Why this prompt works

How to use it in Sora

Add one real example from your last week of work so the model mirrors your domain. When mood artists review output, they should see first successful run with safe defaults without hunting for it. If the first answer is vague, reply with the constraint again: color story locked. Use plain and encouraging follow-ups only — mixing tones mid-thread confuses OpenAI models. Save the winning variant for acid rain — teams with a short library ship faster.

Swap the audience once. If the acid rain piece still works, the core is solid. For acid rain in cyberpunk, the failure mode is usually vague audience. This prompt blocks that by design — especially "color story locked". Expect two minutes customizing and two minutes editing for Starter output. OpenAI models still need your facts for acid rain; they cannot invent metrics or brand rules. concept artists and worldbuilders teams bookmark slug acid-rain-starter when first successful run with safe defaults matters.

Step-by-step

  1. Open Sora and paste the prompt block unchanged.
  2. Replace placeholders with your project facts (mood artists, offer, timeline).
  3. Confirm the constraint is still visible: color story locked.
  4. If output is vague, ask Sora to restate assumptions as questions first.
  5. Reply with one fix list, then regenerate the final version only.

Common mistakes

Expert notes

OpenAI users working on acid rain in cyberpunk should treat "color story locked" as non-negotiable. Neon cities, tech-noir mood, and future-grit details. When mood artists run the Starter variant, they usually care about first successful run with safe defaults more than length.

If video output feels generic, re-paste color story locked as the first follow-up message — do not rewrite the whole prompt.
