Remember when we got that huge leap in AI Arc from mid Journey version 3 to Mid Journey version 4 where all of a sudden all of the images looked realistic and just insane well today is the day that AI video generation just made that same leap this is mind-blowing this is AI
Generated video right here today February 15 2024 open AI announced Sora an AI model for creating video from text this is the best AI text video generation tool we’ve ever seen here’s the official announcement from open AI on their Twitter introducing Sora our text to video model Sora can create
Videos up to 60 seconds featuring highly detailed scenes complex camera motion and multiple characters with vibrant emotions up until now we’ve only been able to create 3 or 4 seconds at a time and then if we wanted longer we can extend it and extend it up to about 16
Seconds but this is a single prompt 60-second video super realistic just check out this video that they shared as the example video when they made their announcement on Twitter it looks super realistic I mean the it’s a little pixelly but I think that’s more due to Twitter’s compression than the actual
Video itself this is just absolutely phenomenal and there are tons of examples already of what this is capable of Greg Brockman also took to Twitter to announce Sora announcing Sora our model which creates minute long videos from a text prompt and you can see his AI generated video of a woman walking down
The streets of what looks like maybe Tokyo at night after a rainy day or something but the realism on this thing is just amazing we haven’t seen anything like this with AI video generation yet now if you head on over to open.com Sora you can find out all about
It and see a whole bunch of examples of the types of videos it can create now unfortunately we don’t have access to this model ourselves yet you can see here in Sam Altman’s tweet about it you can see he says today we are starting red teaming and offering access to a
Limited number of creators I don’t know how they’re choosing those creators and who gets access but as far as I know right now not many people if anyone has access outside of the open AI team let’s just take a moment to look at some of the examples that they shared on their
Website of the videos that this can generate like these woolly mammoths walking towards us in a 10-second video here or this movie trailer featuring The Adventures of a 30-year-old Spaceman wearing a red wool knitted motorcycle helmet I mean the realism on this is just insane and you can see what I mean
By the quality from Twitter where it looked a little more compressed cuz these videos that we’re seeing on the demo site are just mindblowing I mean these are absolutely insane how well this is working here’s another one with an animated scene featuring a close-up of a short fluffy monster kneeling
Beside a melted red candle the art style is 3D and realistic with focus on lighting and texture a gorgeously rendered papercraft world of a coral reef rif with colorful fish and sea creatures look at that that is so good it looks like origami almost and this
Video is 20 seconds long here we got a vertical video this close-up shot of a Victoria crowned pigeon showcases it’s striking blue plumage and red chest Etc that’s a long prompt but this is a 40sec video look how realistic that is you saw this video online you would probably
Assume it’s a real video it doesn’t look like AI art at all photorealistic post up video of two pirate ships battling each other as they sail inside of a coffee cup look at that you can tell it’s supposed to be coffee in a coffee cup and two pirate ships I mean it’s and
It’s a 15-second generation now because all of these videos that we’re looking at right now are on the open AI website there’s a fairly good chance that these are cherry-picked videos these are some of the best results that they’ve gotten but man if this is the best results you
Get that just tells you that maybe through enough prompting you can generate anything you want from the here’s another one a close-up view of a glass sphere that has a Zen Garden within it there’s a small dwarf in the sphere who is raking the zen garden and
Creating patterns in the sand this is a 10-second video now most of these videos I’m not going to show you the whole clip otherwise this video will be 30 minutes long but definitely check out open.com Sora and we’re going to look at you know fractions of each of these clips just to
Get an idea of the quality like this eyeball here or this kangaroo disco dancing that’s a 10sec long clip you haven’t seen Pika or Runway or any of these AI art video generators generating something this good anything else that we would get that generates like this would look like the kangaroo was moving
In slow motion to do his dance this actually looks like a kangaroo dancing we’ve got a 202nd clip of a beautiful homemade video showing the people of logos Nigeria in the year 2056 shot with a mobile phone camera look at that look at the realism I mean there’s not enough
