My first Sora video is live.
I did a quick prompt-style setup where Sora asked me to say three numbers
and turn left and right — and it generated a cinematic
“recording studio rap” video about making videos with the Sora app.
Quick note: I’m embedding this from YouTube instead of uploading the video file to WordPress,
so my site stays fast and I’m not burning up hosting storage/bandwidth.

What surprised me
- It felt almost too easy. Minimal input → a polished cinematic result.
- The “studio” vibe was spot on (lighting, camera feel, atmosphere).
- This changes how I think about content. Ideas can become visuals fast.
Why I’m posting this on CurtisMatthews.com
- So I can document my first real experiment with Sora and AI video.
- So I can build a simple library of what works, what doesn’t, and what I learn.
- So future videos have context — this is the starting line.
What’s next
- More Sora experiments: different prompts, styles, and “rules.”
- Longer-form videos (not just Shorts) when the concept deserves it.
- Better hooks and story structure so the video isn’t just cool — it’s memorable.
