What looked like a breathtaking drone shot of me and my campervan in New Zealand was, in fact, pure AI magic. In my recent DJI Neo 2 unboxing , I teased a sweeping aerial clip: me standing beside a campervan, camera rising to reveal Mt. Cook’s snow-capped peaks. The truth? I hadn’t even left for New Zealand yet.   Instead, I turned to Google VEO 3.1, uploading a selfie and crafting one detailed cinematic prompt. The result was a hyper-realistic drone-style video that looked authentic enough to pass as real footage.   Here’s the full prompt I used:   "A real drone-style cinematic shot. Begin with a close, steady view of the person from the uploaded photo standing beside a white campervan parked on a gravel pull-off at New Zealand’s Mt. Cook region. The scenery features snow-capped mountains, turquoise glacial lakes, and dramatic valleys. The drone hovers at eye level, locked onto the person, capturing natural sunlight, crisp shadows, and ultra-clean realism....

I unbox the new DJI Neo 2 to see if this 153g drone is the ultimate travel gear. Watch the full unboxing and my risky indoor flight test here.  I needed a drone for my upcoming trip to New Zealand, but I wanted something lightweight and affordable.  The solution? The DJI Neo 2.

It’s midnight in Singapore. My friends are asleep. My wife says goodnight. But somewhere in Italy, a team of creatives is wide awake… learning AI video production with me on VEO 3 and JSON prompt writing.  “Adrian, are you really teaching at midnight?” Yes. That was the question I asked myself, too. But when a communication agency in Italy reached out to learn  AI video production with VEO 3 and JSON prompt writing , I knew time zones and languages weren’t going to stop us. So, at midnight Singapore time, I turned on my webcam, logged into Google Meet, and there they were — a team of curious creatives ready to explore how AI could transform their video production workflow. We spoke different languages. They used a translator add-on. I spoke in English. Yet, what connected us was something universal:  the language of storytelling and creativity . I didn’t just show them buttons or features. Instead, I drew from my 20+ years in physical video production — because the same p...
