"The Museum of Us"
I began this project challenge with a simple question:
What if stock isn't just a collection of assets? What if it's the memory of our species?
That single thought reshaped every creative decision that followed.
Instead of telling a story about AI, I chose to tell the story of the millions of human moments that made AI possible: every photograph, every illustration, every frame, every sound, preserved by creators across generations.
My "Human by Design" moment wasn't a single edit. It was choosing this perspective, then refining every frame until the film served that idea.
Created using Envato's ecosystem.
#EnvatoChallenge #Contra A fun one from the archives. 🎬
This was the Samsung Galaxy S20 | S20+ TV commercial I worked on during my time at Filumbaaz. I was involved from concept refinement through post-production, covering editing, VFX, typography, motion graphics, and the final finishing.

Year: 2020 A fashion film I created for So Kamal back in 2019.
What made this project special wasn't just the visuals: it was the idea behind them. Every frame was designed around a playful, gallery-inspired world where the products became part of the environment, turning a simple fashion showcase into a visual experience.
From concept development, art direction and set direction to editing, VFX, compositing, and final finishing, I shaped every stage of the film to ensure the original creative vision carried through to the final frame.
Still one of my favorite concept-led commercial projects. A glimpse into the future, built back in 2022. 🌆
I created this teaser for UNTRACEABLE – Blockchain Futurist Conference, where I handled the post-production, including CGI, VFX, and editing, to bring a cyberpunk vision of a futuristic blockchain city to life.
