hi my name is David Sheldrick and today I'm going to show you how I make videos like this Oh my god I'm just playing with them now Yeah I used to do DP and direct a lot of music videos before COVID We followed like a kind of a a bit of a format to make sure we could film the whole thing in one day And then after we've sort of shot one location in one way we then move to location two We do the same thing again Location three same thing again I basically decided to
kind of like take this approach when making videos or music videos with Sora So step one is creative Before we even start assembling anything we spend a good sort of at least half a day or a day just messing around with different creative directions One of the best places to you know do research or to find new creative is on the explore pages of you know for example Sora So if you go to the Sora website you will see there's a big feed on the homepage of what everyone else is rendering and you get to
see their prompts as well So this is one of the fastest ways not only to sort of look at a whole massive variation of creative but also a very fast way to learn how to prompt You know there's two parts to this There is sort of what I would say the scenes which is you know location one location two location three We're going to leave that for now But one thing we are going to think about is what does this world look like so you know is it a period piece is it a sci-fi is
it set in the countryside is it set in the grand palace at this point we are going to essentially do a bit of world building So I'm going to use chat GPT to help us with creating the style or the preset Um so for this I put expand this prompt and make it more detailed for use in Sora video rendering as a preset I have created a little diagram here for you which basically shows you know our style as the whole So 18th century Marian Twuinette as like uh the overall or overarching style and within
that we have creative one creative 2 three four five six and you can keep going So for creative one I've got hair and makeup close-ups Creative two uh shots within sort of hallways and ballrooms in these sort of like grand palatial rooms Uh creative three hunting and then creative four are gardens So in Hampton Court Palace in London if you've ever been has a big hedge maze It's always perfectly cut So uh creative five is horses And then creative six kinugi models So kinugi is a a form of Japanese art where they essentially they fix
broken pottery using gold So you see these beautiful sort of old wares that have been recrafted uh with gold to fill the cracks And I thought that's you know it's quite beautiful So next we are moving on to rendering We've got all of our creatives Uh we got our style You know just take that style you go to manage presets and you paste it in here And done And then you can come back and modify that I just run this many I run each creative many many times And I do chuck in sort of like
a second prompt here which is usually a dance sequence So here you got close-up of a Korean K-pop model getting her hair and makeup done wearing a huge 18th century Marian Twinette wig white powder makeup bolt camera shot of ethnically diverse K-pop couture fashion while dancing in unison dancing in a Queen's bedroom crunk dancing street dance dancing with attitude dynamic dance movement dynamic music video camera work Next is the music I usually use artlist.io for my stock music but the quality is generally really good or at least for now much better than AI generated music
So the first thing that I do is I drag the track in The assembly is essentially taking all of our footage that we've rendered and we drag it all into the timeline and we create what I call a sausage uh sausage is just all of the footage in one straight line just to show you kind of like a basic structure that we'll try to stick with which you know is sort of comes from our creative structure that we talked about earlier and I showed you earlier So I have already dragged all mine in So you
can see here if I quickly scrub through So what I'll first do is with these shots that essentially have two cuts in them chop that there And so we'll listen to the intro one more time There's the bass hit Right But this piece of footage is like three times longer So go into this command R accelerate Let's try accelerate it 300% I'm going to trim the front a bit I want to just make this piece of footage I want her eyes to just open just as the base hits I then want it to go into
this macro shot of this girl with the lace gloves So let's see Cool Okay So I have added a few more in Now I'm just speeding things along now So I'm not going to do that entire assembly in front of you Uh that will take one or two hours So I've spent sort of another 20 30 minutes just getting more of an assembly in And yeah so we have now uh a few more scenes dropped in So I'm going to press play uh just from Creative 2 We'll press play and then I'll show you sort
of how the next scenes line up and I'm just going to keep on adding in I'm going to keep on working through these creatives I'm going to make sure I'm cutting at the drops Cool So I have now jumped ahead and I have finished the assembly It took me about 4 hours in total from the B to the A with the in the valley up six Kelly F you pay me like my name was Sally made I hopped on the planet catch a play in the don't drown trying to catch this wave don't drown trying
to catch this wave Ain't no stopping me It's a strong rubbery It's been a patch of company design on your feet just to me Ain't no stopping me It's a strong robbery They can't do is for me just to say the least I mean your hair free and I ain't sign the least And you know we blow big bags hauling them all Yeah we popping them big tags Make a pro do whiplash If we dripping too hard like we leaning on kickstand Have you ever blew a couple stacks forget that Lost 100 racks Ain't tripping
no you get it back I'm the bounce back kid I invented that I don't like energy So I'm burning up the sage and I'm burning bridg just to play friends trying to hate I came in first place but still showed up later trying to couple too like someone up the lad and I ain't going to play baby girl I can't slay Kill them all dead no ain't no party till I walked in and turned out the play Ain't no stop me going
