Dreams · Made by Wayne Price and IN-Q with Sora

When AI meets poetry created by Wayne Price and IN-Q.

This is “Dreams” from IN-Q’s new poetry album, The Never Ending Now. This #Sora video was an experiment with director Wayne Price to see what happens when one of the oldest art-forms collaborates with one of the newest.

“Sora is most powerful when you finish a project that spans time and space, with elaborate costumes, locations, and characters, in a matter of hours. Simply impossible before now. I was attempting to nail my favorite tone which is hyper reality with a small dose of the fantastical. I wasn’t sure what was possible, and it took many attempts to get the gold. For this specific project, I was using the “archival” preset, which produced a retro documentary feel - grainy, handheld, somewhat washed out colors. I love this and leaned into the “80s nature documentary” feel. The fantastical elements are placed very subtly throughout the piece, with the key moment happening at the end, to coincide with the final line of IN-Q’s brilliant poem."
