8. Click on the first + button, then click on “Upload” option. A pop up will appear from your device from where you have to select your image. The same image in which you are holding your phone.
9. As you can see in the below image, I am done uploading my image holding the phone. Plus, I have also wrote the prompt which will do the rest of the magic. Copy any of the prompt from below.
Copy Prompt: “A cinematic scene of this person focused on his phone. Glowing film strips flowing under the floor, all connected as one continuous ribbon to the top side of phone. Each strip displays moving, colorful video scenes that illuminate the space with soft reflections. The user swipes slowly, looking tired. Smooth camera motion, shallow depth of field, cinematic lighting.“
Copy Prompt: “A realistic cinematic video scene set in a modern outdoor café corridor with brick walls, glass windows, wooden tables, and lush green potted plants. A young man in his late 20s sits relaxed on a wooden chair, wearing a light blue denim jacket over a gray t-shirt and dark pants. He is holding a smartphone with both hands, looking down at the screen with a focused, calm expression. The camera is positioned at a medium shot, slightly angled from the front-left, with shallow depth of field and warm natural daylight illuminating the scene. The background is softly blurred, emphasizing the subject. As the video begins, everything is still. Then, a soft golden glow slowly emanates from the phone screen. From the phone, a luminous, semi-transparent film-strip made of light begins to emerge. The glowing strip gently rises upward in a smooth, flowing motion, twisting and spiraling in the air above the phone. The film strip contains small, vivid cinematic frames inside it, each frame subtly animated with warm highlights, giving the impression of memories, videos, or stories coming to life. The glow softly reflects on the man’s hands, face, and jacket, enhancing realism. The strip continues to float upward in an elegant S-shaped curve, maintaining a magical yet realistic look—no sudden movements, very fluid and graceful. The man remains still, absorbed in his phone, unaware of the spectacle unfolding above it. Lighting remains natural with added soft volumetric glow around the strip. The mood is calm, modern, and slightly magical. Ultra-realistic textures, cinematic color grading, 4K quality, smooth motion, no camera shake.“
10. Lastly, click on “Veo 3.1 – Fast” option down there, and copy the exact settings. Or you can adjust the settings according to your needs. And hit enter or click on the arrow button
11. And you are all done. Here is the final video which came out executing all the above steps. And to be honest, I didn’t get this result on the first attempt. I think I got it in the third attempt. So if you don’t get expected results on the first attempt, just try again. A good quality and wide angle image will work good.
