This is my submission, EditorialGen. I created a fictive Envato AI tool that focuses on the concept of Human by Design to turn your plain photos into editorial-worth artwork. EditorialGen was born through the fusion of ImageGen and VideoGen, two tools that I use daily on all sorts of projects, both for the projects of my clients and my own. This tool allows you to implement your human judgment at each step of the process in order to achieve art that is truly HUMAN and shares your identity and talent. Made with the assistance of the most specific features for your editorial photography. Please watch till the end. And also watch the video of my creative process. You will LAUGH and maybe learn something. Don’t forget to hit that upgoat button! 🐐 I want to thank Contra and Envato, and everybody who participates in this challenge. And I am grateful for extending the duration of the challenge. I needed all the extra time, as you can tell by my late submission. Enjoy and good luck to all participants! Best, Dan

Ngl the staging and editing on this is genuinely so well done, you can tell every shot was actually thought through and not just thrown together. The performance and characterization are on point too — exaggerated in all the right places but still feels grounded in what you're...

oof! finally able to share the final piece!!

if you haven't been keeping up with my updates:

⭐ on day 1 I brainstormed alongside Gemini, merging my ideas with theirs and ending up with an outline of what I wanted to do for this challenge

⭐ day 2 I collected the raw footage I filmed and started putting together a folder with all my assets

⭐ day 3 I dove into Envato for the first time in years and found stock video, music and sfx, and used AI to alter both one of my own clips and a stock one

⭐ day 4 was for the final touches, where I recorded the voiceover and put all the other assets together into the video you can see below - my final submission!

(I also attached a screenshot of what my final project folder looked like - organized by source of each asset)

my biggest AI win was definitely the clip where I asked it to replace my water bottle with the coffee machine and it mimicked my rings and tattoos without me even asking

my AI flop, where I decided to intervene because AI just didn't do it justice, was the voiceover - it just felt off and emotionless, and instead of trying to tweak it to perfection I decided to just pick up the mic and do it myself!

I'm also gonna be sharing this final video on my Instagram @freelancingwithsilvia - feel free to follow me there for all the freelancing vibes 🤩

I love it, Sílvia! I watch your YouTube videos too. 🙂‍↔️
