Create a VEO3 Root Animation Video with Veo 3 Prompt

How to Use a Veo 3 Prompt to Generate a VEO3 Root Animation Video

Veo 3 enables creators to generate highly cinematic videos using structured JSON prompts. In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through creating a short animation where roots burrow and grow the “VEO3” text in a lush forest environment.

The JSON Prompt

Here is the full JSON prompt you can use in Veo 3:

{ "sequences":[ { "start_sec":0, "end_sec":3, "narrative":"Roots burrow,grow 'VEO3' in earth.", "visuals":{ "camera_setup":"Cinematic,55mm,f/1.7", "motion":"Burrow deep", "lighting":"Earthy underground glow", "effects":["Root extensions","Soil displace"] }, "environment":{ "setting":"Fertile forest soil", "atmosphere":"Worm wriggles,moist drips", "props":["Fallen seeds"] }, "entities":[ { "type":"text", "details":"'VEO3' root font,brown-green", "behaviors":["Sprouts tendrils","Branches out"], "interactions":"Roots entwine" } ], "audio_layers":{ "background":"Earth rumble -11dB", "dialogue":[], "effects":["Root cracks"] } }, { "start_sec":3, "end_sec":5, "narrative":"Letters emerge,sprout with leaves.", "visuals":{ "camera_setup":"Cinematic,55mm,f/1.7", "motion":"Emerge up", "lighting":"Sunlit green hues", "effects":["Leaf unfurls","Vine climbs"] }, "environment":{ "setting":"Fertile forest soil", "atmosphere":"Worm wriggles,moist drips", "props":["Fallen seeds"] }, "entities":[ { "type":"text", "details":"'VEO3' root font,brown-green", "behaviors":["Breaks surface","Foliates lush"], "interactions":"Leaves rustle" } ] } ] }

This JSON prompt defines every aspect of your animation, including sequences, camera setup, visual effects, environment, text entities, and audio layers.

Step 1: Understanding the Sequences

The sequences array divides the video into key segments:

• 0-3 seconds: Roots burrow underground and start forming the “VEO3” text.
  • Camera: cinematic 55mm, deep burrowing motion
  • Visual effects: root extensions, soil displacement
  • Environment: fertile soil, worms wriggling, moist drips
  • Audio: subtle earth rumble, root cracking sounds
• 3-5 seconds: Letters emerge and sprout leaves.
  • Camera: cinematic 55mm, rising motion
  • Visual effects: leaves unfurl, vines climb
  • Environment: sunlight filtering through green hues, forest props
  • Audio: ambient forest sounds, optional subtle effects

Step 2: Camera and Visual Effects

The visuals section ensures cinematic quality:

• Cinematic lens (55mm, f/1.7) for shallow depth of field
• Smooth motion following root burrowing and letter emergence
• Lighting shifts from earthy underground glow to sunlit green hues
• Effects like root extensions, soil displacement, leaf unfurling, and vine climbing add realism

Step 3: Designing the Environment

The environment section sets the atmosphere:

• Fertile forest soil with fallen seeds
• Moist underground ambience with subtle worm and drip sounds
• Sunlit green tones when letters emerge

This combination creates a natural, organic feel that complements the root animation.

Step 4: Text Entities and Interactions

The entities field defines the “VEO3” text:

• Roots form letters underground, sprouting tendrils and branching out
• As letters emerge, leaves grow and interact with the environment
• Subtle movements like leaf rustle enhance realism

Step 5: Audio Layers

The audio_layers section adds depth:

• Background: soft earth rumble
• Sound effects: root cracks, optional leaf rustle
• Dialogue: none, keeping the focus on visual storytelling

Step 6: Generating Your Video in Veo 3

Paste the JSON prompt into Veo 3. Adjust any minor settings if needed, then click Generate. Veo 3 will create a cinematic animation showing roots forming the “VEO3” text and letters sprouting leaves in a lush forest environment.

Conclusion

Using a structured JSON prompt in Veo 3 allows you to create visually rich and cinematic animations with precise control over sequences, camera, effects, environment, and audio. This VEO3 root animation example demonstrates how to combine natural elements and text for an engaging, immersive short video.
