Speaking as someone who has done VFX professionally, I think Sora is closer about 30% there. It's really not constituted in a way that makes it easy to combine with existing techniques. You either need to come up with a way to make them play nicely together or you have to recreate the entire production pipeline in the model.

It'll get better, but I don't think they've been aiming in the right direction if the goal is to replace current production methods.

Yeah text-prompting only won't replace production work, but it can surely accelerate and boost pre-prod work, maybe doing prelim shots for a storyboard, creative ideas for the costume dept... lots of cool things.

I think for prod work it needs what the auto1111 plugins have given SD - ControlNet etc, where you have a lot more control over the generation and the text prompt is just a small part of it.

Yeah, I don't think people understand how much pre-prod work is done. For the next 5 to 10 years this what it'll be used for. In the next 20 years, 90% are out of work.
