„When OpenAI revealed its new generative video model, Sora, last month, it invited a handful of filmmakers to try it out. This week the company published the results: seven surreal short films that leave no doubt that the future of generative video is coming fast. “
SORA is by far the most capable text-to-video AI we’ve seen so far, and there’s no doubt it’s going to change filmmaking forever, especially for independent filmmakers.
One of the videos posted in this article „Somme Requiem“ (a short film made with runway about the winter truce of 1914) shows the very beginnings of what we might expect to see in the future. Stories being told that may not be as wide-reaching, but with AI, budget sizes are going to be dwarfed.
Take a look at something like Masters of Air – it cost $250 million to create (according to a quick Google search), but with AI in 5 years, just imagine how much costs could be cut and the opportunities that would create for stories that might otherwise not be told, because the audience isn’t big enough to make a huge profit. This could be the beginning of an entire filmmaking revolution for both the small fish, and Hollywood as a whole.
Also, I think it’s important to note that this is totally proof of concept – this tech will continue to improve!

I think many entertainment industries are a little overdue for things that shake up their cost/value. Entertainment is worth valuing, but the excesses involved in the amount of money made by top tier people in film, music and athletics are a little sickening. If AI spurs a lot of smaller and more independent ventures maybe that’s a good thing.
