Testing Google Veo3
Clay Sticks, Chickens, and the Future of 9:16 Videos

At Creativa Forge, we’re always exploring the newest creative tools. Recently, we tested Google Veo3, and the results were both fun and inspiring. From dancing clay chickens to stick figures in New York and even trampoline chaos in a Japanese-style village — Veo let us bring these quirky little stories to life in just a few seconds of video.

Why Veo3 Is Exciting

  • You can now generate 9:16 vertical videos — perfect for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok.

  • Cinematic detail and texture make clay worlds look alive.

  • We’ve only just scratched the surface — the potential for storytelling, branding, and campaigns is huge.

Prompts We Used (Shortened Versions)
Here are a few of the prompts we tested (you can try them yourself in Veo3):

  • Clay Chickens & Banana Dance (9:16):
    “Two clay characters, one yellow like a banana and one blue like a chicken, dance and laugh in a clay village. Chickens roam around them while they move with bouncy stop-motion energy.”

  • Clay Sticks Karate in New York (9:16):
    “Two clay stick figures square off like karate fighters on a clay New York street. Playful, bouncy, cartoonish energy, with clay taxis and clay buildings in the background.”

  • Clay Sticks & Garbage Can (9:16):
    “Blue and yellow clay stick figures walk along a New York sidewalk. The blue stick kicks a clay garbage can despite the yellow stick shouting ‘No, no!’ The lid pops off and clay garbage spills out.”

  • Clay Sticks Trampoline Village (9:16):
    “Two clay sticks, one blue and one yellow, jump and laugh on a trampoline in a colorful Japanese-style clay village. Chickens roam the ground, birds pause on rooftops to watch, atmosphere lively and exciting.”

Our Takeaway
Veo3 is a powerful tool for designers, marketers, and storytellers. Creating vertical cinematic shorts means you can produce unique, branded content faster than ever. What you see in our first tests is just the beginning.
