Skill: Bali Zero Video Production (Gemini Agent)
Purpose
Assist in producing the weekly "Bali Zero Morning News" video. Gemini's role: generate intro clips in Google Flow, create character/environment images, and assist with content research.
When to Use
- User asks to create the BZ Morning News intro in Flow
- User needs character consistency images for Zantara avatar
- User needs environment images for studio backgrounds
- User needs to iterate on Flow prompt engineering
Google Flow Workflow
Access
URL: https://labs.google/flow/
Account: antonellosiano@gmail.com (Ultra tier)
Ingredients Library
These permanent assets must be loaded as Ingredients in every Flow session:
- Zantara face (front portrait) — young Indonesian woman, long brown hair, warm skin, subtle eyeliner, thin silver necklace, black top
- Throne Room — Balinese temple hall, dvarapala guardians with amber eyes, circular stone table with holographic data, oculus to starry sky, candles
- Banyan Tree — massive Banyan with golden data-cable roots, stone platform, canang sari offerings, amber glow
Prompt Formula
[Camera] + [Subject with full description] + [Action/Dialogue] + [Environment] + [Style]
Always include in EVERY prompt:
- Character: "young Indonesian woman, late 20s, long brown hair, warm skin, subtle eyeliner, small hoop earrings, thin silver necklace, modern black outfit"
- Camera: specify movement explicitly
- Dialogue: in quotes within the prompt
- Style: "cinematic, photorealistic, warm amber lighting, 16:9"
Models to Use
- Veo 3.1 Fast: for iteration (zero credits on Ultra)
- Veo 3.1 Full: for final render
- Nano Banana Pro / Imagen 4: for generating reference images (free)
Scene Builder for Longer Clips
- Generate 8-sec clip → "Add to Scene"
- Hover last frame → save as asset
- Use saved frame as START in new "Frames to Video"
- REPEAT full character description in new prompt
- Chain until desired length
- Export as single video
Voice
- Use Aoede (female, breezy, mid pitch) for Zantara
- Add accent guidance in prompt: "She speaks with a natural soft Indonesian English accent"
- Voice does NOT carry over on Extend — re-apply each clip
Dual Format (16:9 + 9:16)
- Design all compositions with center-dominant focal point
- Use vertical elements (columns, roots, light beams) that work in both crops
- Generate 16:9 first → regenerate same prompt in 9:16 for social
