A look at how “Deflated”—the follow-up companion piece to the shy kids’ Sora-produced short film “air head”—combines generative AI with traditional filmmaking.

Since we last spoke with the sky kids—the Toronto-based production company and band that was given the chance to demo OpenAI’s upcoming advanced generative video AI model Sora—their Sora-produced short film “air head” has been blowing up the internet.
