OpenAI just released Sora, a text-to-video generator. Here are three five-second videos I had it make of the parable of the lost sheep:
They’re all basically the same concept, with a happy sheep coming toward the camera. Prompting for a video is different from prompting for an image; I struggled to get good results in the limited number of generations available to me. I had more failures than successes.
Here are a couple of fails where I tried to get a video of Moses parting the Red Sea. The first one looks like a video game cutscene, but revealing a giant wall is opposite of what I’m going for. In the second one, Moses decides to take a quick dip in the Red Sea before popping back out. Both of them are trying (and failing) to create the “wall of water” effect popularized by the movie The Ten Commandments.
If I had more credits available, I’d share more. We’re in the earliest days of text-to-video generations—the DALLE-2 era of AI videos: they’re amazing but limited, advanced but (in retrospect) basic.
