A GOOGLER EXPLAINS HOW TO “META PROMPT” FOR INCREDIBLE VEO VIDEOS

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Google DeepMind UX Engineer Anna Bortsova uses "meta prompting" — asking Gemini to write detailed prompts for Veo rather than crafting them herself — to create striking stop-motion, paper-engineered ASMR videos. Her technique involves instructing Gemini with specific tasks, format requirements, material constraints, and desired emotional responses, which then generate elaborate multi-page prompts that produce high-quality results. Bortsova's approach, which she shares with colleagues through internal demos and social media, emphasizes experimentation with subjects you're passionate about while providing clear creative direction to the AI.
