Sora prompt — CLIP 1 (15s) “Orbital vault heist” The guide recommends writing prompts like a storyboard: framing, DOF, action in beats, lighting/palette, and keeping each shot’s action simple and timed. OpenAI Cookbook STYLE / FORMAT: photoreal cinematic sci-fi + fantasy VFX, crisp texture detail, subtle film grain, high contrast, controlled handheld energy, minimal motion blur, occasional glitch artifacts only when the Registry reacts. SETTING: cathedral-like orbital vault corridor: metallic ribs, holographic “stained glass” panels, cold vapor vents, floating security drones. Avoid logos and tiny readable text. LIGHTING + PALETTE: harsh white top light + cyan rim light; palette anchors: cyan, teal, deep violet blacks; blood-red UI accents when alarms trigger. OpenAI Cookbook MAIN CHARACTER (repeat EXACTLY): Kai (male Asian, 22), lean athletic build. Face: light-medium skin, straight black hair with an undercut and long side-swept fringe, one thin silver streak on the fringe, dark brown eyes, small mole under the left eye, faint bruising on the right cheekbone, no beard. Wardrobe: fitted black techwear bodysuit (matte), dark graphite long coat (mid-calf, high collar, slim fit) with teal luminous piping along seams, charcoal armored chest harness (two straps crossing sternum), fingerless tactical gloves, utility belt with small pouches, reinforced knee panels, black combat boots with metal toe caps. White scarf wrap (short) printed with faint glowing rune glyphs (cyan). Weapons/props: rune-katana (black blade with cyan circuit-runes), palm-sized Namecore crystal (glows cyan with red ink cracks when stressed). CINEMATOGRAPHY: Lens: 35mm for wides, 50mm for inserts. DOF: shallow on closeups, deeper on corridor. Camera movement: one clear move per shot (push-in, tracking, or whip-pan). OpenAI Cookbook SHOT LIST (15s total): 0.00–2.00 — Extreme close-up on Kai’s eyes; HUD reflections flicker; a red warning pulse appears. 2.00–4.00 — Wide tracking: Kai sprints down the orbital vault corridor; coat snaps; drones wake up. 4.00–6.00 — Medium: Kai draws rune-katana; one clean slash destroys a drone; sparks and shards fly (no gore). 6.00–8.00 — Insert: Kai grabs the Namecore from a floating containment ring; ring fractures like a broken halo. 8.00–10.00 — Over-shoulder to terminal: giant legible text flashes “AUTH FAIL” then “TRUE NAME DETECTED” in blood-red UI with slight drip effect. 10.00–12.00 — Brutal hit: turret fire grazes Kai’s shoulder; quick blood smear on glove; he stumbles one step, continues. 12.00–15.00 — Airlock: door seals; Kai leaps into vacuum; a circular rune-portal rips open in space; hard cut mid-jump. DIALOGUE / VO (short, intense): OpenAI Cookbook Kai (whisper): “They archived my name…” Kai (through teeth): “I’m taking it back.” Kai (final): “Open the gate.” SOUND: low vault hum, alarm stingers, katana energy hiss, vacuum thud + muffled heartbeat on portal tear.

15s

Copy/paste into Sora to reproduce this clip.

Sora prompt — CLIP 2 (15s) “Floating ruin + AI-dragon” TITLE: Floating Ruin + AI-Dragon — OATH SEAL (15s) STYLE / FORMAT: photoreal dark fantasy with sci-fi glitch, epic scale, crisp stone texture, floating dust motes, rune light with physics-based volumetrics, high contrast, subtle film grain, minimal motion blur. Brutal trailer pacing. SETTING: ancient floating ruin over an abyss: suspended arches, broken stairs, rune-etched stone, statues of fallen knights. No logos, no branded signage, no small readable text. LIGHTING + PALETTE: moonless darkness with cyan rune-glow as key light, violet shadows, harsh white specular highlights, occasional crimson UI overlays when the dragon locks on. Palette anchors: cyan/teal + deep violet + harsh white + crimson accents. MAIN CHARACTER (repeat EXACTLY): Kai (male Asian, 22), lean athletic build. Face: light-medium skin, straight black hair with an undercut and long side-swept fringe, one thin silver streak on the fringe, dark brown eyes, small mole under the left eye, faint bruising on the right cheekbone, no beard. Wardrobe: fitted black techwear bodysuit (matte), dark graphite long coat (mid-calf, high collar, slim fit) with teal luminous piping along seams, charcoal armored chest harness (two straps crossing sternum), fingerless tactical gloves, utility belt with small pouches, reinforced knee panels, black combat boots with metal toe caps. White scarf wrap (short) printed with faint glowing rune glyphs (cyan). Weapons/props: rune-katana (black blade with cyan circuit-runes), palm-sized Namecore crystal (glows cyan with crimson ink cracks when stressed). CREATURE: AI-dragon made of obsidian plates + cable tendons; eyes are red UI apertures; roar causes brief pixel-glitch ripples in the air; wing edges are holographic noise. CINEMATOGRAPHY: 28–35mm for scale, 50mm for Namecore closeups. One clear action per shot. Use a dramatic vertical drop camera at the start, then wide reveal, then fast dash impact. SHOT LIST (15s total): 0.00–2.00 — Kai drops through a circular rune-portal into a sunless floating ruin, lands on one knee; dust rises upward (reversed gravity). 2.00–4.00 — Closeup: Namecore pulses cyan; crimson ink cracks crawl like living circuitry; nearby stone runes ignite in sync. 4.00–6.00 — Wide: suspended arches over abyss; knight statues line path; barcode-like sigils on foreheads; faint red scanlines flicker in their eyes. 6.00–8.00 — Sky fractures: AI-dragon assembles from obsidian plates and cables; glitch ripples distort the air. 8.00–10.00 — Kai presses Namecore to chest harness; a circular biometric rune lattice blooms from his palm and scarf glyphs; giant overlay text: “OATH SEAL // VERIFIED” with a wet crimson-ink stamp effect. 10.00–12.00 — Action: Kai dash-steps and delivers one clean rune-katana slash; cyan arc trail; dragon faceplate fractures into glowing glyph shards and sparks. 12.00–15.00 — Finale: Kai plants blade tip into stone; circular rune array locks shut like a vault door; dragon is pulled into a spiral glyph vortex and collapses into burning rune fragments; end text: “A TRUE NAME IS NOT FOR SALE.” Cut to black. DIALOGUE / VO (intense, minimal): Kai: “A name isn’t property.” Kai: “It’s a promise.” Kai (final): “Witness me.” SOUND: abyss wind, distant rune choir, glitch-roar, bass hit on “OATH SEAL,” sharp impact hit on slash, heavy silence after the seal locks.
