Japanese engineers developed a “Sword Tip Visualization System” for the Fencing World Championships, and it makes fencing look absolutely incredible to watch.

Anna Bortsova, a Google UX Engineer, used Gemini 2.5 Pro to generate text-to-video prompts for Veo 3 and created a series of charming paper engineering stop-motion animations with paper-rustling sounds.

After experimenting in the @GeminiApp to help with prompt writing, she learned that a well crafted ‘meta-prompt’ describing the 8-second shot (textures, materials, and animation style) consistently generated high-quality Veo 3 prompts. This approach helped her dedicate her creative focus to exploring diverse video themes, while Gemini handled prompt writing.

To create this summer-inspired beach animation, Anna asked the @GeminiApp to craft prompts specifically for video LLMs like Veo 3. Then she used the generated prompts and the 'video' tool in Gemini to make several vivid and stylized videos.
