Okay, this VEO 3 video looks incredibly inspiring for anyone diving into AI-powered development, especially if you’re like me and exploring the convergence of AI coding, no-code tools, and LLM-based workflows. It basically unlocks the ability to create short films with custom characters that speaks custom dialogue, leveraging Google’s new image-to-video tech to bring still images to life with lip-synced audio and sound effects. Talk about a game changer!
The video is valuable because it’s not just a dry tutorial; it demonstrates a whole AI filmmaking process. It goes deep on how to use VEO 3’s new features, but also showcases how to pair it with other AI tools like Runway References for visual consistency, Elevenlabs for voice control (I have been struggling to find a good tool), Heygen for translation, Suno for soundtracks, and even Kling for VFX. The presenter also gives great prompting tips and also some cost savings ideas (a big deal!). This multi-tool approach is exactly where I see the future of development and automation going. It is about combining the best of breed tools to create new workflows and save time and money.
For example, imagine using VEO 3 and Elevenlabs to quickly prototype interactive training modules with personalized character dialogues. Or, think about automating marketing video creation by generating visuals with VEO 3, sound effects with Elevenlabs and translating them into multiple languages. What I found to be very interesting is how it can be used to create story boarding content quickly. The possibilities are endless! I’m genuinely excited to experiment with this workflow because it bridges the gap between traditional filmmaking and AI-driven content creation. I am especially interested to see how the presenter created the short film, Hotrod. I want to see if I can create something similar.
