Limen is my first single. This is the workflow video for its music video.

The entire visual world was generated inside Envato — portraits, organic textures, water. I worked in a single locked palette pulled from the cover art, and generated dozens of variations of every element until the material felt right rather than merely impressive.

My Human by Design moment: the film turns on one image — a root that snaps. AI produced dozens of versions of that break. Every one of them was technically clean. But the break isn't a visual effect, it's the meaning of the piece: the thing that holds you up is the same thing that holds you down, and cutting it costs something. So the decision was never which render looks best — it was at which exact second does it break. I placed it at 2:57, on the one bar where the drums drop out entirely. AI had no way to know that bar mattered.

Workflow: I separated the track into stems and built an expression-driven control rig in After Effects, so every visual parameter is read from the music itself — no keyframes on the reactive layers. Cut points are locked to the measured beat grid (130.085 BPM), and the colour grade follows the stem energy: cold and desaturated at the breakdown, warm and contrasted at the peaks.

Envato became my toolkit. The judgment stayed human.

🎧 Limen — out now.

This is such a great idea. I love that the key decision wasn’t about which version looked best, but about exactly when the root needed to break. Placing it on the drum dropout makes the moment feel really intentional and connected to the music. The whole workflow sounds incredibly thoughtful. Good luck.
