The music video created by Paul Trillo for Washed Out's latest single ‘Hardest Part’ is the first officially commissioned project to utilise OpenAI's Sora. Trillo, known for his experimental approach to video art, reveals a fascinating insight into the creative process behind the project, reports nofilmschool. Using Sora, Trillo generated over 700 clips, of which only about 10% were used in the final cut.
