Summary
Midjourney Fast Hours — Episode 51: “Sora 2, Veo 3 & The AI Video Gold Rush” Drew and Rory crawl out of their creative caves after a month-long “break” (read: total burnout) and immediately get smacked in the face by Sora 2 , Veo 3 , and Midjourney Style Explorer updates that make everything they said last episode obsolete. They break down what’s actually working in Sora 2 (full edits, audio, dialogue, even IP?), why Veo 3 can’t seem to go fast anymore, and how keyframes are quietly becoming the holy grail of AI video. Expect rants about IP chaos, Mr. Rogers cameos, and why OpenAI’s guerilla launch strategy might be the smartest marketing move of 2025. It’s equal parts therapy session, tech panic, and creative caffeine rush — exactly how they like it.
