"Retro arcade bedroom reveal" video Prompt Generation Comparison

This is an AI video generation comparison for text-to-video Thumbnail prompt:

Dolly zoom shot: An empty, light-blue bedroom with checkerboard floors and blank walls. A glowing Rubik’s Cube spins in the center, then explodes in pixelated light beams, shrinking and disappearing as bed, a CRT TV, a lava lamp, a bright arcade machine, a few extra-small cassette tapes, posters of 80s icons, a neon sign, a plush Pac-Man ghost, and a Gameboy rapidly but neatly assemble around the room, thoughtfully positioned, transforming it into a cozy, vibrant 80s arcade dream bedroom.

Camera motions and effects: dolly-zoom

This prompt can get in trouble with Flow's censorship likely for calling for 'posters of 80s icons'. Did generate for me on second attempt.

Seedance 1 keeps putting furniture by the door, seemingly with obsession, as I've even tried moving the door away, replacing with window, asking for solid doorless walls - nope, the door has to be there and there has to be a piece of furniture blocking it at least partially. This one just has Pac-Man ghost sitting there which looks fine.

PixVerse just won't start with an empty room, even if you add ((empty)). But it knows how to move things around in a fun way.

This is pretty good work!

This prompt tests:

A dolly zoom shot transforms an empty pastel bedroom into a cozy 80s arcade dream. A glowing Rubik’s Cube explodes in pixelated light, triggering the fast, seamless assembly of retro decor.
These are the things to watch out for here:

Do all objects obey basic physical logic (e.g. no floating, distorted scaling, or clipping)?

Does the room start completely empty, with light-blue walls and checkerboard floors?

Is a glowing, spinning Rubik’s Cube shown in the center of the room?

Does the Rubik’s Cube explode into pixelated light beams, then visibly shrink and disappear?

Do the listed items (bed, CRT TV, lava lamp, arcade machine, cassette tapes, posters, neon sign, plush ghost, Gameboy) assemble rapidly and neatly after the cube disappears?

Are all items thoughtfully arranged rather than scattered randomly or levitating in the air?

Is the camera movement smooth throughout, with no jitter or unnatural shifts?

Check out the results from FLOW (Veo 3 Fast) vs Freepik (Seedance 1.0 Pro) vs Hailuo AI x Minimax (Hailuo 02) vs Veo (Veo 2) vs PixVerse (Pixverse V4.5) vs Wan (Online Platform) (Wan 2.2) for similar or identical prompts side-by-side.