You know adjectives for me to use to talk about how excited and blown away I am by some of these videos and how well these are coming out the camera rotates around a large stack of vintage televisions all showing different programs 1950 Sci-Fi movies horror movies news static 1970 sitcom and you
Can see all of these various types of things in these videos I mean the prompt adherence alone is mind-blowing 3D animation of a small round fluffy creature with big expressive eyes explores a vibrant Enchanted Forest says here Sor is able to generate complex scenes with multiple characters specific
Types of motion and accurate details on the subject in background the model understands not only what the user has asked for in The Prompt but also how those things exist in the physical world the camera follows behind a white vintage SUV with a black roof rack as it
Speeds up a steep dirt road surrounded by pine trees on a steep Mountain slope dust kicks up from its tires the sunlight Shines on the SUV as it speeds along the dirt road casting a warm glow Over the Sea the dirt road curves gently into the distance with no other cars or
Vehicles in sight the trees on either side of the road are redwoods with patches of greenery scattered throughout the car is seen from the rear following the curve with ease making it seem as if on a Rugged Drive Through the rugged terrain the dirt road itself is surrounded by steep hills and mountains
With clear blue sky above the wispy clouds all right that’s a 20 second video that used that entire prompt and if you read The Prompt most of it made it into the video it is just crazy you can’t tell I’m excited check this out Reflections in the window of a train
Traveling through the Tokyo suburbs you can see the reflections of the other people in the train as it passes by dark scenes there is no way you would see this on social media and assume this was AI generated a drone camera circles around a beautiful historic church built
On a rocky outcropping along a Mali Coast a 20 second video look at that that looks like a real drone shot it just does a large octopus and a scene resting on the bottom ocean floor I mean these long prompts are working really well look at that 17 seconds long flock
Of paper airplanes 20 seconds long look at this cat that cat is a realistic cat look at as it hits the girl’s face she like Squints and her eyes move to the cat hitting her look at that oh smash my face a cat waking up its sleeping owner
Demanding breakfast that cat that cat is real that is not an AI generated cat that just blows my mind Borneo Wildlife on the kinab bagen river I probably butchered that name a Chinese Lunar New Year cele ation video with Chinese dragon look at this clip in full screen
And tell me this doesn’t look like an actual video clip from China or something maybe it’s not shot on the most powerful camera in the world but it looks real and this site is just full of examples a torven art gallery a stop motion animation of a flower growing a
Robot’s life in a cyberpunk city look at that an extreme close-up of a gray haired man with a beard in his 60s 22nd clip and it is just so realistic a beautiful silhouette animation shows a wolf howling at the moon feeling lonely you know I love this clip I love my
Wolves New York City submerged like Atlantis fish whale sea turtles and sharks swim throughout the streets of New York a litter of Golden Retriever puppies playing in the snow their heads pop out of the snow covered in and then the prompt actually cuts off but that’s a 20 second video of Golden Retriever
Puppies playing in the snow no doubt about that in my mind someone running backwards on a treadmill five Grey Wolves frolicking basketball through hoop that explodes all right I got to see it explode boom nice archaeologist discover generic plastic chair in the desert grandmother with neatly combed gray hair stands behind a colorful
Birthday cake here’s a Dalmation Crossing between two windows an otter on a surfboard 17-second video a close-up shot of a chameleon I mean crazy realistic a corgi vlogging in a tropical Maui a white and orange tabby cat is seen happily darting through a dense Garden as if chasing something 27 second
Clip aerial view of Santorini during the blue hour showcasing the stunning architecture Etc that’s an 8-second clip tilt shift of a construction site filled with workers equipment and heavy machinery that’s a really good tilt shift effect as well that works really well a giant towering cloud in the shape
Of a man looms over the Earth holy crap look at that that is amazing some dogs this one they’re running kind of sideways this one looks a little more AI to me this is like one of the first ones I’ve come across where I’m like all right that’s clearly AI like the
Something’s going on with the legs still really really good though the Glen finin Viaduct is a Historic Railway Bridge in Scotland UK that crosses over the west highland that looks like a real video you put this online and told me this was a real video I would not second guess
