Sora, OpenAI’s newest product, has made waves in Hollywood. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman teased this text-to-video model, and it is already making very realistic videos from just text. But how do directors and other people who work in business feel about this new technology?
Amazing Skills That Sora Has
Sora isn’t just another AI that makes videos. Unlike older models, it can quickly turn written descriptions of scenes into high-quality video clips that can last up to 60 seconds. Sora’s work is surprisingly true to life, from corgis blogging in Maui to huge fight scenes.
Reactions in Hollywood Were Mixed
Some imaginative people are interested in what Sora could do, but others are still being careful. What people who work in the field say:
“Many people say Hollywood is over and done,” said Reid Southen, a film concept artist. That’s not really the case, though. The pipes used for production are too complex. Also, these movies are a bit messy and have too many problems, especially with the way time flows and the images they show.
The International Animated Film Association’s Aubry Mintz: People who work in animation are already “quite uncomfortable” with Sora. Professionals may lose their jobs if it takes over jobs like reference animation, concept art, and storyboarding.
Tyler Perry, the Studio Boss: Perry’s company put off $800 million in growth because AI was getting better, and they specifically mentioned Sora. He doesn’t think Sora will take over as director any time soon, but he does agree that new technology has changed jobs in the field.
Sora’s Part in Making Movies
It looks like Sora’s skills would work better for making stock footage than film footage. Blake Ridder, a British director, says that artists could use Sora-made movies to plan their projects instead of using them as the end product.
The Way Ahead
As Hollywood tries to figure out what AI means, Sora’s arrival opens up a new area. It won’t replace directors, but it could make the creative process a lot better.
