A pear in a raincoat stands at the back of a crowded room, and slowly everyone turns to look at him. Ends on his mouth opening.
Open in the studioSora prompts for characters that act.
The difference between a clip that looks generated and one that looks directed is usually a single decision: did the prompt say what happens, or only what is in frame. These say what happens.
Turn one into an episode freeWhat makes these work
State the change
Something must be different at the end than at the start. That is what makes it a shot rather than a wallpaper.
Give a reason to look
A reaction, a reveal, a hand entering frame. Motion alone is not attention.
Keep the wardrobe short
Two identifying details maximum. A third one becomes negotiable to the model.
Name the light
Kitchen window, phone screen, police flashers. Light does more character work than adjectives.

Questions about this pack
How long should a Sora prompt be?
One or two sentences. The useful content is the action and the final frame, not the adjectives. Prompts that read like a paragraph of art direction tend to produce an average of everything mentioned rather than the specific thing you wanted.
How do I get a character to speak on camera?
Write the line, keep it under about four seconds spoken, and give the character a reason to say it in that moment. Long dialogue in a single clip is where most models start improvising.
Are these prompts Sora-specific?
No, and that is deliberate. They contain no proprietary syntax, so they work in any text-to-video model. Frutti is not affiliated with OpenAI or Sora.
