‘Odyssey’ AI Built for Hollywood, Sora Can Wait
Odyssey, dubbed as a Hollywood grade AI system, was recently unveiled by co-founder and CEO Oliver Cameron. The model looks to give visual control to people to allow them to tell a story exactly the way they have imagined. The co-founder believes their text-to-video platform will result in higher-quality movies, shows and video games. https://twitter.com/olivercameron/status/1810335663197413406 Multiple AI Models When compared to OpenAI’s Sora or Google’s Veo, Odyssey has given the reins of control to the users who can direct the visuals as per their needs. Thereby, offering better customisation options for users. Infact, there are a number of AI-video generation platforms in the market. Odyssey’s capability is achieved by delving deeper than traditional text-to-visual models. Instead of using just one model that limits you to one input and one unchangeable output, Odyssey is using four generative models. These models give precise control over each main part of visual storytelling: creating detailed shapes, realistic materials, customisable lighting, and adjustable motion. Together, they let you quickly create scenes and shots exactly as a user envisions them. Furthermore, the company is also developing workflows for expert users, seamlessly integrating into current production methods used in Hollywood, gaming, and others. The company allows compatibility with established workflows in top-tier production, and even edit and export in multiple formats such as 3D file formats. Super Team The team behind Odyssey comprises Hollywood artists and AI researchers from emerging tech verticals including Cruise, Wayve, Waymo, Tesla, Meta and more. The artists have worked with big production names such as Dune, Godzilla, Avengers and others. In addition to Cameron, Jeff Hawke serves as the other co-founder and CTO of Odyssey. The company has raised $9M from investors from Y-Combinator, Google Ventures and many more.
The new text-to-video platform looks to compete with OpenAI’s Sora and other similar options.
