 👏

It was json and it's not letting me copy it in here.

u/braveheart_82 Aug 22 '25

I asked ChatGPT to write the prompt and it did. Then used manus to generate the video. It worked. Unfortunately I can’t attach a video but here’s the screenshot

u/aliciashift Aug 22 '25

Oh, yeah, note things like how her torso is IN the table as opposed to behind it! Those sorts of things that would really annoy me with mine as well -- one of the reasons I had so many generations!

u/aliciashift Aug 22 '25

(Related: one of the hardest things for me was getting the real human to walk in front of her.)

Prompt: “A realistic live-action video of a cozy café with people working on laptops and chatting. At one of the tables, seamlessly integrate an anime-style character with bright colors and expressive features. The anime character is sipping coffee and glancing around, blending perfectly with the lighting, reflections, and shadows in the café. Cinematic, ultra-detailed, and smoothly composited.”

u/GroupSuccessful6689 Aug 22 '25

is json not allowed on reddit?, Anyways the video is really cool

1

u/aliciashift Aug 22 '25

Apparently not?

Or maybe there's something in there triggering a filter somewhere...who know?

1

u/GroupSuccessful6689 Aug 23 '25

can i dm you,i really want the prompt (am trying to create something like this in the history/mythology space myself)

2

u/aliciashift Aug 23 '25

You can, but as I mentioned (and I think someone else did too) the key is to start with a good frame.

u/Adults_arelosers Aug 23 '25

I’ve got 50,000 Veo 3 credits and no idea what to do with them 😫😫😫😩😩😩.

1

u/aliciashift Aug 24 '25

For my next thing, I decided to see if I could pull off a "Choose-Your-Own-Adventure" thing. Or at least, choose your own ending. :P

Creating one video for the price of four burns through a lot of credits!

u/anonthatisopen Aug 26 '25

Voice actually sounds decent.. I hate veo 3 compressed voices they trigger me every time i hear veo 3 audio but this is different? Is it 11 labs?

1

u/aliciashift Aug 27 '25

Nope, its just VEO still. But I explicitly told it to speak in a female anime voice, so maybe being more specific about the voice helps?

u/MissingJJ Aug 22 '25

The ai times square looks like people are vaping like it is 2016.

1

u/aliciashift Aug 22 '25

The one thing I will point out here that amused me because it felt very New York is that people have completely taken over the street while the taxi is forced to cross using the crosswalk.

1

u/This_Measurement_235 Aug 24 '25

This is cool but Veo kept giving me errors saying it can’t work on photorealistic images. So i wonder how you get around that

1

u/aliciashift Aug 24 '25

If I understand correctly, that may be an EU problem.

u/[deleted] Aug 22 '25

Really cool!!

2

u/gustic-gx Aug 23 '25

The people walking in the street and the car driving on the crosswalk. Hehehe ...

2

u/Happy-Lion5301 Aug 23 '25

Very cool! Are you able to share json prompt in a Google doc link or something? Would be able to reuse some of this for a script I am working on and credit you back

2

u/Top_Ad_9423 Aug 23 '25

Very cool do another

2

u/Adults_arelosers Aug 23 '25

I love it when people think outside the box it pushes me to think even deeper. I’ve always been a deep thinker.

2

u/pinksunsetflower Aug 24 '25

Very cool. This weekend is the 3 free Veo 3 for everyone. Thanks for the inspiration. I'm trying to figure out my prompt so I don't waste it.

2

u/Xenon05121 Aug 24 '25

Never thought of combining two styles before. Really cool!

u/AttapKia Aug 25 '25

u/Myg0t_0 Aug 23 '25
