Two important tips to level up your AI short movie: gather as many references as possible (including character sheets and core assets), and always make a storyboard for each scene. Any AI model works for this, but personally, I love the Nano Banana 2 model.

Most of my collages are built from dozens of images that I source and combine in Photoshop. But sometimes the exact element I have in mind simply doesn't exist, or I can't find the right angle, lighting, or composition.
That's where AI comes in.
For this piece, I used Envato's AI Image Generator to create a custom starting point when I couldn't find the image I needed. I then combined it with assets from Envato Elements, using Photoshop to composite everything together, refine the lighting, color grade the scene, and create the final artwork.
Once the collage was complete, I used Envato's AI Video Generator to bring it to life with subtle movement, then finished the animation in Premiere Pro using additional Envato Elements assets.
For me, AI isn't about pressing a button and calling it art. It's another creative tool—one that helps me bridge the gap between the idea in my head and the final artwork.
My entry for @Envato x contra
I come from fashion, so I naturally think in silhouettes, fabrics, movement and story.
For this project, I started with a couture sketch and imagined the full journey of the dress. I used Envato AI to explore several design directions, bring the selected silhouette to life, create the campaign visuals, animate the story and generate the music.
At each stage, the tools opened new possibilities. My role was to choose, refine and connect them into one coherent fashion narrative.
Hey Sarah! Please resubmit with a loom screen recording that talks through your process using Envato to have this submission be valid.
Built a fitness studio landing page with an integrated AI chatbot using Lovable and Gemini. Class schedules, booking CTAs, testimonials, and a floating chat widget that greets visitors and answers questions.
A chatbot that actually answers scheduling questions instead of just being a lead-gen popup is such a nice touch for a fitness studio. Did Gemini handle the class schedule logic directly, or is that hooked up to a separate booking system behind the scenes?
