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.
Michael Philips promoted a mountain bike race in Trinidad and it happen I was in Trinidad the same time as the race. I knew he had this event because he promoted it on Facebook. I did reply I might be attending as I was not sure I would be in Trinidad at the same time.
I have never seen a mountain bike race live and I my bike is a mountain bike. I never rode on a mountain bike trail or even seen one in person. The current champion happens to work at Mike’s Bikes and is the favored to win today.
I started writing this post in my car because it was raining when I got here. I am using my Motorola Xoom to write this post and take the pictures of this event.
It stopped raining and the race has not started as yet so this will be a muddy one.

This Mother’s Day my mom wanted to go to a casino. A few weeks earlier she went to Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood with her seniors group from Palm Beach and she enjoyed herself so much that’s what she wanted to go to a Casino on Mother’s Day.
So this Mothers Day we were going to take my mom to the HardRock casino. She had won $157 last time and started only with $15 that was given to the seniors to start them off.
We did go to a Casino but ended up at the Isle Casino in Pompano Florida. The Isle casino is also a horse racing track.
My mom wanted a players card that tracks your gambling and gives you points from the amount of money you spend. When the casino gives you the card you get to spin a wheel for a prize. The prizes range from $5 to start gambling too $500 cash.
My mom spun and got $5 on her card to gamble. It just missed the $500 prize by centermeters. When I spun the wheel the people in line cheered I won the $500 cash.
We are not big gamblers we only played the penny machines. It took us an hour to play about $25 dollars. The casino had a Mother’s day buffet that everyone was raving about. It was $16.95 per person for the buffet. I asked my mom if she wanted a Roti which is one of our favorite Trinidadian foods. She said yes but where were we going to get a Roti.
I knew of a resturant that was about 20 minutes away Joy’s Roti shop. So off we went to Joys Roti shop. I ordered 2 Rotis and other Trinidadian foods for my sister and her family. They drop my mom off at the casino but did not stay because of her kids. Instead they went to a movie a few miles away. After eating we headed back to the casino to gamble a little more.
We played a few more penny machines lost $10 then moved on to the high rollers machine the 5 cents machine. The $10 dollars we put in it was gone in seconds and that was to rich for our blood. My mom saw a penny machine when we first got to the casino that she wanted to play but when we went to that machine the same people were playing that machine for hours now. So we went looking for another machine but the machine we picked was in a tournament area and we were kicked out. On the way out we saw the original machines we wanted to play was empty now.
We hustled over to the machines and my mom picked one but I said use the other one of the two. We put $20 in the machine and that $20 went to $23.15. The second spin that machine gave us 20 free spins that paid us $796. I instantly cashed out the receipt and told my mom I would give her $20 more to play.
That $20 went down to $4 and the back up too $44. I cashed out again and told my mom let’s run away because we are ahead and our luck might run out. She hesitated, the gambling bug caught her. It did not matter to me I was firm and we left the casino with over $1300 in winnings and all we spent was little over $40. So my mom and I enjoyed our day at the isles casino on Mother’s day.
