If you dream of making a film, there's no need to attend investor meetings, showcase your script everywhere, and seek funding or casting approvals. If you truly want to make a film, just write a script. Consider entrusting Sparc Capital with time-consuming investments, and in return, we can help you reclaim valuable spare time for other pursuits.
Today, (https://openai.com/sora) OpenAI released the latest model - Sora - an AI model that can create realistic and imaginative scenes from text instructions. Sora can create a continuous 60-second video using text, foreseeing a future where a simple script input is sufficient to produce a movie, eliminating the need for large teams for shooting. Departments like cinematography, acting, wardrobe, makeup, lighting, and drivers will become unnecessary. Managing a film crew will be replaced by the knowledge of these departments to operate AI, marking the imminent era of reduced reliance on human assistance.
This future may be just a few months away, with the possibility of a one-shot, 90 to 120-minute film becoming a reality by 2024. The film industry is undergoing its third revolution, progressing from silent films to talkies, special effects to digitization, and now from digitization to AI. Industrialized production is on the brink of conclusion, questioning the necessity of hundreds or thousands of people working for years with billions spent on a single film. The question arises: how much story value and significance does humanity truly need amidst such lengthy and burdensome efforts?
The addition of VR headsets is rendering movie theaters. Traditional distribution methods may silently fade away, taking with them peak seasons.
While Sora's videos may seem rudimentary, this is just the beginning. Similar to the electric car revolution, major film companies are approaching the day of announcing the end of traditional filmmaking, allowing filmmaking to become the work of a few individuals.
The era of large film crews, seeking approvals, begging for screenings, and pleading for audience support is concluding. Congratulations! The era of a cumbersome film industry is fading away, a welcome development for creators.
If you dream of making a film, there's no need to attend investor meetings, showcase your script everywhere, and seek funding or casting approvals. With AI's massive support, filmmaking can return to its roots. In the words of master Akira Kurosawa: 'If you truly want to make a film, just write a script. You only need paper and pen.'
Now, we can add: 'If you truly want to make a film, just write a script. You only need paper and pen; the rest is handled by AI.'
The same transformation applies to the gaming and animation industries, where everyone becomes a product manager, and everyone can be a director, competing based on creativity and scripts.
Sparc Capital acknowledges Sora's current prominence. Let's not disregard the significant computational power and energy consumption involved in training and generating video models.
