### Optimized AI Prompt Structure for Google Veo (Sci-fi Animation)
This template is designed to give you maximum control over the video generation process by breaking down the request into clear, hierarchical components. Google Veo excels at understanding cinematic language, physics, and maintaining consistency, so this structure leans heavily on those strengths.
**1. Core Concept & Shot Declaration:**
* **Purpose:** Start with a high-level summary. State the type of shot, the primary subject, and the overall mood. This acts as the foundational instruction for the AI.
* **Example:** “A cinematic, wide-angle, slow-motion tracking shot of a giant ethereal hologram performing at a futuristic space festival.”
**2. Scene & Environment (The World):**
* **Purpose:** Establish the setting with rich, sensory details. Describe the time of day, architecture, atmosphere, and background elements. The more vivid the world, the more context the AI has to build a cohesive scene.
* **Details to include:**
* **Location:** e.g., an alien metropolis, a floating platform in a nebula, a terraformed moon canyon.
* **Architecture:** e.g., bio-luminescent structures, brutalist mega-towers, crystalline spires.
* **Atmosphere:** e.g., gentle cosmic dust falling, twin moons in the sky, shimmering heat haze, low-hanging artificial clouds.
* **Crowd/Life:** Describe the audience. Are they humanoid, alien, robotic? What are they wearing? How are they interacting with the scene?
**3. Primary Subject (The Hologram):**
* **Purpose:** Detail the focal point of the video. Describe its appearance, texture, properties, and scale with extreme precision.
* **Details to include:**
* **Form & Figure:** What does it depict? A celestial being, an abstract energy form, a famous historical figure, a futuristic musician?
* **Materiality & Texture:** Is it made of solid light, swirling particles, glitching data blocks, liquid energy, or shimmering glass-like fragments? Is it semi-transparent? Does it cast its own light?
* **Color & Light Emission:** Specify the color palette of the hologram itself and describe how it illuminates its surroundings. e.g., “emits a soft, warm golden glow that contrasts with the cool blues of the city.”
* **Scale:** How large is it in relation to the environment and the crowd? e.g., “towers over the skyscrapers,” “hovers intimately just above the crowd.”
**4. The Dynamic Action Sequence (The Story):**
* **Purpose:** This is the most critical part of a dynamic prompt. Describe the sequence of events from beginning to end. Use action verbs and describe cause and effect. Think of it as a mini-script for the AI.
* **Structure:**
* **Opening (First 1-2 seconds):** How does the shot begin? What is the initial state of the hologram and the scene? e.g., “The hologram begins to coalesce from a vortex of light.”
* **Core Action (Middle seconds):** Describe the main performance or event. What specific movements does the hologram make? How do its properties change? e.g., “It gracefully raises its arms, and as it does, trails of stardust particles follow its motion.”
* **Climax/Focal Event:** Is there a peak moment? A burst of light, a musical crescendo represented visually, a transformation? e.g., “At the peak of its gesture, it unleashes a gentle shockwave of auroral light that washes over the awestruck crowd.”
* **Resolution (Final seconds):** How does the shot conclude? What is the final state? e.g., “The wave of light dissipates into tiny, floating embers, and the hologram holds a majestic, serene pose.”
**5. Cinematic & Technical Specifications:**
* **Purpose:** Guide the AI’s “director” and “cinematographer” to achieve a specific look and feel.
* **Details to include:**
* **Camera Shot Type & Movement:** Be specific. “Low-angle dolly shot pushing in slowly,” “FPV drone shot weaving through structures,” “orbital pan revealing the scale,” “rack focus from a cheering alien face to the hologram.”
* **Lens & Focus:** “Wide-angle lens to capture the epic scale,” “shallow depth of field with bokeh on background lights,” “anamorphic lens flare.”
* **Pacing & Speed:** “Extreme slow-motion (120fps),” “real-time,” “dynamic speed ramping from slow to fast.”
* **Lighting:** Describe the overall lighting scheme. “Volumetric lighting,” “strong key light from the hologram,” “neon-drenched ambient light,” “god rays piercing through atmospheric haze.”
* **Color Palette:** Specify the dominant colors, contrasts, and mood. “A triadic color scheme of deep cyan, vibrant magenta, and rich gold,” “monochromatic with highlights.”
**6. Art Style & Rendering:**
* **Purpose:** Define the artistic direction. Reference specific styles, artists, or media to give the AI a clear aesthetic target.
* **Keywords:** “Sci-fi animation,” “anime aesthetic,” “concept art,” “CGI,” “cell-shaded.”
* **Influences:** “In the style of Studio Ghibli meets Blade Runner 2049,” “cinematic visuals reminiscent of Denis Villeneuve,” “artwork inspired by Moebius and Katsuhiro Otomo.”
