AI Video: What’s New and What’s Next

I still remember my first corporate training session. It was in a bland conference room with fluorescent lighting, and the facilitator went through a PowerPoint deck that looked like it hadn’t been updated in ten years. People around me were clearly disengaged—checking emails, whispering about deadlines, maybe even planning lunch. That was the reality for […]

Picture this: a streaming platform releases a blockbuster movie, and its lead actor doesn’t exist. Not in the way we think of actors existing. No human sat in a trailer waiting for makeup, no one memorized lines or wrestled with stage fright. Instead, an AI-generated performer—crafted pixel by pixel, frame by frame—delivers every line with

I’ll start with a confession: I have a soft spot for YouTube creators. Maybe it’s because I’ve spent countless nights watching videos that range from silly cat compilations to deep-dive educational breakdowns that taught me things no classroom ever did. YouTube has always had this mix of intimacy and reach—it feels like a friend talking

Every filmmaker I’ve ever spoken to, whether a seasoned pro or a young student with a shaky handheld camera, starts with a vision. A scene in their head. A story they can’t shake. A world they want to bring to life. But here’s the rub—filmmaking has always been expensive. Camera rentals, actors, sets, post-production… it

I’ll be honest—when I first heard about text-to-video AI, my initial reaction was: no way. Turning a written prompt into moving pictures that look like a film? It sounded like magic, or maybe a clever hoax. But then I saw demos from companies like Runway, Pika Labs, and OpenAI. Suddenly, a sentence like “a medieval

Do AI videos lack soul? That’s the question I’ve been circling in my head lately. On the surface, it feels like the answer should be simple: of course they do. Soul is human, right? It’s in the imperfections, the subtleties, the lived experience an actor or director pours into their work. But when I actually

When was the last time you watched a slick product demo, a polished explainer video, or one of those “talking head” training clips? Chances are, you didn’t think twice about what went into producing it. But behind the scenes, video production costs can be astronomical. For startups—scrappy, lean, constantly balancing growth with survival—that kind of

There’s something magical about music videos. They’ve always been more than just visual add-ons to a song—they’re cultural artifacts, emotional triggers, sometimes even artistic revolutions. From the glossy MTV era of the 1980s to the stripped-down intimacy of YouTube performances, videos have shaped the way we hear and feel music. Now, we’re entering a new

AI has dazzled us with its ability to create video content faster, cheaper, and sometimes more creatively than traditional methods. I’ll admit, the first time I saw an AI-generated video that looked convincingly human, my jaw dropped. It was like watching the future arrive in real time. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: for every jaw-dropping

If you had told me five years ago that entire TikTok videos could be generated from nothing more than a block of text, I probably would’ve smirked. Video was always supposed to be messy—cameras, lights, retakes, editing marathons. But here we are. AI has crashed the party, and suddenly the leap from a single sentence
