STRATA.
A short film about orientation and what watches us from below.
The camera appears to descend — through earth, root systems, and geological strata — until it surfaces somewhere unexpected, to meet a gaze that was always waiting.

For my #EnvatoChallenge I made a social reel called People.
Every stranger you pass is living a life as full and complicated as your own.
You just never get to see it.
That was the whole starting point. You catch a half-second of someone and your brain files them as an extra in your movie, while they're the main character of theirs, with a whole thing going on you'll never know about.
So I tried to make something that sits in that feeling.
No story line, but just a reminder that everyone's got one.
I used Envato for music, images and videos starting with stock images that I got inspired by and used as references and to expand ideas from those.
I believe the main human by design call I had to make was not only the final edit, but prompting for "imperfect" generations.
AI is trained to give the perfect image every time, centered angles, equal proportions, bright colors. I tried the complete opposite while still trying to make it look like a complete social reel.

From Amazon Listings to a Cinematic Music Video
I joined the Envato AI Challenge to explore AI for Amazon listing design. As I experimented, I became curious about how far the tools could go beyond e-commerce.
Using the remaining challenge generations, I explored character consistency, cinematic lighting, storytelling, and visual continuity. What started as testing gradually evolved into a complete AI-assisted music video.
Workflow
• Original concept and lyrics with Envato
• Music generated with Envato AI Music Generator (vocals are in Serbian, as that was the language I chose during testing)
• Visuals generated with Envato AI Image Generator
• AI animation, editing, color grading, transitions, and final assembly
This project became an exploration of a complete AI creative workflow—from concept to a finished music video.

Going from Amazon listing work to a cinematic music video is a huge creative leap, love that you followed the curiosity. What was the hardest part of adapting AI tools built for product shots into something with actual narrative pacing?
So happy to share this wonderful hashtag#sounddesign exploration in collaboration with TimeFrame . Hope you enjoy it
