}Generate with this prompt →'Handheld tracking alongside, slight lag on the jump' is the single most important line — that intentional camera lag is exactly how real operators shoot chases, and it reads as human rather than robotic. Golden-hour side light throws long shadows that make each vault legible. The negative prompt guards against 'wires clipping, floating limbs', the two failure modes that ruin parkour clips.
Paste the JSON straight into Veo 3 or 3.1, or hit Copy as prose for the flattened sentence version — both work, JSON just keeps the fields easy to tweak. To change the look, re-roll one field at a time (swap the camera_motion or lighting and keep everything else fixed). Want a different subject in the same style? Open it in the Veo 3 prompt generator and edit the fields.
