AI Video: What’s New and What’s Next

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

Advertising has always been about capturing attention. From catchy jingles on the radio to splashy Super Bowl commercials, marketers have long battled for those fleeting moments of connection. But now, with artificial intelligence reshaping almost every industry, a new contender has entered the ring: AI video ads. And here’s where it gets complicated. On the

The question sounds like something out of a late-night debate between cinephiles: Can artificial intelligence ever replace film directors? At first glance, it feels absurd. Directors are the visionaries, the dreamers, the ones who coax extraordinary performances out of actors and sculpt stories into cinematic experiences. And yet, with AI now generating scripts, storyboards, and

A few years ago, most of us thought of deepfakes as quirky internet experiments—funny face swaps or surreal mashups. Fast forward to now, and the conversation has turned much heavier. Deepfake videos are no longer just memes; they’re raising thorny ethical, legal, and cultural questions. Every time I see a new clip circulating online, I

Not long ago, the idea of seeing a completely digital “actor” on screen, one who never ages, never forgets their lines, and never complains about a long shoot day, would have sounded like science fiction. Yet here we are. AI-generated performers—lifelike digital avatars powered by machine learning—are no longer experimental novelties. They’re being used in
