One-Take Foot Chase Sequence (Sora 2)
Directs a continuous-take chase in Sora 2 using a professional shot brief: lens, camera rig, grade, and soundscape specified like a DP's call sheet.
Prompt variables

Continuous single-take action shot. {{runner_description}} sprints through {{environment}}, pursued by {{pursuer_description}} half a block behind.
Camera: gimbal-stabilized tracking shot holding a low three-quarter front angle on the runner, 24mm wide lens for speed distortion at the frame edges, about two meters ahead of them, matching their pace. The runner {{obstacle_action}} mid-shot — vaulting a market stall, cutting through hanging laundry — and the camera whips a few degrees to follow, never losing them.
Look: shot as if on digital cinema camera with vintage anamorphic glass, high-contrast grade with {{grade_palette}}, motion blur on the background streaking past, practical light sources flaring briefly across the lens. Environment is alive: bystanders turning, pigeons scattering, a vendor snatching goods out of the way.
Sound: pounding footsteps and hard breathing close and present, city noise doppler-shifting past, one metallic crash as the obstacle scatters, a distant shout from the pursuer. No music.
Directing notes for Sora 2:
- The brief is structured like a call sheet (camera / look / sound) on purpose — Sora 2 responds to professional production language and holds an aesthetic much better when lensing, rig, and grade are all named.
- One camera behavior for the whole take ("tracking, two meters ahead"). The whip to follow the vault is a reaction, not a second move — that distinction keeps the take coherent.
- Give the runner exactly ONE obstacle beat per clip. Chain clips for a longer chase, keeping the lens/grade sentence identical across generations so cuts match.
- Environmental reactions (bystanders, pigeons) are what make speed feel real — without them the runner sprints through a diorama.
