Annomenia

The 1st music video created entirely through OpenAI's Sora just dropped. It's for Washed Out's new track "The Hardest Part", and it's 4 full minutes of completely generative text-to-video. → The 2 main characters → Their shapeshifting baby → Dozens of settings → Lots of hallways All generated by Sora via prompts. The video was directed by Paul Trillo, who aimed to explore all the possible outcomes of a couple's life across various locations thru prompt. “With this, there was no editing myself. I was really able to just try things and so that organically creates a different kind of story because of that, being able to throw so much at the wall and see what sticks.” Prompt Example 1: “We zoom through the bubble it pops and we zoom through the bubblegum and enter an open football field" Prompt Example 2: “The scene is moving rapidly, showing a front perspective, showing the students getting bigger and faster.” It's clear this technology can open up possibilities for directors to paint with their brain without limitations of budget or physics. But, at what cost? Is this novelty, or the start of something bigger?
