Technology has always excited me, the possibilities are endless. However, we all feel threatened by something new and AI is not different. I feel we need to take control, start thinking outside of the box and embrace this new technology, be creative as we have always been, allowing ourselves to build a new dimension of content creation, which is both exciting and scary. Our industry is so passionate, creative, powerful and progressive, Sora will be a super-tool for all the creatives out there to implement something different. Don’t be scared of the technological changes, embrace them and you might just find the next best thing… “Sora is at its most powerful when you’re not replicating the old but bringing to life new and impossible ideas we would have otherwise never had the opportunity to see. Paul Trillo, Director While we have many improvements to make to Sora, we're already getting a glimpse of how the model can help creatives bring ideas to reality. As great as Sora is at generating things that appear real - what excites us is its ability to make things that are totally surreal. shy kids An interesting perspective and I’m very excited to see where this goes as a creative tool” #sora #ai #film #entertainment #openai #creativetool

With the introduction of Gen-AI video technology, we're poised to witness a significant surge in creative potential. This groundbreaking advancement democratises creative capabilities, making them accessible to a broader audience while simultaneously streamlining the creative process.

If you have not seen them yet the new SORA video collaborations are worth checking out - some of them are really interesting. According to open AI: "Since we introduced Sora to the world last month, we’ve been working with visual artists, designers, creative directors and filmmakers to learn how Sora might aid in their creative process." We are clearly at the beginning of this journey but personally I find it exciting to have a potential new tool in the toolbox... #ai #vfx #mediaandentertainment

New on the OpenAI blog: "Sora: First Impressions," a collection of Sora-generated videos produced by some of the creators who OpenAI seeded with early versions of Sora. Each is impressive in its own way, but by far the best is "Air Head," by shy kids, a Toronto-based multimedia production house. It has surprise, wit, story, and the kind of visual effects that only great gen AI (or expensive, time-consuming VFX) can produce. Of Sora, the company writes, "As great as Sora is at generating things that appear real - what excites us is its ability to make things that are totally surreal." I love that.

The link below has fascinating updates from Sora users/creators. Takeaways for me were about how this isn't replacing human creativity, it's enhancing it by democratising the ability to bring new ideas to life quickly. GenAI tools allow us to outsource expertise - we're using it to draft quick and considered email replies, gather thoughts and musings into draft documents, and review documents to give us abridged versions, we do this by telling it what we want, and how we want it, then we review and improve to give it our voice. This next step adds to that by giving us the ability to outsource the creation of short videos or shorts, that we can stitch together to enhance our ability to tell stories and connect. https://lnkd.in/g2i-6Qkf

According to OpenAI's recent blog post, #Sora ability to generate both realistic and surreal outputs has the potential to revolutionize the creative process. As Sora continues to show promise in helping creatives bring their ideas to life, open ai have been working with visual artists, designers, creative directors, and filmmakers to see how Sora might aid in their creative process.

OpenAi just invited a bunch of artist for early testing of SORA, the state of the art text2video model. We can not only get a glimpse what the model capabilities are, but also the huge amount of creativity, humans express with this new tools Source: https://lnkd.in/du8SKzz3 What would you create if you had the chance?

https://lnkd.in/eERQ789t Some more Sora content from #openai. There are two things that standout to me. First, the detail here is still very good, but what remains to be seen is the level of control a "creator" will have over adjusting outputs. In my experience, brands will want complete control (change the color here, the angle there, etc.) and that level will be needed for this to truly displace live action filming on a massive scale. For artists and creators though, this is an actual game-changer. Second, what kind of compute is going to be needed to run this model, and how much are users going to be charged? We've heard Open AI is seeking a $7 trillion investment to build compute infrastructure, and obviously they're going to look to monetize Sora somehow. Could this end up being more expensive than we realize? I'm excited for this but until we know more details live-production isn't going anywhere. #genai #production #video #isthisreadyforprimetime

As AI continues to make its mark on the creative world, Sora is leading the way in disrupting video and filmmaking. Witness some awe-inspiring examples of videos created entirely by artificial intelligence. Follow the linked article.

When OpenAI showcased early preview of Sora, they made it evident that they are sharing early progress of their research with an intent to give public a sense of AI capabilities that are on the horizon. This is a niche area and hence seeking feedback from the real personas (visual artists, designers, creative directors and filmmakers) is critical to evolve this model and make it relevant in the overall creative process.
