✒️Prompts Used in the Video:

reference-to-video:
An elderly man's face lights up with surprise as his family presents a birthday cake beside a family album on the table, warm lighting fills the room, gentle piano music plays softly in the background, he gasps and says with emotion, "You remembered."

first-last-frame-to-video:
The white Lamborghini Countach drifts sharply around a corner and slides into a perfect park on a sunlit city street, smoke and tire screech filling the air, camera panning fast with cinematic motion blur, dust particles and heat haze, dynamic reflections on the car, hyper-realistic lighting, upbeat and energetic vibe.

image-to-video:
A gritty handheld medium shot of a muscular soldier in tactical gear sprinting uphill through dry brush, clutching a rifle tightly. He wears a tan baseball cap, comms antenna on his back, and a sweat-stained t-shirt beneath a heavy vest. His face is tense, jaw clenched, breath ragged. The sun is low, casting long shadows over a distant city skyline behind him. Dust kicks up with each stride, and distant gunfire and radio static echo faintly in the background.

Cinematic dynamic scene, starting close to the face of a man driving a minimalist vintage car, and then zooming into the gear stick to show him changing gears, high speed

🎥 About Veo 3.1

Veo 3.1 is a big step up from Veo 3, with generally better video and audio produced. The two big additions are the reference-to-video and first-last-frame-to-video capabilities, as these allow for much finer control on the composition and contents of your videos. Check out the Visual Recipe Lab GitHub page to see the power of reference-to-video!
