The Recipe
Prompt
A cinematic, dystopian short film set in a near future where a new form of capital punishment has been introduced. Show a stark, oppressive cityscape with tall, cold structures and heavy shadows. Follow a protagonist through a tense sequence where they confront the system that enforces this punishment. Include closeups of emotional reactions, slow camera moves for tension, and moments of silent dread. Ambient environmental sounds and unsettling undertones should be present. Voiceover should be minimal but impactful. Lighting is desaturated and high contrast with occasional dramatic backlight to emphasize mood. The film should feel like a chilling warning about technology and justice.
Workflow & Recipe
The creator started with a written concept and script about a dark, dystopian world where a new form of capital punishment exists. From there, the entire film was generated using Google Veo 3, leveraging text prompts that describe scenes, camera angles, actions, and emotional beats. Generation was done in Veo 3 via Google Flow, with the model producing both visuals and sound elements (including ambient audio and dialogue). Music and score were added using Suno AI to match the tone and pacing of the film. Prompt refinement was likely assisted by ChatGPT to tighten descriptions and improve consistency. The strongest generated segments were then arranged into a coherent sequence, refined for pacing, and finally rendered as the completed short film in a three-day sprint from writing to final output.
