I created a complete B2B commercial using Envato's AI creative toolkit.
The idea?
A sloth resolving customer support tickets. 🦥
The hard part wasn't generating the assets.
It was making the creative decisions.
The storyboard didn't tell the story.
The phone faced the wrong direction.
The sloth kept pressing the button with the wrong hand.
I regenerated that one scene more times than I'd like to admit.
Eventually, I stopped trying better prompts and simply marked the image with a ❌ and a ✅.
That solved it.
This project reminded me that AI can generate almost anything.
But it still doesn't know when the composition feels off, when the story isn't landing, or when a tiny detail breaks the idea.
That's still our job.
For this challenge, I used Envato as my primary creative toolkit to build the entire commercial, from storyboarding and image generation to video, voice over, music, and sound design.
The final ad is only half the story.
The other half is every creative decision behind it.
Two short motion ads for Instaheadshots, an app that turns ordinary selfies into studio-quality professional headshots with AI.
🎬 Ad 1: "Slide to Unlock" (10s)
A product-flow spot. It opens on a glowing slide-to-unlock button, then shows the app's processing and generating screens as a casual selfie becomes a polished headshot. It ends on the brand and a "Try Instaheadshots" CTA.
🎬 Ad 2: "Everyone's Upgrading" (20s)
A social-proof spot. Notification cards stack up as Sarah, Daniel and Priya each post a new profile photo within one week. The punchline is "everyone is using the exact same Instaheadshots to upgrade," which works on FOMO and ends on a clear CTA.
What I did: concept, motion design, UI animation, kinetic typography, sound sync
That mint-and-pink street scene is pure good vibes, love the sneaker detail catching the light. What drives my energy lately is seeing a rough idea actually ship instead of sitting in drafts. Momentum is its own fuel.
