The Recipe
Prompt
Original prompt unavailable. Analysis provided by AI.
A cinematic short film about a solitary professional cleaner working in a near-future city. The world feels quiet, controlled, and slightly unsettling. Empty streets, sterile interiors, muted colors. The cleaner moves with precision and routine, as if following rules that were written long ago
Workflow & Recipe
Narrative Planning Defined a simple, contained story that can survive visual ambiguity Focused on mood, routine, repetition, and implication rather than plot complexity Prompt Writing Wrote detailed, scene-aware prompts Explicitly described tone, camera behavior, lighting, pacing, and character behavior Avoided overloading prompts with unnecessary visual noise Text-to-Video Generation Generated shots directly in Veo 3 via Google Flow Maintained consistency by reusing structured prompt language across scenes Accepted minor visual drift (gloves, small props) as current model limitation Shot Selection & Ordering Selected takes that best preserved character identity and mood Sequenced shots to imply narrative progression without exposition Final Tweaks Minor trimming and assembly No external image generation, no image-to-video steps, no post VFX
