Top 3 Giant Goalie Sora Prompts
Most of my YouTube Shorts are created with Sora 2, and the ones that consistently perform best all share one absurd—but strangely believable—theme: incredibly large goalkeepers. When you push scale to the edge of realism while keeping broadcast physics intact, the results stop feeling like AI experiments and start feeling like “how is this even possible?” moments pulled straight from live television. If you want to create your own viral goalie clips, the prompts below are a great place to start.
Short and simple - “9 foot tall, 800 pound incredibly fat goalie that is so big he covers the entire goal, so he just lays in front of the goal and any shot on goal is blocked by his huge body just being there. Shot after shot bounces ofd his face, belly and body. Just standing he covers almost the entire goal 4k english league broadcast look”
Snow Version - “It's blizzard conditions, a 9 foot tall, 800 pound incredibly fat goalie that is so big he covers the entire goal, so he just lays in front of the goal and any shot on goal is blocked by his huge body just being there. Shot after shot bounces ofd his face, belly and body. Just standing he covers almost the entire goal 4k english league broadcast look ultra realistic”
Long and Detailed - A live English football league match presented in true broadcast style, filmed primarily from a wide, elevated sideline camera that shows the full penalty area, goal frame, and attacking buildup. In goal stands a 25 foot-tall, 800-pound goalkeeper with an enormous belly, so physically massive that he nearly fills the entire goal mouth simply by standing upright. His proportions and movement obey realistic weight and balance physics. During sustained pressure, the attacking team fires shot after shot on goal. Each strike collides naturally with the goalkeeper’s body — balls thud off his chest, belly, shoulders, and face with believable rebounds and spin. Some shots deflect straight back into play, others drop harmlessly in front of him. At one point, the goalkeeper drops to the ground and lies flat across the goal line, using his sheer size to block the entire goal area. A close-range shot slams into his stomach and ricochets away as the crowd gasps. Players react in disbelief, attackers throw their arms up in frustration, defenders celebrate wildly. Commentators shout in astonishment at the sheer absurdity of the situation while still sounding professional and urgent. Visuals are photorealistic: accurate goal dimensions, realistic ball speed and deformation, authentic player movement, natural motion blur, proper stadium lighting, detailed crowd animation. 4K resolution, English league broadcast presentation, wide broadcast zoom, no cinematic angles, no exaggerated slow motion except for brief broadcast replays. Ultra-realistic football physics and atmosphere.
Try it for yourself.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned using Sora 2, it’s that specificity wins every time. The prompts that work best for me clearly lock in camera perspective (wide broadcast angle, sideline cam, slow zoom), physical rules (realistic weight, momentum, collisions), and context (live English league match, professional commentary, crowd reactions). Treat your prompt like a mini production brief rather than a single sentence, and Sora responds with dramatically more believable results.

Jump in, push the details further than you think you need to, and iterate. The difference between a decent clip and a jaw-dropping one is almost always in the prompt.
