Hey everyone! 🎬 The new issue of the AIography newsletter just dropped and it's a big one. THE LEAD: Disney invested $1 billion in OpenAI and licensed 200+ characters for Sora. The mouse is officially in the AI game. This is INCREDIBLY HUGE news for every type of creator. I do my best to break down what it means for all of us making stuff in this space. THREE TUTORIALS THIS WEEK: 1. Jay E from RoboNuggets n8n workflow that pumps out broadcast-quality ads for under $3 (full breakdown of the cost structure—this one's a game changer) 2. Tao Prompts 7 AI video prompt styles that actually work: Timestamp prompting, anchor prompts, cut-scene prompting, and more 3. TechHalla's grid prompting technique for multi-character consistency (actually posted this one here for you guys already!) ALSO: Runway dropped 5 world model announcements. They're not just making video anymore—they're building reality simulators. I explain why this matters. VIDEO OF THE WEEK: @nouryyildiz's "Hollywood Selfie Part 2"—running through classic Hollywood sets with Brando, Eastwood, DiCaprio. 2M views. Made with Nano Banana and Kling. Just pure fun. Oh, and I'm committing to at least one tutorial in every issue from now on. The tools are evolving fast—we need to keep up. ONE MORE THING: Still not subscribed? Get on it! It's free and it's the easiest way to stay current in AI filmmaking without drowning in noise. And if I can ask: if you're getting value from this, share it with one person who needs to see it. A fellow editor, a filmmaker friend, that creative who keeps asking you "what tools should I be learning?" This is the answer. https://aiography.beehiiv.com/subscribe Finally, let me know what you think. I value every one of your opinions good or otherwise. Hey, I was an editor for decades, I'm used to people tearing apart my work! 😆✌🏼

Hey AIographers — big news! OpenAI just dropped Sora 2, their next-gen video + audio generation model, and from the looks of it, it’s a quantum leap. Here’s what’s getting me hyped (and what you’ll want to experiment with): - Handles physical realism and failure states (think: if you miss the hoop, the ball doesn’t teleport to it). - You can drop yourself or others into generated scenes via “cameos” photo-real voice + appearance fidelity. - Dialogue + sound effects are built in, not just visuals. - OpenAI is launching it via a new Sora app (iOS first) and invites via rollout. - They’re taking safety seriously: consent, likeness control, teen limits, moderation, etc. - Free tier initially, with premium / paid tiers later. Imagine scripting a short film in which you insert yourself mid-scene, with fully synced dialogue and scenery that obeys real world physics. That’s what Sora 2 is aiming for. It’s not perfect, it still slips sometimes, but it feels like the jump from text → image to video is happening now. I’ll pull apart its strengths, weaknesses, and what this means for creatives in a breakdown soon. Stay tuned! For the time being, Below are just a few demos from the Sora 2 page. If you want the full scoop, Check it out HERE.

Luma just released Ray3, and there's some genuinely useful stuff here. The Game-Changer: Professional Integration Finally - 16-bit HDR with EXR export. This means we can actually bring AI footage into Resolve/Nuke/AE and grade it properly. No more weird color space nightmares. Smart Workflow Changes Two things that actually make sense: 1. Visual annotations - Draw on images instead of prompt engineering forever 2. Draft Mode → Hi-Fi Mode - Test ideas cheap/fast, then render only your selects in 4K HDR What to Watch For They're showing real shorts made with this ("Wasted" and "Subway"), not just tech demos. That's promising. But we still need answers on: - Actual clip duration limits - Real-world rendering times - Commercial usage rights The SDR to HDR conversion could be huge for archive footage if it works well. My Take This isn't about prettier pixels - it's about fitting into real pipelines. The EXR export alone shows they get it. Not replacing cameras tomorrow, but could be killer for previz, impossible shots, or enhancing existing footage. Anyone else have access? Share your results. Real tests > marketing claims. What would you actually use this for in current projects?
