You've probably been there: you're holding a VEO3, watching an incredible moment unfold in real time, knowing it would look absolutely stunning in slow motion. But when you hit record, the footage comes out underwhelming, lacking that cinematic magic you envisioned. The frustration of missed opportunities and subpar slow-motion shots is something every operator knows too well.
These 13 battle-tested prompts transform your VEO3 from a basic recording device into a cinematic powerhouse for slow-motion capture. Each prompt gives you the exact camera settings, lighting setup, and positioning techniques needed to nail everything from water splashes and fabric flows to athletic impacts and dramatic reveals. Instead of guessing your way through complex slow-motion scenarios, you'll have a proven roadmap that turns challenging shots into consistently stunning footage every single time.
1
Close-Up Water Splash (Macro Slow-Mo)
VEO3 — Macro close-up of water splash: 480 fps, shutter 1/960, aperture f/4, ISO 400 (increase if dark), 100mm macro lens, continuous LED panel at 5600K from 45°, black background, record RAW/LOG, manual focus pre-locked on splash plane, trigger 0.5s before action. Use high shutter and strong side light to freeze droplets; keep camera on tripod and use remote trigger.
Capture crisp droplets and surface tension with high frame rate, bright continuous light, and a short telephoto macro lens.
2
Hair Flip Portrait (Fluid Motion)
VEO3 — Hair flip portrait: 240 fps, shutter 1/480, aperture f/2.8, ISO 200–400, 85mm lens, key light softbox front-left, hair rim light from behind, handheld gimbal or tripod with small lateral slide, lock focus on eyes, instruct subject to flip hair through 1–2 full arcs, record 2–3 takes, use LOG profile.
Slow-motion hair movement for cinematic portraits: mid telephoto, moderate aperture, balanced backlight, and a follow focus on the head.
3
Running Athlete Side-Track
VEO3 — Side tracking run: 240 fps, shutter 1/480, aperture f/4–5.6, ISO 200–800, 35–50mm lens, gimbal or slider parallel to subject, plan 6–8m tracking distance, pre-walk to match stride, use fill reflector to reduce harsh shadows, enable continuous AF or manual follow with wide AF area, start recording 2s before run-in.
Follow a runner at eye level with steady lateral motion, emphasis on foot strike and torso dynamics in slow motion.
4
Car Passing Low-Angle Road Shot
VEO3 — Low-angle road pass: 120–240 fps (choose 240 for dramatic slow-down), shutter 1/480 (for 240 fps) or 1/240 (for 120 fps), aperture f/5.6, ISO 100–400, 24mm low-angle lens, use ND filter to maintain exposure, solid tripod or car-mounted rig, pre-focus on lane mark, capture passing at 1/2 speed of normal to keep relative motion smooth, record ambient sound separately.
Cinematic low-slung slow-mo of a car passing: emphasize tire motion and road spray with a stabilized rig and ND filters.
5
Slow-Mo Fabric Flow (Curtain or Dress)
VEO3 — Fabric flow slow-mo: 240 fps, shutter 1/480, aperture f/2.8–4, ISO 200–400, 50mm lens, strong backlight + soft front fill, fan set low-to-medium for natural flutter, tripod or gimbal to hold framing, use LOG and underexpose slightly to preserve highlights, record multiple bursts while changing fan speed.
Capture graceful fabric movement with high frame rate and backlighting for translucence and texture.
6
High-Impact Sports Hit (Ball & Bat)
VEO3 — Ball impact close slow-mo: 480 fps, shutter 1/960, aperture f/4–5.6, ISO 400–800, 70–200mm lens or 100mm macro for close details, bright continuous lights, tripod with remote trigger, pre-focus on impact point, have pitcher/batter rehearse timing, record 3–5 takes with safety masks and controlled throw speed.
Freeze the moment of impact with high fps and short focal length to capture deformation and particle spray.
7
Coffee Pour Macro (Liquid Motion)
VEO3 — Coffee pour macro slow-mo: 480 fps, shutter 1/960, aperture f/3.5–5.6, ISO 200–800 depending on light, 100mm macro or 85mm with close focus, single hard key from side to highlight droplets, black or neutral background, tripod, trigger sequence timed to pour start, capture multiple pours at varying speeds.
Show fluid ribbons and micro-splashes: use high fps, macro or telephoto, and directional lighting to get texture and reflections.
