Same prompt samples

Each row uses one prompt so you can compare models fairly. Hosted clips are existing videobao examples. If a model has no clip for that prompt yet, generate it yourself — we do not invent samples.

Chinese wedding dressOriginally generated on Sora 2

Shared prompt

9:16 vertical, 4 seconds. A blonde, blue-eyed American model with a model figure, wearing an exquisite Chinese wedding dress (longfenggua / xiuhe style), holding a bouquet, walking through a Wangxiangu-valley-style scene: mist-shrouded cliffs, ancient plank walkways and pavilions, a xianxia fantasy atmosphere. Her expression is happy and expectant as she walks toward the wedding stage ahead. Cinematic photography style, soft warm lighting, highlighting the bride and the details of the Chinese dress, with a softly blurred background.

Cafe short dramaOriginally generated on Kling 2.6

Shared prompt

A girl of Viking descent with long golden hair and round glasses, a delicate face with a heroic edge, showing a shy yet helpless expression, cheeks slightly flushed. She wears mixed-style clothing: a Nordic rune-pattern sweater paired with modern jeans. Setting: a sunny corner of a modern city cafe or tech park. Across from her, a goofy Silicon-Valley-style CEO in casual but unmistakably elite attire makes an exaggerated inviting gesture, playful and enthusiastic. Japanese fresh illustration style, bright warm colors, light humorous mood, highlighting the gap-moe contrast and dramatic interaction between the two characters.
