    In this 45-minute hands-on lab, we’ll experiment with prompts in Sora to build lengthy videos that will have some journalistic value. We’ll start building a prompt library for Sora videos and tweak/test them as we build videos. We’ll cover how to post them properly online (YouTube) and disclose the AI use to readers when posting. Participants will be given a handout with links to all the tools and exercises on how to use them. Prior to the session, have an account set up at Sora and have access to a YouTube account if we want to post the videos there afterward.

    Anyone is welcome to attend. Tickets are free and the event will be recorded. We will send the recording to everyone who registered after the session, regardless of whether they attended live.

    Presenter:
    Mike Reilley, Senior Lecturer, University of Illinois-Chicago
