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.

electronic hip-hop fusion, atmospheric downtempo EDM intro, lush synth pads, 90s east coast boom bap beat, dark and gritty rap, Peking opera interlude, jinghu strings, high falsetto opera vocal, cinematic, 90 BPM. [Intro - Melodic EDM, emotional piano melody, atmospheric fading synths, Alan Walker style] (Instrumental build-up...) [Verse 1 - Switch to 90s East Coast Hip Hop, heavy boom bap beat, dark and gritty, deep male voice rap, rhythmic Who Shot Ya flow] Yeah, look into my eyes, see the shadow on the wall, Streetlights flickering, waiting for the giant to fall. (Uh, check it) No warning, no signs, just the rhythm of the rain, We moving through the dark, but we dominant the game.

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.
