Okay, let's talk about JSON prompting in vo3.
So first of all, if you don't know what JSON is, it's a type of structured data.
So it's used in programming.
You don't have to worry about it too much.
And it's not a requirement for using Voe.
You can just type what you want.
Like you could say like an astronaut sleeps peacefully on a mystical in world.
Whatever you want to type in, you could describe the camera angles, the environment, the character,
etc. now the benefit of using something like JSON and I'm just going to paste some in here, is that
it's a little bit more precise.
And again, there is no actual decided upon structure for this.
But what JSON does is it gives you this key value structure.
So here the key is prompt.
And then the value is this specific prompt which is what we just typed in.
But it gives you the flexibility to control different parameters.
Because Vo3 understands JSON.
It understands instance programming, it can understand that it needs to be much more precise to follow
these values.
For example, here we have this config key.
It there's nothing special about the word config other than it understands what config means.
Configuration.
And then within config we have camera.
And again it just understands what a camera is right.
There's no special magic keywords here.
You can put whatever you want, but like that allows you to really describe more precisely what you
want.
So in this case we're communicating to it that we're going to use with for the camera configuration,
we're going to use a wide shot angle.
And then we want to slowly pan across the landscape.
This is where having a little bit of video editing or video production or video shooting, I guess videography
experience will be really useful because you understand the different types of shots you could use or
how panning works, lighting, etc. but even if you don't know, you can actually ask ChatGPT or Gemini
or whatever LLM you use to come up with some ideas for how to do the camera shots, you can describe
the environment.
So in this case, we have the astronaut sleeping peacefully on the mystical, mysterious, mystical
alien world.
but here we're describing a setting in more detail, saying it's a floating island.
Neon blue and purple glowing flowers.
Lights.
Magical.
Serene.
And then we have the character.
You can see you could just describe all of this in a prompt, but it might get a little bit confused
as to whether you're talking about the environment or the character.
It could be some bleed over.
This kind of helps structure everything.
I also find this really good for testing different ideas, because maybe you definitely want an astronaut
sleeping peaceful in a mystical alien world, but you maybe want to try and describe like a different
world.
Maybe you make more of a chaotic one, or maybe you do the same astronaut, but with different camera
angle.
Or maybe they're not in a futuristic suit.
They're in an old school suit, so you can start to think more systematically about your prompt this
way.
I'm just going to submit this, and it's going to take a couple minutes to run.
The other thing we can do is I'm just going to take that same prompt, and then I'm going to change
some element of it, maybe I would say anywhere with volcanic islands.
And I'm going to say raw red and black Back pouring lava.
Zero smoke and fog and just going to make the vibes chaotic and angry.
Cool.
So that's going to be really different.
You're sleeping curled up on hard ash.
Yeah.
On volcanic ash, let's say.
And gentle, glowing creatures hovering nearby.
Just call them menacing.
Glowing creatures hovering nearby are rocking their wings nearby.
Cool.
And the cool thing about via, by the way, is you can just generate new ones while you're waiting for
the other one to generate.
But it looks like this just finished.
So let's see how this looks.
So let's follow the prompts really well.
Like we've got the floating islands.
We've got everything here which is really helpful.
And now we've got a completely different video.
So let's play this one.
Yeah very different vibe.
And it's the same prompt.
Exactly.
It's got a lot of the same elements.
But those elements that we changed, like the lava and the winged beasts is really made a difference.
So it just gives you a little bit more control over your prompt.
