15s
Copy/paste into Sora to reproduce this clip.
Sora prompt — CLIP 1 (15s) “Bamboo forest ambush” STYLE: high-end 2D anime film look, cel-shaded with painterly backgrounds, dramatic rim light, heavy atmosphere, sakuga action beats, speed lines, impact frames, subtle film grain. SETTING: moonlit bamboo forest, thick rolling mist, wet leaves, floating paper charms, no branded symbols. MAIN CHARACTER (repeat EXACTLY): Ren (17), lean athletic build, slightly tan skin, amber eyes, small scar through right eyebrow, short spiky black hair with teal sheen. Outfit: fitted charcoal ninja undersuit; sleeveless crimson short haori jacket with orange stitched trim; black fingerless gloves; utility belt with small pouches; dark wrapped forearm bandages; shin guards over black leggings; scuffed open-toe ninja sandals. Black cloth headband with brushed steel plate engraved with an original spiral-crescent emblem (not the Leaf symbol). Short tanto strapped at lower back. EFFECTS: Spiral Chakra = electric cyan energy + red “ink-blood” calligraphy splashes (stylized, not gory). SHOT LIST (15s total): 0.00–2.00 wide moonlit bamboo forest, Ren drops in crouched, haori fluttering in mist. 2.00–3.50 insert headband plate glint; BIG overlay text: “MISSION: ESCORT” (clean white tech font) with faint red ink smear. 3.50–5.50 tracking run, parkour across bamboo trunks, speed lines; Ren carries scroll case. 5.50–7.00 impact frame: masked pursuer slices past; sparks, torn paper fragments; no gore. 7.00–9.00 close on Ren’s hand: quick thumb bite (minimal), smear seal mark on scroll; BIG overlay: “BLOOD SEAL // INIT” (red ink dripping effect). 9.00–11.00 sakuga burst: Spiral Chakra ignites around arms, cyan lightning + red calligraphy spirals. 11.00–13.00 brutal block: Ren deflects blade with forearm guard, guard cracks, he grimaces; BIG overlay: “VOW: PROTECT”. 13.00–15.00 mist parts: towering ink-spirit silhouette behind pursuer, glowing eyes; Ren turns shocked; hard cut. DIALOGUE (VO, intense): “I don’t run from fate… I run through it. Spiral Vow—activate!” SFX/MUSIC: taiko hits, sharp whooshes, bamboo creaks, low ominous note when ink-spirit appears.
CLIP 2 (15s) — Neon rooftop shrine showdown
15s
Copy/paste into Sora to reproduce this clip.
Sora prompt — CLIP 2 (15s) “Neon rooftop shrine showdown” STYLE: same anime film quality, but different palette: neon reflections + rain, stronger contrast, sakuga bursts, impact frames. SETTING: rainy neon city rooftop with small shrine gate, flickering lantern, puddles reflecting cyan and magenta, no logos. MAIN CHARACTER (repeat EXACTLY): Ren (17), lean athletic build, slightly tan skin, amber eyes, small scar through right eyebrow, short spiky black hair with teal sheen. Outfit: fitted charcoal ninja undersuit; sleeveless crimson short haori jacket with orange stitched trim; black fingerless gloves; utility belt with small pouches; dark wrapped forearm bandages; shin guards over black leggings; scuffed open-toe ninja sandals. Black cloth headband with brushed steel plate engraved with an original spiral-crescent emblem (not the Leaf symbol). Short tanto strapped at lower back. EFFECTS: Spiral Chakra electric cyan + red ink-blood calligraphy splashes (stylized). Villain’s entity = jagged black calligraphy wings, glowing red accents. SHOT LIST (15s total): 0.00–2.00 smash cut: Ren lands on neon rooftop in rain, sliding to a stop, water spray arcs. 2.00–4.00 overhead: glowing UI-like sigils form a targeting circle; BIG overlay: “LOCKED TARGET”. 4.00–6.00 villain reveal under lantern; ink-spirit blooms into calligraphy wings behind them. 6.00–8.00 chain kunai thrown; sparks scrape shrine floor, rain hiss; Ren dodges by inches. 8.00–10.00 Ren sees civilians far below (tiny silhouettes); he steps between edge and threat; BIG overlay: “TRUE STRENGTH = SHIELD”. 10.00–12.00 Ren slams palm down; Spiral Chakra erupts into a spiral barrier, cyan ring + red kanji (large, legible). 12.00–15.00 barrier absorbs strike; fractures into glowing paper-petal shards; Ren stands trembling but steady; end-frame BIG text: “PROTECT. THEN BECOME.” cut to black with thunder. DIALOGUE (VO): “Power that only wins… is weak. My vow is a shield. Spiral Vow: Guard the living.” SFX/MUSIC: rain roar, neon buzz, bass drop on barrier, thunder hit on final cut.
