Every shot of this film was done via text-to video with Google Veo 2. It took thousands of generations to get the final film, but I am absolutely blown away by the quality, the consistency, and adherence to the original prompt.

While this is still not perfect, it is, hands down, the best video generation model out there, by a long shot. Additionally, it&#8217;s important to add that no VFX, no clean up, no color correction has been added. Everything is straight out of Veo 2.
