FIRST STEP – get the basics

First you will need the basics for the final picture. As you can see in the final result we have myself in the kitchen promoting a new Digital Magic drink and I am wearing a shirt with my logo on it. And starting from complete scratch we first need the product, which I generated with text-to-image.

Prompt:

Generate an image of a sleek black jar labeled “DIGITAL MAGIC” with a prominent blue lightning bolt emblem, set against a grey background. The jar should have a modern, glossy appearance, emphasizing energy and strength in a fitness context.

APPLY THE LOGO

Now that we have the product we have to apply my logo onto it using Instant Storyboard.

Just upload the image of the product we just created and another with my logo to the Instant storyboard and tell it to put the logo onto the Product.

Prompt, pictures in the Instant Storyboard:

GET THE SHIRT

Next we need a shirt which we are going to generate with text-to-image.

Prompt:
generate a plain white t-shirt with gray background

APPLY LOGO:

After generating the shirt we again put it and a picture of the logo in the Instant Storyboard tool and let it generate the logo on the shirt.

Prompt and Picture in the Instant Storyboard:

SECOND STEP – put yourself in VEO 3 and let Instant Storyboard do the work

After we got our product and the shirt, all we need to do now is put the Pictures of them and a picture of myself into Instant Storyboard, use a prompt and generate it. It is very important that you really specify your scene in your prompt, I would suggest trying out different prompts and keywords such as “aesthetically pleasing”, “close up shot”, “warm, deep, cinematic colors” to further adjust the outcome to your liking. So do not be afraid to try it out a couple of times. I will show you how much of a difference it can make by showing the first outcome next to the last and adjusted outcome.

How to add a voice to your video within google VEO 3

Creating AI videos with VEO 3 is even easier then you think. All you need is the picture you want to animate and a prompt.
It is important to describe what the character has to do as much as possible, to ensure that the result is as close to your expectation as possible.

Add a voice (even yours)

If you want your character to say a certain quote you have to make sure to use a comma instead of the usual colon and quotation marks (he says, …). You can also change the voice, voice tone and accent of the character in the video, such as a dutch accent, very loud and aggressive.

How we created the picture of the final Thumbnail

In 4 easy steps

First step

I first created this picture with the Instant Storyboard using my face and the jar, and I liked the way he held the jar so I decided to reuse it for the next step.

Second step

After that I cut the background out, using DZINE’s amazing background removal tool

Third step

I used the cut out image from before + the big jar with the following prompt, to create the next image

Final step

Lastly I took the image from before and adjusted the prompt to my liking and overall I am impressed with what Instant Storyboard created. You can see how I did it below and the final result to the left

Create consistent scenes of yourself with Instant Storyboard and Google Veo 3

Consistent scenes

If you want to accomplish creating multiple scenes that look like they are part of the same moment from one picture for example when you want a close up shot of the mountains in the background, but you always find yourself struggling because it never looks like it is from the same scene, then the solution is to just make sure to tell the Instant Storyboard to keep the same lighting, colors and small details like weather or location.

You can see an example of how to prompt this properly.

I created a few pictures with prompts telling it to keep the same lighting and colors, and as you can see they look like they are from the same scene. These prompts can help you put yourself in veo 3

Prompt for @IMG1:
give me a close-up shot of a blonde woman wearing a green sweater standing on a snow covered mountain with mountains in the background, muted colors

Prompt:
Create a full body shot of @IMG1,same lighting and colors

Prompt:
create a Birds Eye view shot of @IMG1, same lighting and colors

Prompt:
create an extreme high angle aerial shot of the mountains in the background of @IMG1, keep the same lighting and colors
