What they used: OpenAI's video-generation AI "Sora" was used as the main tool. It was made by shy kids, a small film production team.
What they did: They created a short film with the strange premise of "a man with a balloon for a head" using AI that generates video from text. The narrative footage is composed without any live-action filming.
What it does: An early case study showing that, with the right idea, you can make a short film without large-scale filming equipment or location shoots. You can see both the expressive power of video-generation AI and its current "quirks."
