Create Animated Videos from Your Nano Banana 3D Figurines with Grok: A Step-by-Step, No-Cost Approach

The Gemini Nano Banana AI model is currently a trending topic on the internet, with social media users showing off realistic 3D figurines. This AI model from Google lets users create these figurines for free using uploaded photos. The trend is now focusing on bringing these 3D models to life through video animation. Grok offers a free platform for this purpose, differing from paid services like OpenAI’s Sora or Google’s Veo 3. To generate videos, open the Grok application via your smartphone, web browser or X (formerly Twitter). Within the app, find and select the “Imagine” function in the menu. Once you’ve done this, you can upload the 3D model created by Nano Banana and tap or click on the “Make Video” button. Your video will be generated in seconds with background music. If you are not satisfied, Grok allows you to regenerate the video. Once you are satisfied with the result, download the video and share it. The following prompt can be used: “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.”
