Baby Alpaca · Sora Showcase

We’re continuing to slowly expand Sora testing to more creatives (digital VFX pioneers, architects, choreographers, engineering artists, and creative entrepreneurs) to help us understand the model's capabilities and limitations, shaping the next phase of research to create increasingly safe AI systems over time. While access is still extremely limited while safety testing is underway, we wanted to celebrate these artists’ work with their reflections on how they use Sora in their process. (The underlying visuals were generated solely with Sora without any VFX, but artists added sound and edited using traditional filmmaking software.) Chris Kittrell, known by his stage name @babyalpaca is a Los Angeles/Colorado based musician who crafts AI-generated visual art and immersive environments for his music. With his music video for "Shadows," Kittrell uses Sora to create a surreal journey through a brutalist-style castle, exploring different realms of a dream world featuring 113 AI-prompted clips and 20 filmed overlays. “Sora allowed me to create locations and character actions to tell my narrative in ways that would have been impossible with a crew of one and a limited budget.”
