Sora Storyboard

Plan the sequence before generating many clips. The source describes a Sora 2 workflow; product availability and controls should be checked separately from these general production techniques.

#A small sequence

Three to five shots may be enough: establish setting/tone, show the central action or value, emphasize a detail, then close the message or leave action space. Too many disconnected shots weaken a short piece.

#Record per shot

Include the purpose, subject, action, framing, movement, duration and fixed style elements.

#Why storyboard first?

It exposes shots that do not advance the narrative, gives content/design/editing collaborators something concrete to discuss, and reduces wasted refinement.

#Practical sequence

Write the shots, generate a first pass for each, align style and rhythm, then choose which deserve further refinement.

When a workflow includes generated ambience, effects or dialogue, storyboard the audio relationships as well. Pictures that cut together can still fail through mismatched sound or emotional continuity.
