I test AI tools for a living and have had my fair share of wow moments.

But nothing quite prepared me for whatGoogles new Veo 2 can do.

Its worth the subscription.

This tool lets you generate 8-second, 720p cinematic videos using a single prompt.

Im having so much fun with these videos and Im only just getting started!

For my next prompt, I went sci-fi.

Okay, maybe notthatintense, but I can dream, right?

The movements were smooth as butter.

People and children

Prompt:Children playing on a playground.

kindly include typical equipment such as swings and sandbox.

I was curious how Gemini would do with generating a video that included people.

The AI did a fairly decent job but it wasnt perfect.

The little girl on the swing suddenly shifted to a boy in a sandbox.

But the children were surprisingly realistic.

My goal with this prompt was to determine how well the AI could capture speed and motion.

This video looks like it was a clip from the news or a television show.

For the last prompt I wanted to test Geminis ability to make unreality come to life.

What better way than to prompt it to create a video of mermaids in the ocean?

It did seem to go overboard (no pun intended) with the number of mermaids.

But I know that tweaking the prompt would curate a much better scene.

I tried it by uploading a static image of myself and adding what I wanted the image to do.

To be completely honest, I wasnt as impressed with this feature as much as Veo 2.

But I plan to continue playing around a little more because I have seen what it can do.

Gemini captured here perfectly.

I clicked Animate and Google made the image come to life.

The interface is simple, the turnaround is fast, and the creative possibilities are endless.Bottom line?

Veo 2 is the most fun Ive had with an AI tool in a while.

The possibilities are endless and I can’t wait to keep playing with this tool.
