For the @Envato challenge, I’m excited to present my personal project: Plinky's Planet.

Designed for curious early learners, Plinky’s Planet is a vibrant animated space adventure. Through playful storytelling and colorful exploration, the series teaches toddlers about the planets, stars, and the beautiful cosmos we call home.

While AI and asset libraries are incredible for scaling production, human taste is what actually builds a world. Here is exactly how I put this together.

🧠 The "Human by Design" Moment

AI generated the raw pieces, but it took human editorial decisions to forge them into a cohesive narrative. The critical moment of human judgment really came down to post-production. The AI handed me raw video and audio, but out of the box, the pacing felt emotionally empty. I had to drop into Adobe Premiere Pro, override the AI's timing, and manually cut the footage to the beat using Envato transitions to force a cinematic rhythm that an algorithm just can't feel.

🛠️ The Envato Toolkit Workflow

Envato was the backbone for this entire IP, driving four distinct phases of the pipeline:

Pre-Production: I authored the foundational scripts to bring the characters to life, and engineered the necessary image and video prompts to facilitate a seamless production pipeline.

Production: Envato’s library served as my visual engine for mother frames and thumbnails. I was able to completely bypass heavy Photoshop masking by using Envato’s built-in background removal and AI upscaler to achieve commercial-grade graphics. From there, I fed motion prompts into the Envato Video Generator.

Post-Production: I used Envato AI SFX to generate toddler-friendly sound design, which I then mixed in Audition. To finalize the visual edit, I brought Envato transitions and karaoke lyric templates into Premiere Pro.

Launch: The final IP is now live across YouTube, Spotify (via DistroKid), and Plinky's Planet official website. Check the full project in youtube:

Project Title: Delizie Siciliane — Human by Design

Description: A 20-25 second AI-generated product promo built entirely with Envato's toolkit — video generation, stock audio, and title templates — for Delizie Siciliane, a Sicilian café and bakery in Sliema, Malta.

The project started with hero pastry stills generated in Envato AI. Comparing the two outputs side by side revealed something important: a technically clean, centred shot felt generic, while a warmer, angled version had real character. That comparison led to the core creative decision — recognising that stills weren't the right format for this brief at all. A product promo needs to move. So the entire piece was rebuilt in motion, with every shot generated to match the voiceover script line by line.

Tools used:

Envato AI (video generation, stock music, title templates, voiceover)

Final Cut Pro X (final assembly and grade)

Human by Design moment: Comparing two AI-generated hero shots — one clean and centred, one warm and imperfect — and using that comparison to make a bigger call: switching the entire promo from stills to full motion video, matched shot-for-shot to the script.
