"A Day in the Life of the Dolphin Co-Worker"
This is a story of overwork, escapism, and the search for peace in a sea of tasks—told through the unlikely perspective of a dolphin who’s just trying to keep up. Through a series of humorous and ironic scenes, the film contrasts the desire to break free from the stress of constant multitasking with the relentless demands of productivity. Set against dreamy landscapes of beaches and waterfalls, the dolphin’s journey highlights the tension between needing to disconnect and facing everyday responsibilities. In this playful reimagining of my entrepreneurial journey, the dolphin embodies the surreal
experience of working with AI as a trusted 'co-worker .' It becomes an extension of my thoughts, stepping in to handle tasks that might otherwise feel overwhelming. It’s a collaborator, an extra brain, and sometimes, the only 'employee' that keeps everything moving forward. The video reflects how we navigate the pressures of work and the ever-present urge to just... escape.

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."
IN-Q is an Emmy nominated poet, multi-platinum songwriter, world renowned speaker and best-selling author. His work explores various themes including mental & emotional health, growth, acceptance, purpose, empowerment and love.
Wayne Price is an Emmy winning filmmaker and content creator with a career focus on music and community. He’s collaborated with world renowned artists (Jon Batiste, Mark Ronson) and brands (Starbucks, Bose) with a style that cuts through flash to highlight the authentic imperfection of life.

“Sora is at its most powerful when the interactive process feels almost like working alongside another human. The creations are incredible because of its ability to fill in details and craft uncanny visuals that blur the line between reality and illusion. It makes you question: What is real?!
What excites me the most is the ‘human-ness’ of the characters, particularly their facial expressions and the emotions they convey. There is immense potential for these visuals to forge strong emotional connections, making it an incredibly powerful communication tool. I also learn from the way Sora interprets prompts—the more I engage with it, the more I learn. I love that I am constantly learning while creating!
In this film Auntie bought some eggs from a mysterious vendor at the market, driven by food cravings intensified by the full moon’s energy. To her surprise, mini aunties hatched from the eggs, throwing big Auntie’s life into delightful chaos. Suddenly, with a squad of tiny assistants by her side, every aspect of Auntie’s life was meticulously taken care of. But one day, just as mysteriously as they had arrived, the mini aunties departed, and the egg stall vanished from the market. ”
“Sora is most powerful when creating new worlds & new physics. Just how real it can be, especially when creating humans, was really a ‘we have arrived’ moment. I have used a lot of different AI tools but nothing has yet come close to the realism of Sora.
I had to adapt my creative process somewhat, it took a few weeks to accept that I will have to reconsider the way I work to make sure im getting the best out of Sora, but once I went through that period of exploration and maybe friction at time, it opened up a totally new level of creative output.
I started my career as a photographer, shooting backstage at fashion shows, being a fly on the wall capturing these tall glamorous creatures slinking through the different stations backstage. This video piece is a throwback to those beginnings in photography and those proving grounds that set my trajectory for the rest of my life.”

“Sora produces images of striking reality and surreality, both represented in this video, which began as an attempt to recreate some family history in West Virginia in 1934, but quickly pivoted to a very different, and utterly fictional short. Working with Sora feels improvisational. You give it direction and it gives that back, sometimes with some other ideas, or a different emphasis. A sense of wonder and amazement colors the process. Often it's an image, unexpectedly beautiful, or unexpectedly strange, that leads to further exploration and discovery. Ultimately, the process feels like a collaboration between our intentions and a field of dreams.”
“Bloomchild" is a coming of age sci-fi film concept that emerged from my own experiences growing up as a first-generation child in the suburbs of Connecticut. There weren’t many other kids that looked or behaved like me. I often felt isolated and misunderstood, not fitting neatly into any group.
My journey of self-acceptance was marked by the struggle to find belonging, while also grappling with the unique aspects of my identity - being an artsy nerd, a tomboy, and an introvert. It wasn't until high school and college, through photography and growing self-confidence, that I began to embrace my differences as creative superpowers.
"Bloomchild" is a celebration of self-acceptance and the beauty of diversity, reflecting the transformative power of embracing one's uniqueness. My hope is to make “Bloomchild” a reality with creative partners and studios who resonate with the story’s message and want to support its creation.
“As a stroke survivor who lost the mobility of the hand, expressing myself has been hard and Sora allows me to put my ideas, feelings (good and bad) on a screen. It became the hand I lost. My goal with Sora and AI in general is to go against realism, to create what doesn’t exist. I want people to dive into the unknown and maybe embrace that there's beauty in weirdness.”

