More from each model

Kling 3.0

A woman in a yellow knit sweater and round glasses walks from a bright kitchen into a dim hallway and back toward camera, handheld follow, her face, hair and sweater stay identical the whole way
A chef in a white apron plates a dish while the camera orbits half a turn around the counter, his face and apron stay consistent through the move, warm restaurant light
A BMX rider launches off a dirt ramp, spins a full 360 in the air and lands clean, dust kicks up, low angle tracking shot, golden hour

Veo 3.1

A long passenger train curves along a single track through a deep wooded valley at golden hour, low sun flaring between tall pines, wildflowers and long grass thrashing in the draught as the carriages pass. The camera tracks alongside at the speed of the train, the forest and a hazy ridge rising above it. Audio: steel wheels ringing on rail, a low horn far off down the valley, wind through grass.
Floodlights snap on one bank at a time over an empty football stadium at dusk, rain drifting through the beams, camera tilting up from the centre circle. Audio: four heavy contactor thuds, rain on plastic seats, a low wind through the stands.
A young woman stands inside a phone box at night, filmed from outside through rain-streaked glass, mouthing words into the handset. We never hear her voice. Heavy rain falls through the streetlight above, running down the panes and softening her face, wet road glinting in the foreground. The camera holds completely still. Audio: rain hammering on the roof of the box, water running in a gutter, one car passing far off. No speech, no music.
