Summary
Veo 3.1 is a high-fidelity model for cinematic sequences that need realism, continuity, and narrative control. It produces less competent cinematography than Veo 3 and struggles slightly more with animation. It's still a pretty good model, only a few points less than Veo 3, but not necessarily an upgrade.
Examples
Seinen dramatic japanese anime style: a lone samurai stands on a moonlit cliff overlooking a misty valley. Wind sweeps through his robes and loose hair. He unsheathes his katana—the blade gleams—cherry blossom petals swirl around him. Atmospheric tension, cinematic framing, ink wash backgrounds.
A futuristic city skyline at sunset, cinematic drone shot
Close up of a wrinkled elderly woman's weathered hands carefully folding an origami crane. Paper creases with each deliberate fold, fingers moving with practiced precision. Soft warm lighting, intimate macro detail.
Animated CGI kid's cartoon style: a playful squirrel leaps between tree branches in a colorful forest, but every other frame is held like a storybook illustration. Bright colors, exaggerated expressions, motion lines, intentionally bouncy yet fluid animation.
A cinematic hummingbird hovering over vivid flowers at sunrise, 8s
POV from inside a car trunk looking up at three figures who've just opened it. Wide lens, dramatic lighting from below, the perspective is specific and iconic.
Slow pan across a tightly patterned checkerboard floor and striped wallpaper.
Action-adventure CG: a fierce Viking warrior rides a dragon through a narrow sea stack canyon at high speed. Braided beard and fur cloak whipping in the wind, dragon wings tucking and flaring. Dynamic camera, motion blur, cinematic framing.
Times Square at night: massive LED billboards display rotating ads. COCA-COLA, SAMSUNG, BROADWAY SHOWS.
