scene: A close-up on an ornate, Victorian-era wooden box on a polished table. It's made of dark mahogany and polished brass, with a circular glass viewing portal. visual_style: A realistic, cinematic look with a focus on rich, tactile textures. The lighting is warm and low-key. camera_movement: A slow, deliberate push-in, moving closer to the glass portal to peer inside. main_subject: A hand turns a large brass key on the side of the box. Inside the portal, a miniature, mechanical diorama comes to life: a tiny, ornate submersible with a glowing porthole descends on a clockwork chain into a deep, dark, painted abyss. Tiny, jointed, metal sea creatures swim past on hidden tracks. background: A dark, out-of-focus Victorian study with leather-bound books. lighting_mood: Warm, soft light from an off-screen gas lamp. The main light source is the tiny, glowing porthole of the submersible. The mood is intimate, wondrous, and intricate. audio_cue: The crisp, mechanical 'click-clack' of the winding key, followed by a slow, gentle music-box melody. The faint, rhythmic 'whirring' of tiny gears is audible. color_palette: A warm palette of dark woods and glowing brass, contrasted with the cool, dark blues of the miniature deep-sea scene.

✍️ Editor’s Notes

Written as a hybrid of field-name-plus-colon and straight prose sentences, not strict JSON, but it wins on clear layering — scene/camera_movement/main_subject/lighting_mood laid out one after another, closing with “audio_cue” stacking mechanical key clicking with a music-box melody. For this kind of Victorian steampunk miniature-diorama subject, the hard part for Veo 3 is handling depth within a scene-inside-a-scene, and this prompt nails the depth layering by spelling out the cause-and-effect chain of the brass key turning (key twists → submarine descends → mechanical fish swim) — much more effective than just vaguely saying “nested doll-style shot”.
