š§ My VEO 3 AI Video Creation Process: From Grok AI to Glitches
Checked my stats this morning and was happy to see my second double-downed Google VEO AI video is getting popular. Both of my successful VEO videos share the same line: "You think I am AI, is it?"
I asked Grok AI for a few humorous ideas along the same theme and picked my favorite. I then had Grok transform the idea into a detailed AI video prompt, but it was too long for VEO's 8-second limit.
Here's my practical workflow:
- Manual Edit: I shortened the prompt storyline manually, and taking out specific camera instructions to let VEO decide on the best angles based on the story.
- Test to Save Credits: Before plugging it into VEO, I tested the visual part of the prompt on Gemini's AI image generator. This helps me iterate and refine the concept without wasting expensive AI video credits.
- Brand Sneak: As usual, I snuck my brand name in. It's a bit obvious this time, but I don't mind.
The final video came out almost exactly as scripted, but with a few hilarious glitches. The side character tosses ice cream, and it falls right back into their hand. The mermaid body flips in a way that's totally unrealistic. And the seagulls, which were supposed to be screaming, are completely silent.
It kind of makes the line, "You think I am AI, is it?" even funnier.
What do you think? It's a good reminder that even with detailed prompts, AI still has its own creative quirks.

Here's the prompt I ended up using:
"Imagine a Beach Mermaid Metamorphosis:
Setting: A vibrant, crowded beach at sunset with crashing waves, colorful umbrellas, and screaming seagulls.
Action: A sunbather lounging on a towel suddenly arches their back as their legs fuse into a shimmering, rainbow-scaled mermaid tail. Nearby swimmers scatter, gasping, as a lifeguard blows their whistle and shouts, āNo one just becomes a mermaid!ā The mermaid flips their tail dramatically, splashing water, and grins cheekily.
Dialogue: Mermaid says, āYou think I am AI, is it?ā
Visuals: Amplify the sparkling tail transformation and water effects, with the crowdās comedic panic shown through exaggerated running and dropped ice cream cones.
