Andrés is ready for their next project!
Hi guys, please check out Undertow Echoes, an original AI music video created using Envato as the main tool kit.
I had so many human design moments during this project, my favorite is that I actually got some AI pushback! Midway through I killed an idea that meant redoing a third of the shots. It's language was friendly and it made it seem like it had my back. But I know what's going on. No worries, I stuck it out for us humans, for now.

I love Envato. I used to make loads of After Effects promo videos back in 2016 using their Envato Elements library. I'm glad they're all in on generative AI now.
As soon as I signed up for the contest, I wanted to do a quick promo for the challenge. I had to wait for the weekend because of work, but in the meantime I was gathering assets in the workspace. Looking around the Envato library kept giving me ideas, and that quick promo turned into a 60-second video built from what I found browsing Envato: Stock references became characters, then the music, voiceover, fonts, and transitions all came from their big-ass library.
I think discovery is the most relevant "Human by Design" moment... not correcting a mistake or a design change. We do that too when we collaborate with other people, but discovery is an exclusively human sport. We are the curators of taste, the creative funnel of inspiration. Yes, tools make it faster, and we can now follow every spark to create whatever we want. But that inspiration comes mostly from the need for constant discovery in our ever-changing world. It is beautiful.

For the last few years I've been quietly working on a concept I can't stop thinking about.
The sleep industry has given us a dozen partial solutions and none of them work together. Thirty million Americans have sleep apnea. The best we've come up with is a mask they hate wearing.
The DreamCatcher Pod is my answer to that. A fully enclosed sleep environment that looks like a sleek piece of furniture. Contactless sensors, maskless airflow, a bed that intervenes before you wake up. One box.
This is still a concept. But the concept is detailed, the vision is clear, and I built it to be real.
If you work in sleep health, medical devices, or consumer wellness and this resonates, I'd love a conversation.
I made this video using cutting edge AI tools within melius.com (http://melius.com)

Midnight Snack: a horror short built from two AI workflows

Complex fight AI videos used to be the domain of a few top prompt engineers. Now two photos is all anyone needs.
Epic Fight Creator: Morphic Workflow (https://www.morphic.com/en/workflows/019dc5b5-f03b-747a-b93c-75ce475125ad/epic-fight-creator)
Every AI fight video I'd seen ended in a draw or a vibe shot, not an actual fight with a winner. So this one bakes the outcome in: the first character you upload always wins, and the workflow handles everything else for you. You can always add a specific location or any fight directions you want, or skip the options and run just the workflow. It doesn't matter. You'll always get an epic fight.
Anyone can make one of these now. Drop two faces in and see what your matchup looks like.

Upload a photo of anyone, pick a monster type, a visual style and you’ll get a full creature pack.
Easy Monster Design: Morphic Workflow (https://www.morphic.com/en/workflows/019dbc73-8427-7748-87ff-b38dc155b0be/easy-monster-design)
I wanted the output to feel like a story starter, not another cool AI image that sits in a folder. So you get five assets that work together: a hero shot, a character sheet, two studio portraits of who you were and what you become, and a bio card with a short transformation story you can build from. You can add an optional 6-second video if you want to get a sense of the monster transformation.
Good for a game character, a film opener, or just for fun to scare your group chat.

Give it your data. Get back a complete, beautiful poster in less than a minute.
Data Artwork
Technique: app.flora.ai/techniques/data-artwork (https://app.flora.ai/techniques/data-artwork)
I made this because every time I use any thinking image model, it keeps throwing away half of my data to make things look clean or it messes up the information. That's working backwards. If I give 15 stats, I want 15 stats, organized so I can actually read them.
This technique is built data-first: a brain reads your input, figures out the hierarchy, and hands Nano Banana 2 a prompt that protects every single number. Works in any language. You can drop in a style reference image or color scheme and the brain will design for legibility and beauty.
Try it with your ugliest spreadsheet and let me know how it holds up.

Dream Beef — An AI-generated short film about two pets whose dreams reveal who they really are. The cat dreams of riding dragons into battle and defeating his nemesis — the family dog. Buddy the Labrador just dreams of tennis balls, treats, and belly rubs. A comedy about ego, innocence, and the animals that share our couch.
What makes this short different: Three-act narrative structure. Mixed genres in one film: epic fantasy CGI, grounded apartment comedy, and ethereal dream sequence, all generated from text prompts in Video Studio.

Most babies go through over 6,000 disposable diapers before they’re potty trained. That number stuck with me.
So I created a 30-second spot that feels as premium as a luxury brand but communicates simply grounded in reality.
I used a calmer visual language, restrained typography, and a story built around reduction, with a brand that feels premium.
