Veo 3 prompts

Real prompts and the clips Veo 3.1, Veo 3.1 Fast and Veo 3.1 Lite made from them on Leap. The first two are whole shots written from words alone. Most of the rest started from a picture, so the prompt only says how it moves: press Make this to open Veo with the prompt in the box, then add your own picture as the first frame.

11 prompts, each under the clip it made.

Whole shots from words alone

With no picture to start from, the prompt carries the whole shot: the lens and where the camera is, who is in it down to their clothes, the one big moment, then “Sound:” and what you hear. Both end with the same line, which keeps text, logos and numbers off everything.

  • Eye contact, made on Leap

    Eye contact

    Veo 3.1

    Underwater footage on a 14mm wide lens in deep ultramarine open ocean, shafts of sunlight slanting down from the surface. A Polynesian freediver in her thirties, long black hair floating loose, a plain black wetsuit and long fins, hangs perfectly still in the foreground, tiny, as an enormous sperm whale glides past within a metre of her, filling the whole frame, its scarred grey skin sliding by, and its huge eye turns and looks straight at her. Real scale, crystal clear water, no other animals. Sound: deep underwater pressure, slow loud whale clicks, her single heartbeat. No text, no logos, no lettering, no numbers anywhere: plain unbranded clothes, shoes and gear, no signs or banners.

  • Sister, pull over, made on Leap

    Sister, pull over

    Veo 3.1

    Low tracking shot on a 35mm lens from a chase vehicle racing across a white limestone quarry under a hard blue sky at noon. A young nun in a full black habit and white coif, flapping in the wind, with dusty goggles, rides a plain white dirt bike flat out, standing on the pegs, two pursuers in all-black gear and plain black helmets on black dirt bikes close behind her. She hits a gravel ramp and launches straight over the camera, the habit billowing, chalk dust and stones raining down on the lens. Gritty, sun-bleached, real. Sound: screaming two-stroke engines, gravel spraying, the wind, the habit snapping. No text, no logos, no lettering, no numbers anywhere: plain unbranded clothes, shoes and gear, no signs or banners.

Cinematic camera moves

Each prompt names one camera move (tracks low alongside, glides forward and descends, dollies forward, tilts up), then what moves in the frame, then the look: “65mm film look”, “smooth stabilized tracking”. The corgi clip had no picture to start from, only its one sentence.

  • Salt flat rider, made on Leap

    Cinematic wide shot. The camera tracks low and parallel to the ground alongside the lone rider as the horse gallops steadily across the immense white salt flat, a long plume of golden dust trailing behind and drifting in the wind, the long shadow racing across the cracked salt, distant blue mountains holding still on the horizon. Warm late sun, smooth stabilized tracking, 65mm film look, natural horse gait.

Rooms, products and motion design

With no people in the frame, the motion comes from light and air: curtains billowing, window shadows shifting, reflections sliding across chrome. The camera stays slow so the space reads.

  • Forest living room, made on Leap

    Interior film: the sheer linen curtains billow gently in a soft breeze, sunlight and window shadows shift slowly across the oak floor, mist drifts among the pines outside, the camera dollies slowly sideways through the living room. Calm, architectural, no people.
