A Veo prompt for the Tip Toe barn dance

The prompt

Shoot a playful barn dance that feels like a short social video: vertical 9:16, 15 seconds, hard cuts, cinematic and photoreal. Photo one is the DANCER and photo two is the PARTNER, each person kept true to their picture in face, skin tone, hair and clothes. The DANCER wears ordinary footwear. Location: an old timber barn with straw and bales, dark walls, warm light across straw and faces. Plan by the clock. At 0 to 3 s we sit behind the PARTNER's shoulder watching the DANCER crouch in the straw, eyes wide and scheming. At 3 to 4.5 s a close-up catches a finger rising to the lips ("shh") plus a smirk. At 4.5 to 7.5 s a close-up of the PARTNER, hand across the mouth, eyes wide, while the DANCER's hand pats their head. At 7.5 to 9 s the DANCER stands, throws both arms open and grins like a troublemaker. At 9 to 12 s a low shot of the DANCER's feet picking their way through straw on tiptoe. Between 12 and 15 s the DANCER bobs with arms out, with cutaways to the feet, ending on one fixed, happy grin. Audio: a lively instrumental groove, light percussion, finger snaps; no singing and no lyrics, nobody speaks, and any voice is English. Handheld, natural motion. No text or logos, and no watermark, anywhere in frame.

Tips

• Use both photos as references, Dancer first, then paste the prompt. Tools that follow timelines will make use of the time ranges.
• Give each photo one crisp face looking at the lens. What to look for is in the photo guide.
• Tools change often. Look up the length and aspect ratio yours allows, then adjust the first line.