@sms3d is a design studio and creative consultancy specializing in 3D animations and video direction, founded in Berlin by Frieda Femfert and Till Dumke. They used Sora to pilot their "Neoteric Nature" series exploring the intersection of technology and nature, with support from graphic designer Lena Manger and sound artist Manuel Fischer. “Sora can surprise you with beautifully surreal creations… In terms of subject matter, we found that to arrive at something surreal or detached from reality we had to go through many iterations… The creative process definitely becomes more explorative. Instead of creating a whole picture of what we want to create in advance, we start with an idea and kind of go exploring from there. Sometimes it can be hours of testing and trying but then, once you find something that works it can be magical.”
Chris Kittrell, known by his stage name @babyalpaca is a Los Angeles/Colorado based musician who crafts AI-generated visual art and immersive environments for his music. With his music video for "Shadows," Kittrell uses Sora to create a surreal journey through a brutalist-style castle, exploring different realms of a dream world featuring 113 AI-prompted clips and 20 filmed overlays. “Sora allowed me to create locations and character actions to tell my narrative in ways that would have been impossible with a crew of one and a limited budget.”
Tim Fu is a designer and founder of @StudioTimFu a high-tech architectural practice pioneering in computational design and AI, formerly from Zaha Hadid Architects. “Sora revolutionizes architecture by allowing us to vividly explore concepts, while we can build these ideas to life.”
“Beyond images and videos, generative visualization serves as a design process. Spatial quality and materiality can be readily explored in unprecedented speeds, allowing architects and designers to focus on the core values of design instead of the production of visuals.”
@charlottetriebus2800 is a performance artist using art and technology to influence her dance and movement practice. In this project, she worked with Sora to create unexpected forms inspiring the choreography and movement for her dance collective. “I bring Sora's understanding of movement into the rehearsal, alluding to a dimension that comes from agents that have no human form. My dancers then either study and elaborate on Sora’s proposals or respond to them to create a communication between dimensions.”
Danielle Baskin (@djbaskin) is a product designer, situation designer, visual artist, and founder of @entermoonlight a virtual platform for Tarot. In this project, she used Sora to generate video interpretations of a classic major arcana Tarot deck that you can try on their website. “Working with Sora feels a lot like making things inside a dream,” she shared. “The results are otherworldly, unexpected, and they often bend the rules of physics, but that's the beauty! Each video becomes a poetic, evocative part of a grander story, but doesn't quite exist. It's a glimpse into what-if.”
“I'm excited about Sora, not simply as a visual prototyping tool, but as a creative instigator. For me, it feels more like visiting a surrealist museum than pulling out a sketchbook.”
@manu.vision is a multidisciplinary artist and TED speaker. Will Selviz is an immersive director, creative entrepreneur and founder at RENDRD, specializing in emerging tech adoption and computer graphics. Together they created the short film Protopica, which poses the question: ‘What if our lives are the result of intricate choices crafted long before our current existence?’” Sainsily and Selviz shared that Sora was most useful for “rapid prototyping and non-linear iterations to develop a visual aesthetic early in the process.”
The voice-over is Guadeloupean Creole spoken by Manuel Sainsily.
Tammy Lovin is a digital artist and creative director of Tammy Studio, specializing in 3D and emerging technology within XR and AI. “What I love most about Sora is that I feel like I am co-creating with it… It feels like teamwork, in the smoothest and most idealistic way possible. Not being on a solo journey has been pretty significant to me.” The experience has catalyzed new creative processes for her. “It feels a bit like magic to me, being able to actually show in video form what, until now, I was only picturing in my imagination. Ever since I was a kid, I kind of had these montages and surreal visuals about certain things I was seeing in reality, and I’d picture them differently. But since I didn’t become a producer or director, they never really came to life until now. So this is a dream come true.”
Benjamin Desai is a creative technologist and digital artist focused on AR and cofounder of Radical Realities, an award-winning immersive studio. “Excited to share this imaginative look into an alternate past powered by Sora. Blending early 20th-century film aesthetics with whimsical scenarios and placing animals in unexpected roles. This work aims to ignite a sense of wonder while showcasing the potential of today's technology. Creating with Sora is still an experimental process, involving a lot of iteration and fine-tuning. It's much more of a human-AI collaboration than a magic button solution. Check out these fascinating animals and the joy of asking 'what if?'”
