Yesterday OpenAI announced Sora, which leap frogged everyone else in generating very realistic looking video 100% through prompt-generated AI. It produced this drone shot of Bug Sur, a shot I've long wanted to capture, but for those pesky drone laws that prevent me from flying there. I am in fact leading a mushroom foray there in two weeks looking for chanterelle mushrooms and I would love to bring my drone, but no... it's a huge no fly zone for drones, unless you want to get permission.
We've got this level of AI generated video available to anyone - imagine how much better this will be in another year or two. I will be using this to shoot drone sequences I've long wanted to shoot but can't, as well as all kinds of other video.
There are issues with the generated video quality if you look closely, but for 99.9% of people looking casually at these videos, it will appear 100% real to them. And these issues will be fixed.
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.
