Just made my first AI true crime mini film! 🎬 I heard Warner Bros is looking for AI creators to produce dramatization scenes for true crime content. Growing up on Investigation Discovery, I had to try it. Created a ~2 minute Nordic noir-style film using Sora 2's Cameo feature and CapCut. The concept: moody interrogation with flashbacks - those dramatic reenactments where they show couples fighting before something happens. That vibe. The process: → Detailed scene prompts for lighting, framing, emotional tone → CapCut for pacing & transitions Honestly surprised by the depth of emotion AI captured. Not perfect and there are inconsistencies, but it's exciting to see what's possible. After 3 months of creating AI content for brands, exploring narrative storytelling was a fun creative challenge. This is what's possible now!
