Hi all, Many of you know me as an editor, or through Master The Workflow, but at the end of the day I’m a filmmaker. And the project I’m working on, Lumarka, comes directly from that place. Lumarka is a new AI filmmaking and content-creation platform I’m building for directors, artists, editors, and creators who want to generate their cinematic vision directly from their scripts without having to stitch together a pile of complicated technical workflows. Now, I know a lot of you are already familiar with many of these tools, but for much of the filmmaking community, today’s AI pipeline can feel overwhelming, like staring at the wiring behind an early server rack from the 90s. Fascinating, but not exactly inviting. Lumarka was built to simplify all of that. It's the missing layer between the technology and your creativity. It uses real filmmaking principles: characters, scenes, shots, and continuity, and hides the technical friction so creatives can stay focused on what’s most important, the story. And as new generative models come out — video, image, sound, you name it — Lumarka will integrate them behind the scenes so your workflow improves without you needing to chase every new trend or tool. And it was built by me, someone who’s spent a lifetime in the editing room on more than 50 studio and independent films and television projects, not a software engineer. If you’d like early access or want to follow along as we build, I’d love to have you on the waitlist: 👉 Link: https://aiography.ai/lumarka_waitlist/ Looking forward to connecting with more filmmakers, creators, and fellow storytellers as this evolves.

Hey everyone! Got early access to Veo 3.1 on Higgsfield and decided to put it head-to-head with Sora 2. Did a full comparison video testing the same prompts across both platforms. Some quick takeaways: - Veo 3.1's audio quality is noticeably cleaner (almost studio-grade) - Sora 2 does longer generations (12 seconds vs 8 seconds) - Veo 3.1 works better with image-to-video when you use a starting frame - Both have their strengths depending on what you're creating I tested everything from fitness videos to anime scenes to product commercials. Also included a bunch of community-generated clips that show what's really possible with Veo 3.1. Full breakdown in video below or here: https://youtu.be/LC23Q3iw3ZM?si=ORHJiVXgr3843-ys Worth noting - Higgsfield has unlimited generations right now on Sora 2 / WAN 2.5 and almost all of their image models (such as NanoBannana and Seedream 4.0), which is huge for anyone doing production work or iterating on ideas. BONUS: I'm also giving away a comprehensive deep-research report I put together on Veo 3.1 - covers all its capabilities, technical specs, and detailed comparisons against the competition. Its available if you visit the video on YouTube Curious what you all think. Anyone else testing these tools? What's your experience been?

Hi everyone, I want to sincerely apologize for the last-minute cancellation of our live gathering this weekend.

We're getting just too many posts completely unrelated to AI Video generation and AI storytelling. So, in an effort to get a hold of this thing before it completely gets out of control, all posts not related to our topic will be deleted. Additionally, those posting items of this kind multiple times will be deleted and banned. I appreciate the fact that everyone has to make a living, but posting advertisements or things having nothing to do with our core topic(s) will no longer be tolerated. Thanks, The Management

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.
