Hokusai-style great wave rendered as a woodblock print, the printed wave begins to move — foam claws curling, boats riding the swell — while the paper texture and registration marks stay perfectly still.

}Generate with this prompt →The magic is selective motion — 'the printed wave begins to move while the paper texture and registration marks stay perfectly still'. Calling out what does NOT move is what keeps it a living print rather than a 3D render. Animated woodblock with 'visible ink gradients and paper fibers' preserves the medium; the negative prompt bans photorealism and 3D depth that would flatten the effect.
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.
