Zero to Director: Multi-Shot AI Video with Veo 3.1

You’ve seen the polished Veo 3.1 demos. A perfect, cinematic shot. It looks like magic. You know the tool is powerful, but no one is showing you how they’re really using it.

This is the gap everyone ignores. Making great AI video isn’t just about the tool; it’s about the workflow. It’s about the hundreds of micro-decisions, the failures, the fixes, and the creative solutions that bridge the gap from a 8-seconds video to a full AI Film.

Explaining the workflow behind a video is hard. And that’s exactly what I’m here to do.

That’s why I made this one:

Zero to Director

I’m opening up my complete creative playbook. No gatekeeping. You’ll see the full process: the script, the shot decisions, the prompts, the problems I hit, and the solutions I used to fix them.

For the last two months, I’ve been perfecting this workflow to do one thing: translate my sci-fi story, “The Grind,” into a serial video.

Now, you’ll watch me do it, shot by shot. This is the Zero to Director course in practice.

Pressure-testing Veo 3.1

It’s a complete case study on Google’s new Veo 3.1, where I’m pressure-testing its two most powerful narrative features to build a scene from The Grind:

1. Ingredients to Video: How I use it to get consistent character and style from reference images.
2. First and Last Frame: How I use it to force the exact narrative and transitions I want.

You will see exactly how and when I used each method, the raw results, and the exact prompts I used to get the final, polished shot.

This is the real process.
