Tyler Perry has said that plans to expand his studio to the tune of about $800 million will be “on hold indefinitely” because of the possibilities presented by artificial intelligence, the report said. hollywood reporter.
OpenAI sky This model generates videos based on text prompts. While this type of functionality is likely to revolutionize the content creation industry and open up a world of possibilities and cost savings, it could also put some people out of work.
“I’ve been watching AI closely and watching its advances closely. I’m in the middle of an approximately $800 million expansion plan for my studio, and I’ve been planning it for the past four years. As the size increased, we were adding 12 more soundstages. All of that is currently on hold indefinitely because of what Sora and I are looking at. He’d been hearing about it for about a year now, but he didn’t know until he saw it. “I recently saw a demonstration of its capabilities,” Perry said, according to The Hollywood Reporter. It’s shocking to me.”
“I feel for all the construction workers and contractors who are no longer employed because they don’t do it because they don’t need to do it in the next phase of the studio,” he said.
Perry said AI could potentially avoid traveling to the set, as text prompts can be used to generate the desired scene.
“You don’t have to go to a location anymore. If you want to be out in the snow in Colorado, that’s text. If you want to draw a moonscape, that’s text. And this AI will make it look like a piece of cake. I wanted to be in my living room on the mountain, I didn’t have to build a set on the mountain, I didn’t have to put a set on my property. I could do this by myself, sitting in my office. This is shocking to me,” he said.
“It makes me so worried about all the people in this industry, because when you look at it, everyone in the industry that is going to be affected by this, actors, grips, electrical, transportation, sound, etc. Because I immediately started thinking about people,’ and editors, and looking at this, I think this is going to impact every corner of our industry,” Perry said.
Sora is not yet publicly available. “Sora is being made available to red team members to assess key areas for harm and risk, and to get feedback on how to evolve the model to best serve creative professionals. We are giving access to thousands of visual artists, designers, and filmmakers,” OpenAI says on its website.
