XML-Tagged Prompting — A Sora 2 Experiment
The prompt is written with XML tags like <video model="sora-2" duration="8s">, with look and style each broken into their own nodes. A third form of structured prompting — beyond JSON and YAML — rounding out the format collection.

✍️ Editor’s Notes
Nesting camera, lighting, character, and timeline in layered XML tags isn't new for hardcore Sora 2 users — it's basically turning natural-language prompting into an engineering spec. Upside: every parameter is independently tunable. Downside: information density gets so high the model probably won't execute every sub-parameter literally — a lot of it just ends up read as style reference rather than hard instruction. The negative-prompt list is solid though — cartoonish look, rolling shutter jitter, excessive cuts are all real Sora 2 failure modes, so this is clearly written by someone who's eaten those failures firsthand. The angel-girl-on-the-steps image itself has good atmosphere, but the overall complexity here already outstrips what most shots actually need.
