OpenAI’s new text-to-video technology named Sora is pretty amazing but the repercussions to many industries are profound…
Many CGI/VFX tool-building companies and the creatives that use them may feel anxiety-inducing when a written text prompt to video AI tool can create a video in minutes that could take weeks to traditionally create using desktop tools.
What do you think?
“Sora is an AI model that can create realistic and imaginative scenes from text instructions. Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and adherence to the user’s prompt.”

Prompt: Drone view of waves crashing against the rugged cliffs along Big Sur’s garay point beach. The crashing blue waters create white-tipped waves, while the golden light of the setting sun illuminates the rocky shore. A small island with a lighthouse sits in the distance, and green shrubbery covers the cliff’s edge. The steep drop from the road down to the beach is a dramatic feat, with the cliff’s edges jutting out over the sea. This is a view that captures the raw beauty of the coast and the rugged landscape of the Pacific Coast Highway.
