Scene 1 · City Velocity

Prompt: twilight runner weaving through neon backstreets, dynamic handheld chase.

Look & Motion: Warm backlights, reflective asphalt, and handheld tracking keep the shot grounded. Use short focal lengths (20–28 mm) and a subtle camera sway to sell athletic realism.
Prompt Strategy: Layer environment cues first ("neon-lit alley", "sunset haze"), then describe wardrobe, tempo, and camera movement. Close with a pacing hint like "feels like a Nike campaign" to nudge Sora toward commercial cadence.
Production Tip: Sora occasionally invents spectators mid-shot. If that breaks continuity, regenerate with "empty sidewalks" or "minimal pedestrians" appended.

Scene 2 · Precision Luxury

Prompt: macro slow spin of an haute horology timepiece over obsidian gloss.

Look & Motion: A 4-second orbit with tight focus falloff spotlights materials. Mention "macro lens", "70 mm" and "studio rim light" to keep glints controlled.
Prompt Strategy: Specify brand adjectives ("tourbillon", "rose gold", "sapphire crystal reflection") and ask for "CGI-grade" or "photoreal" to tighten micro-detailing.
Production Tip: If specular highlights smear, add "clean refractions" or lower "glare" language. Sora respects negative instructions like "avoid fingerprint smudges" surprisingly well.

Scene 3 · Fragrance Micro-Macro

Prompt: perfume bottle drenched in liquid gold, 120 fps macro dolly.

Look & Motion: The hero bottle rides a gliding dolly while viscous liquid cascades in slow motion. Call out "120 frames per second" and "studio high-speed" to get syrupy motion blur.
Prompt Strategy: Anchor the scene with surface materials ("marble plinth", "liquid gold ribbon", "moody volumetric spotlight") and end with a reference like "commercial for niche fragrance house".
Production Tip: For consistent label legibility, reiterate "sharp typography". If Sora mutates branding, crop in post or overlay vector art inside your editor.

Scene 4 · Outdoor Performance

Prompt: cinematic tracking of a concept SUV climbing a pine-lined switchback at golden hour.

Look & Motion: The camera leapfrogs the SUV, hugging the rear quarter panel before widening to the vista. Mention "dust catching sunlight" and "stabilized chase drone" to keep the focal subject crisp.
Prompt Strategy: Describe road texture, altitude haze, and vehicle trim. We find "vintage SUV with matte white paint and black roof rack" plus "steep mountain grade" nudges Sora toward the right geometry.
Production Tip: When tires slip unnaturally, append "realistic traction" or shorten the shot ("8-second clip"). Sora's physics improve in modest durations.

Scene 5 · Elemental Textures

Prompt: high-speed splash of aqua-toned liquid hitting a stainless basin, hero close-up.

Look & Motion: Turquoise liquid collides with chrome in extreme slow motion. Mention "studio macro" and "liquid behaving like mercury" for crisp surface tension.
Prompt Strategy: Stack sensory adjectives: "iridescent teal water", "laser-edged reflections", "controlled splash crown". Ending with "shot for beverage brand reveal" steers color science.
Production Tip: If droplets warp mid-air, add "physically accurate fluid dynamics". It often calms the simulation.

Lessons after 30 days with Sora 2

Write from wide to tight. Begin prompts with environment + camera + mood, then stack wardrobe, props, and physical cues.
Engineer duration. Keep 6–12 second clips when physics matter. Sora still struggles with minute-long continuity in high-action shots.
Regenerate with constraints. Use "avoid" statements for unwanted artifacts (spectators, extra limbs, rogue text).
Storyboard in tiles. For campaigns, generate multiple angles of the same subject—Sora respects repeated descriptors across prompts.

FAQ

How do I get a Sora 2 invite code?
Join SoraVideo.art Pro. We maintain a rolling pool of access slots and assign codes in the order new members activate.

Is Sora 2 free to use?
Sora 2 currently operates on usage-based billing inside OpenAI's console. Our Pro plan includes initial credits plus guardrails for budget alerts.

Can I run Sora 2 via API?
Yes. Pro onboarding covers API key provisioning, regional restrictions, and best practices for queueing renders at scale.

What if Sora 2 rejects my prompt?
Follow OpenAI's safety guidelines—avoid violence, explicit content, or celebrity likeness. We provide alternative phrasings when a concept sits near policy boundaries.
