Making Video with Sora

One good clip is easy. A short story, where the same character walks through a world that holds together, is the hard part. This book is about that. A plain, practical guide to AI video generation with Sora, written for a beginner who wants coherent scenes and short stories, not one-off effects. It takes the narrative side seriously, and it is honest about where the tool fights you. Inside: - From clips to coherent scenes - Your first scene, grounded in a place and a mood - The prompt as a scene description, written like a story beat - Consistency: keeping a character and a world steady across shots - Motion, camera, and blocking that make a scene readable - Building a short sequence from a handful of beats - Selecting the take that serves the story - Fixing a scene that falls apart - Cutting shots into a finished piece, with sound - Rights, likeness, and responsible storytelling Every technique is taught by what it does and why, so it survives the tool's next update. No version numbers, no screenshots, no hype. This book will not claim the output is yours to sell or that you own the copyright — those terms differ by tool and change, and the law is unsettled. It will not help you fake a real person or present invented footage as real events. Coherent scenes, within reach. The story and the edit are still yours.