* **Rendering Quality:** “Hyper-detailed,” “photorealistic rendering of animated elements,” “8K resolution,” “unreal engine 5 cinematic quality.”
**7. Negative Prompts (What to Avoid):**
* **Purpose:** Refine the output by explicitly stating what you *don’t* want to see. This helps prevent common AI mistakes.
* **Examples:** “Avoid: shaky camera, motion blur, distorted faces, unrealistic physics, cartoonish style, watermarks, text, UI elements, jarring cuts.”

### Example Prompt in Practice
Here is a complete, dynamic prompt for Google Veo following the structure above.
**(1. Core Concept & Shot Declaration)**
A cinematic, ultra-wide angle, slow-motion orbital pan shot for a sci-fi animated art video. The scene features a colossal, bio-luminescent holographic creature soaring through a futuristic alien city during a grand festival. The mood is awe-inspiring, majestic, and slightly overwhelming.
**(2. Scene & Environment)**
The setting is the central canyon of a sprawling ecumenopolis on a distant planet at deep twilight. Vertiginous, chrome-and-quartz skyscrapers with cascading waterfalls and integrated hanging gardens line the canyon walls. Countless holographic advertisements and neon signs in an unknown alien script flicker and pulse with vibrant color. Flying transport vehicles, like sleek manta rays, stream between the buildings. Down below, on multi-layered plazas and sky-bridges, a massive, diverse crowd of aliens—some insectoid, some reptilian, some energy-based—are gathered, looking up in collective wonder. A giant, shattered moon hangs in the purple-hued sky, its debris forming a faint, glittering ring.
**(3. Primary Subject)**
The central subject is a massive holographic entity, a “Star Whale.” It is the size of a blue whale, appearing both ancient and technologically advanced. Its body is not solid but composed of semi-transparent, deep blue and violet swirling nebulae, with a captured galaxy of tiny, bright stars visible within its form. Its outline is defined by sharp, glowing cyan lines of hard light, resembling circuitry or constellations. Its vast, intelligent eyes are pure white light. As it moves, it leaves a faint, shimmering trail of cosmic dust and reality-glitch particles that dissipate slowly. The Star Whale emits a soft, ambient hum and a deep, resonant light that illuminates the nearby buildings as it passes.
**(4. The Dynamic Action Sequence)**
The video begins with the camera positioned high, looking down one side of the city canyon. The Star Whale hologram glides silently into frame from the left, its immense scale immediately apparent. As it moves, the camera begins a slow, majestic orbital pan, tracking with the creature. The whale performs a slow, graceful barrel roll, its nebula-filled body twisting and contorting space around it visually. As it reaches the apex of its roll (midway through the shot), it opens its mouth and releases a beautiful, silent wave of auroral energy—a ribbon of green, pink, and blue light—that flows downwards, washing over the sky-bridges and the cheering crowds below. The aliens in the crowd raise their arms, their faces illuminated by the passing light. The shot ends with the Star Whale straightening its path and continuing its journey down the canyon, its tail fin leaving a final, brilliant particle trail before it glides out of frame.
**(5. Cinematic & Technical Specifications)**
* **Camera:** The camera executes a smooth, continuous 90-degree orbital pan combined with a slow dolly forward, always keeping the Star Whale centered. Use an ultra-wide anamorphic lens (2.39:1 aspect ratio) to maximize the sense of scale and capture the entire cityscape.
* **Pacing:** The entire sequence is in breathtaking slow-motion (e.g., 120fps playback) to emphasize the creature’s grace and size.
* **Lighting:** The scene is lit by the ambient glow of the city’s neon signs and the powerful, cool, volumetric key light emanating from the Star Whale itself. Strong light shafts and lens flares should be prominent as it moves.
* **Color Palette:** The palette is dominated by deep blues, purples, and blacks of the twilight city, punctuated by the vibrant magenta, cyan, and orange of the neon lights. The Star Whale and its auroral wave provide a stunning, ethereal contrast.
**(6. Art Style & Rendering)**
* **Style:** High-end sci-fi animation, blending the atmospheric world-building of *Blade Runner 2049* with the imaginative creature design found in James Cameron’s *Avatar*. The final look should be a hyper-detailed, photorealistic CGI render, as if from a blockbuster film or a high-fidelity Unreal Engine 5 cinematic.
* **Rendering:** Render in 4K resolution. Focus on intricate detail in the city architecture, the textures of the crowd, and the complex particulate system of the hologram.
**(7. Negative Prompts)**
Avoid: Shaky cam, handheld feel, sudden movements, cartoonish aliens, low-polygon models, pixelation, compression artifacts, flat lighting. The creature should appear fully integrated into the environment, not like a superimposed element.
