This is Plastic. Made with Veo3. 

Spoilers in the next post. Watch before reading

This might be the most fun I've ever had creating a video – and it's 100% because of Veo3.

Forget fidelity and physics for a second. The real game-changer? Being able to generate dialogue right in the text prompt. What used to take two extra steps now happens instantly — and the quality? Unreal.

I started with this simple concept of a plastic kid, but as I kept generating, the story got unexpectedly emotional. I found myself genuinely sympathizing with this character being left out – such a universal feeling. The story could've gone anywhere… What was I trying to say? What was the message?

Eventually, I decided: I wanted the process to reflect the joy of creating. I was having too much fun to let it get dark, so I went full meta to pull myself out.

The office scenes were pure magic. Those one-liners? First try, usable footage. I literally just typed the dialogue and Veo3 delivered. (Pro tip: text-to-video nails the lip sync, but image-to-video struggles with dialogue – had to use Pixverse for that final conversation scene to keep character consistency.)

I was in full stream-of-consciousness mode for the office stuff, not sweating the details. You can tell because nothing in the background matches 😅 

For high-stakes work like what we do at @promise_ai (where we're aiming for theatrical release), every detail matters. But for a weekend passion project? This speed + quality combo is unreal.

Imagine using this for pre-viz on bigger projects! Just warning – clients might fall in love with the rough cut 😂. You might accidentally make something too good to throw away.

Massive respect to the Veo3 team at @GoogleDeepMind Thanks for making tools that help us tell stories — even the ridiculous ones.
