AI Room Unboxing Videos Went Viral. Here’s How to Make Them (JSON Prompt Inside!)
The internet is currently obsessed with AI room unboxing videos: short, satisfying clips where an entire room's decor flies out of a single box and assembles itself. This guide provides everything you need to know to create your own, from the best AI models to use, to the exact prompting structure that brings these digital rooms to life. Let's get started.
Head to getimg.ai's Video Generator and start creating viral AI room unboxing clips right now. It's easier than you think!
What Is the AI Box Room Trend?
Imagine this: An empty room. One sealed box in the center. No hands, no visible construction, no people. And then: action.
The box shakes. It opens. And suddenly, furniture and décor come flying out, assembling mid-air with choreographed precision. A credenza lands. A rug unfurls. A record player spins. Boom. You’ve got a full interior design story in 8 seconds flat.
There’s something deeply satisfying about things assembling themselves. It taps into the same dopamine that makes you watch IKEA build animations or time-lapse garden makeovers.
Bonus: they look wildly impressive on your feed… but anyone can make them with the right tools and prompts.
Google Veo 3 + Structured JSON Prompts = 🔥
One reason these AI box room clips feel so clean and cinematic? They use structured prompts, often written in JSON format.
Instead of vague natural language, structured prompts break the scene into clear sections like:
"scene_description"
"camera_setup"
"assembled_elements"
"timeline"
"audio"
This format gives the model crystal-clear instructions, controlling what appears, when, how it moves, what it sounds like, and how the final result should feel.
It’s a growing trend in 2024–2025, especially with models like Google Veo 3, which are built to interpret structured prompts directly. It also makes editing and reusing prompts way easier. You can just swap a few values and rerun it.
How to Create One (Step by Step)
1. Pick the Right Model
First, go to our Video Generator. Use the Google Veo 3 model for best results. It’s smooth, cinematic, and supports 8-second clips with a consistent wide-angle look (and, as mentioned, it supports JSON prompts).
Other models like Seedance 1.0 Lite (up to 10s), Minimax 02, or Kling might work too, but Veo 3 is the most consistent. Just adjust your timeline to match their output length.
Use 16:9 aspect ratio for the most natural layout.
2. Build Your Prompt Like This:
Scene Description
Set the vibe. Mention lighting, room style, materials.
A serene, bare space with tatami flooring and shoji screen walls. Natural morning light filters through rice paper panels.
Camera Setup
Keep it still.
"Single, unmoving wide-angle perspective. Full duration is a still frame except for unfolding elements."
Key Elements
What’s the box like?
"A simple, unlabeled wooden crate"
Assembled Elements
List every item that should appear from the box:
"low chabudai table"
"floor cushions (zabuton)"
"hanging scroll (kakemono)"
"ceramic tea set"
"bamboo mat"
"bonsai tree"
"incense holder"
"paper lantern"
Negative Prompts
Avoid chaos with clear exclusions:
["no logos", "no Western decor", "no fast transitions", "no voiceover"]
Timeline
Break your 8 seconds into precise actions. It controls what appears, when, and how. If character limit prevents you from incorporating the entire prompt structure, you can just use the timeline and skip all the previous elements.
- sequence: 1
timestamp: "00:00-00:01"
action: "A plain wooden crate rests on the floor in the soft morning light. The camera does not move."
audio: "Ambient wind and subtle rustling of leaves."
- sequence: 2
timestamp: "00:01-00:02"
action: "The top of the crate slides open gently, as if pushed by unseen hands. No sudden motion."
audio: "Wood sliding softly, a faint wooden creak."
- sequence: 3
timestamp: "00:02-00:06"
action: "Seen from the fixed camera perspective, every item in the 'assembled_elements' list rises gracefully from the crate. One by one, pieces hover gently, unfold, and settle in quiet, deliberate movements—a mat rolls out, the scroll unfurls, cushions lower to the floor. The tea room builds itself with calm, precise elegance."
audio: "Soft, natural sounds: rustling fabric, wood sliding, the clink of ceramic. Slow and meditative."
- sequence: 4
timestamp: "00:06-00:08"
action: "A single incense stick lights itself, releasing a thin wisp of smoke. The room is now complete and still."
audio: "Soft ignition sound. Calm silence returns."
Example Prompt
Take a look at a complete example of a prompt for an incredible ocean capsule unboxing:
Scene Description:
A clean, white room with smooth walls and soft, ambient top-down lighting. The space has an echoing stillness, like a sealed chamber.
camera_setup:
"Fixed, wide-angle camera. No movement throughout the duration."
key_elements:
"A glowing blue crate with condensation on the surface"
assembled_elements:
"aquarium-style furniture"
"bubble-glass coffee table"
"bioluminescent lighting panels"
"coral-inspired shelving"
"soft floating cushions"
"jellyfish-shaped lamps"
"holographic wall display with ocean visuals"
"pools of hovering water blobs"
"drifting kelp-like curtains"
timeline:
- sequence: 1
timestamp: "00:00-00:01"
action: "A glowing crate sits at the center of the white room. Beads of condensation form on the floor around it."
audio: "Muffled hum, like you’re underwater already."
- sequence: 2
timestamp: "00:01-00:02"
action: "The crate emits a deep pulse and splits open. Water hovers in suspended blobs that drift outward and begin shaping the space."
audio: "Low-frequency pulse. Liquid shifting gently."
- sequence: 3
timestamp: "00:02-00:06"
action: "From the unmoving camera view, each item from the 'assembled_elements' list forms from liquid or light: jellyfish lamps float into place, cushions expand midair, coral shelves rise from the floor, all unfolding within a fluid, dreamlike atmosphere."
audio: "Soothing aquatic tones—bubbles, subtle ambient whooshes, soft drips."
- sequence: 4
timestamp: "00:06-00:08"
action: "The last movement: a school of digital fish swims across the wall display. The room now resembles a serene underwater habitat."
audio: "Peaceful silence, faint electronic gurgling."
Tips for Going Viral
Here’s a couple of additional tips to help you craft the perfect prompt:
- Keep it still. No shaky cams. Static, wide-angle framing is part of the aesthetic.
- Don’t rush. Let the items appear rhythmically, not chaotically. Think ballet, not explosion.
- Choose your vibe. Cozy hygge? Zen minimalism? High-tech lab? The box room trend works with any style.
- Loop it clean. End on a “finished” shot that makes the viewer want to replay it.
