How you could soon be making your own Blockbuster film from your laptop? Sooner than you thought

It’s crazy scary, but it’s here. We launched a new journal with some of the world’s most authoritative figures in tech working with students and it used Gen AI for its imaging.

Here, one of the UK’s most awarded podcasters Bernard P. Achampong sits in Picasso painting entertaining clients. But that’s not really the scary bit. I write with regard to creating videos in our news publication this using AI prompts:

Runway currently facilitates extensions on its four-second videos, but how soon will we be able to create whole unlimited time sequences with specific prompt directions? “Medium, wide shot::2 Blackman, 25 years old, move diagonally away, screen left, walking like Spike Lee in Malcolm X.”

Well in a quasi Interstellar world where one month in earth time seemingly equals a minute in AI world @openAI Sora unleashed its model that looks to generate up to a minute of “real life-like scenes” from prompts.

It’s spooked filmmaker Tyler Perry enough to hold back on his massive studio development.

Imagine being able to create any of your favourite scenes in a movie that you own, towards making your own film, by merely using texts. It’s scary and was one of the talking points for the use of generated actors for the SAG-ATFRA strikes last year.

In this new tech-story magazine/ journal just launched, I write how soon will GenAI (Runway) which allowed only four sec videos give way to unlimited video. With @OpenAI Sora it’s close.

On pg 106 from this (for the moment) free download you can read about how I used AI to create a non-fiction film, Chairman — a personal story about my father, a Ghanaian, coming to the UK in the 1950s.
