Transforming Nano Banana 3D Figurines into Dynamic Videos with Grok: A Free Guide

The Gemini Nano Banana AI, a Google-developed image model, is captivating social media, with users worldwide creating and sharing 3D figurines. The demand is so high that users occasionally encounter messages indicating high traffic. This innovative model empowers users to generate realistic 3D figurines from photos of various subjects, all without any cost. The community is expanding beyond static images, exploring video creation for their 3D models. Grok emerges as a cost-free option for animating these creations, in contrast to platforms like OpenAI’s Sora or Google’s Veo 3. To use Grok for this purpose, launch the app via your mobile device, web browser, or X (formerly Twitter). Select the “Imagine” function from the left-hand menu. Upload your Nano Banana-created 3D model and select “Make Video.” Your video will be ready in moments, including background music. Revisions are possible, and finished videos can be downloaded and distributed. The prompt to use includes: “Keep the figurine mostly static with subtle life touches—blinking, slight breathing, minimal hand movement. Animate the camera around the figurine in smooth cinematic motion: gentle pans, zoom-ins, rotations, and depth-of-field shifts. Place the figurine in a realistic, well-lit room with soft shadows and reflections. Ensure lighting and perspective feel natural, emphasizing the 3D form.”
