The tool has an advanced understanding of natural language to enable the model to understand cinematic terms like “time lapse” or “aerial shots of a landscape.”

Users can direct the creation using prompts such as text, image, and video-based to create realistic movement for people, animals, and objects. Creators can refine the video results by using additional prompts. Google also is exploring other features that will enable Veo to produce storyboards and longer scenes.

In a brief video, Glover and his crew use text to create video of a convertible arriving at a European home, and a sailboat gliding through the ocean. 

"At the heart of this is storytelling," Glover said. "The closer we are to being able to tell each other our stories, the more we will understand each other."

But will people want to see an algorithmically created piece of art? OpenAI introduced Sora in February. The text-to-video model called aimed to "understand and simulate the physical world in motion," the company said.
