Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

 Sandeep ,

 

My following chat ( just now ) could help you to come up with a better and longer video

 

With regards,

Dear Chetan Bhai :

 

My colleague Sandeep is doing R & D , using various online Video Generation Tools , to see if he can come up with some sharper and more animated video , as far as that PhD student dashboard is concerned . He got this far > https://sora.chatgpt.com/t/task_01jxyss8amear97524725t22ny/ Any suggestion on how this ( the right side video on that screen ) can be further improved ?

Here are some refined suggestions to enhance the PhD-student dashboard video using Sora or similar tools:


🛠️ 1. Structure Your Prompt for Coherence

·         Use Sora’s Storyboard feature to define each scene clearly—you can guide the video through key moments (map entry, satellite sweep, tax flash, etc.) neuroflash.com+5openai.com+5theguardian.com+5neuroflash.com.

·         Provide camera direction (e.g., “wide shot  zoom into data panel  satellite viewpoint), lighting, motion style, and mood.


🎯 2. Break It Into 3 to 4 Short Scenes

Sora caps videos at ~20 seconds, which can feel rushed. Instead, create separate clips:

1. City map with cars moving

2. Satellite sweep over Chennai

3. Tax deduction popup on a car

4. PhD student’s reaction on the screen

Each behaves like a scene in a storyboard. Stitch them later in a simple editor. This avoids cluttered action in one cramped clip alicialyttle.com.


✨ 3. Experiment with Styles

·         Cartoon/infographic style: Clean lines, ideal for clarity of roads, cars, UI elements.

·         Cinematic preset: Use for the satellite sequence to add visual drama.

·         Blend visuals using Sora’s “Remix” after initial generation to improve coherence youtube.com+14techpoint.africa+14alicialyttle.com+14.


🎨 4. Use Asset Integration

If you have a still dashboard image, upload it and ask Sora to “pan across the dashboard” or bring elements to life—NaVIC beam, pulsing credit icons, etc. .


📐 5. Ensure Continuity & Resolution

·         Stick to 1080p (requires ChatGPT Pro).

·         Maintain consistent camera angles across clips to keep a cohesive feel businessinsider.com+4zapier.com+4alicialyttle.com+4.


🔄 6. Post‑Process Minimal Edits

After generating the scenes, quickly:

·         Stitch them in Runway or OpenShot

·         Add sound effects—beeps for tax credits, radio hum for NaVIC

·         Sync subtle background music to enhance engagement


🧪 7. Test Alternate Tools if Needed

Reddit users report that Runway Gen‑3 Alpha or Kling may produce more realistic renderings, though they may be more complex to use zapier.com+3reddit.com+3techpoint.africa+3.


✅ Summary Table

Oh YES please ! Do let me have that " optimized prompt or stitching the clips later "

ChatGPT said:

Wonderful! Here's your optimized prompt set for Sora (or similar AI video tools), broken into 3 clips for better realism and control. I’ve also added a quick guide on how to stitch them later.


🎬 VIDEO CLIP 1: “Chennai City Dashboard - Cars in Motion”

Prompt:
A wide-angle top-down view of a digital dashboard showing a satellite map of downtown Chennai. Small colored cars (red for petrol/diesel, green for EVs) are moving across the roads in slow, synchronized patterns. The streets are labeled. A clean futuristic interface overlays the screen with blinking icons showing carbon credits and debits. Smooth animation, infographic style, day time, smart dashboard aesthetic.

Style tip: Use a clean 2D or infographic aesthetic to make cars, streets, and UI stand out.


🚀 VIDEO CLIP 2: “NaVIC Satellite in Action”

Prompt:
A geostationary satellite labeled "NaVIC" floats above Earth. A pulsating blue signal beam is sweeping across the Chennai region below. From vehicles on the ground, faint signal arrows are transmitting back to the satellite. Background is Earth from space, zooms into India, then to Tamil Nadu. Slight camera pan to emphasize movement and signal sweep. High-tech animation, cinematic lighting.

This shows the “uplink + sweep” phase from vehicle to satellite.


🏦 VIDEO CLIP 3: “PhD Student Watching Dashboard”

Prompt:
A young Indian male PhD student sits at a desk in a darkened university lab. He watches a large, wall-mounted screen showing a real-time animation of moving vehicles, blinking carbon credit/debit icons, and a satellite trace beam. His eyes move attentively across the screen. The dashboard flashes a green message: ‘Carbon Credit: ₹200 Credited to Owner’. Calm ambiance, ambient lighting.

You can upload the original Dashboard still to the generation tool and ask for “realistic animation of screen” and “zoom or pan on interface.”

Would you like me to prepare a stitched scripted version of transitions and text overlays for you to paste into Runway or Canva too?

You said:

Hey , I would be grateful if you could oblige

ChatGPT said:

Delighted to oblige, Hemenbhai! Here's a complete scripted storyboard you (or Sandeep) can use to stitch the 3 clips into a coherent, impactful ROTE Simulation Video, with voiceover text, transitions, music suggestions, and text overlays.
