    arguments={
        "prompt": "A woman looks into the camera, breathes in, then exclaims energetically, \"have you guys checked out Veo3 Image-to-Video on Fal? It's incredible!\"",
        "image_url": "https://storage.googleapis.com/falserverless/example_inputs/veo3-i2v-input.png"
    },
    with_logs=True,
    on_queue_update=on_queue_update,
)
print(result)
```

### JavaScript

    image_url: "https://storage.googleapis.com/falserverless/example_inputs/veo3-i2v-input.png"
  },
  logs: true,
  onQueueUpdate: (update) => {
    if (update.status === "IN_PROGRESS") {
      update.logs.map((log) => log.message).forEach(console.log);
