Aegon (@Fujimoto_hina) shared this Veo 3.1 prompt on X in late September 2026. It is written as JSON with fields for title, duration, format, the main prompt, visual style, camera, lighting and a negative prompt. The shot runs from a watermelon cleaving open in slow motion through a swirling ingredient vortex and a churning freezer to a final ultra-macro scoop. Rewrite the main prompt for another dessert and keep the camera and lighting fields.

The prompt is quoted from Aegon’s post on X.

Prompt
{
 "title": "Crimson Frost: The Sub-Zero Watermelon Sorbetto",
 "duration": "10 seconds",
 "format": "16:9, 4K",
 "style": "Cinematic photorealistic artisanal culinary commercial",
 "prompt": "Create a seamless 10-second cinematic journey tracing the creation of luxurious artisan watermelon sorbetto. Begin with a deep striped jade-green heirloom watermelon cleaving cleanly open under macro slow motion against dark matte slate, revealing vibrant, crystalline ruby-red flesh bursting with translucent juice vesicles that shatter and release a pressurized mist of micro-droplets and suspended obsidian seeds. Transition into a dynamic zero-gravity vortex where cold-clarified ruby watermelon nectar, crushed kaffir lime leaf essence, organic agave nectar, and micro-fine sea salt pearls collide and whip into swirling, translucent scarlet ribbons suspended in mid-air. Move directly into the churning cylinder where sub-zero mirror-polished stainless steel dashers fold through the cold emulsion, rapidly freezing it into a dense, velvety, micro-crystalline sorbetto as billowing cryogenic vapor curls from the rim. Finish with an ultra-macro 1000fps warm rose-gold scoop gliding through the frozen crimson crest, rolling up a dense, ridged, velvet-smooth ribboned sphere glistening with microscopic frost crystals, garnished with a delicate shower of micro-planed lime zest ribbons and crushed pink peppercorn dust.",
 "visual_style": "Extreme macro, ultra-shallow depth of field, authentic crystallizing fluid dynamics, realistic thermodynamic frost and cryogenic vapor, vibrant ruby crimson, crystalline pink, and emerald accents contrasted against dark slate stone",
 "camera": "Continuous kinetic macro push-in, seamless fluid-vortex tumble, rotational churning cylinder tracking, and ultra-high-speed slow-motion scoop reveal",
 "lighting": "Crisp backlit rim lighting catching airborne juice droplets and citrus oils, transitioning into cool cryogenic vapor tones inside the churn cylinder, balanced by warm, glowing culinary key lights highlighting glossy red nectar and velvet frost textures",
 "negative_prompt": "text, watermark, logo, subtitles, cartoon, pale washed-out flesh, mealy texture, coarse ice chunks, watery melting mess, artificial candy pink, plastic look, flat lighting, jump cuts, jerky camera movement, noisy footage"
}

10 seconds in 16:9 at 4K, as set in the duration and format fields.
What does the negative prompt avoid?
Text, watermarks, logos and subtitles, a cartoon or plastic look, washed-out fruit, coarse ice, flat lighting, jump cuts and jerky camera moves, among others.