This one at all again all of these examples in their entirety are available to watch over at open.com Sora and then of course Sam mman went to X to say hey what do you want to see me prompt and he’s actually taking requests and generating videos
From requests here over on X here’s one a wizard wearing a pointed hat and a blue robe with white stars casting a spell that shoots lightning from his hand and holding an old to in his other hand that pretty much nailed it half duck half dragon flies through a
Beautiful sunset with a hamster dressed in Adventure Gear on its back H that one’s looking a little AI to me the dragon sort of going backwards instead of forwards the little hamster dude on his back is kind of sitting on him funky but I got the half dragon half duck I
Mean that’s crazy that it managed to make that sort of morph a street level tour through a futuristic city which in harmony with nature and also simultaneously cyberpunk high-tech and there’s a lot more to that prompt here but you can see uh the video here looks like a cyberpunk high tech futuristic
City I mean it does what it says it’s supposed to do here’s another one of a half duck half dragon flies through a beautiful sunset with a hamster dressed in Adventure Gear on its back that Dr drag duck D Dagon whatever you want to call it also kind of looks like it’s
Flying backwards but that looks much more like a hamster ride in it but then Sam had to take a break and so those were the only demos that he gave us but oh my gosh this Sora app is absolutely blowing my mind right now if you can’t
Tell from my excitement this is the best I’ve ever seen with AI text to video blows every other model out of the water unfortunately we just don’t have access to it yet when you think about like most movies and most TV shows if you watch closely they never really have a shot
Stay on the screen for more than like 3 to five seconds it’s constantly changing camera angles and changing shots well with a tool like this where you can generate up to a minute long clip you can pretty much generate every shot from a film and just keep jumping between
Them knowing that most videos aren’t going to have more than five seconds on one scene at a time so I mean we’re getting really really really close to AI video being able to generate anything you can imagine and the amount of time it’s going to take to prompt this stuff
Is only going to get quicker and quicker our home computers are going to get more powerful but these models are also going to get more and more efficient so you’ll be able to generate them with less and less compute power as well and with all of this we’re likely going to get longer
And longer Generations if we can already do 60-second Generations it’s not too far of a stretch to believe that we can double that triple that quadruple that within the next year I’m just so blown away I can’t imagine what AI video is going to look like this time next year
Like just for an example here here’s something that Garrett Scott posted on x here’s where we were one year ago with Will Smith eating spaghetti and you’ll notice none of these clips are longer than 3 or 4 seconds long it keeps on changing scene because you’re only able
To generate 3 or 4 second long videos back then that’s what we were generating one year ago today and here’s what we get today this is the kind of quality it’s generating now somebody needs to go and prompt Will Smith eating spaghetti so we can compare those two side by side
Directly but holy crap the leap we made in just one year from February 2023 to February 2024 mindboggling absolutely insane leap now I know there’s a lot of people that are watching this video they’re on every single one of my videos in the comments saying that’s not that
Good I’m not that impressed you know movie creators have nothing to worry about I’m not saying that you can use this right now to make a ful length video what I am saying is if you look at where we were a year ago remember uh a Will Smith eating spaghetti here to
Where we are today one year later 4 second video that’s grainy and really unrealistic to up to 60c videos that look really realistic where are we going to be a year from now maybe got nothing to worry about today but these videos are getting so much better I also still
Believe that there’s a role for people creating videos I think people are still going to want to see human-made videos I think AI is going to give them superpowers make it even easier for them to make videos make it even easier for them to get the the shots that they
Couldn’t otherwise get I don’t buy into a lot of the narratives of game over for movie directors if you’re a videographer you’re in trouble I don’t buy into any of those narratives if you’re a film director if you’re a videographer you’re about to get superpowers not you’re about to get eliminated that’s my
Thoughts on it anyway Sora from open AI super excited about it had to make this quick video tell you about it just in case you hadn’t seen it yet this is mind-blowing It’s the biggest leap we’ve seen in AI video generation hands down ever mind-blowing I can’t wait to get my
