A client recently needed a testimonial video from one of his customers.
There was just one problem.
The customer didn't have the time to get on camera and record one.
Instead, the client sent me a photo of the customer along with the written testimonial and I handled the rest using AI.
The goal wasn't simply to generate a talking avatar.
It was to create a testimonial that felt believable.
That meant paying close attention to facial expressions, lip sync, camera movement, lighting, and the outdoor environment so everything felt natural and authentic.
AI can speed up the process, but realism is still in the details.
I also shared a behind-the-scenes screenshot in the comments if you're curious about the workflow.
Another day of prioritising the visuals and imagining a company that doesn't exist. I promise the next one is a tech brief with barely any imagery at all, I've leaned hard on beautiful photography for twelve days straight.
Concept: a mycelium materials company producing leather, packaging and foam grown from fungal networks. The design deliberately inverts the category's defaults; biotech branding tends toward dark, clinical and electric blue, so this one goes warm and botanical, with a subtle looping video of spores drifting and mushrooms emerging. The copy pulls hard the other way: plain, technical, B2B-direct, anchored by two concrete numbers instead of sustainability adjectives.
Twelve briefs across travel, food retail, personal branding, events, landscape architecture, pet services, hospitality, coffee, lighting, wellness, restaurants and now biomaterials.

Suno 6-mini (completely free for everyone) can compose a soundtrack from a single image or video 🤩
I gave it one of my visual projects and let it interpret the mood, colors, textures, and overall vibe into a soundtrack.
And the process was sooo simple. Upload the visual, hit create, and see what Suno hears.
It took me a couple to get to this one, but I looove the idea of adding sound as another layer to the creative process.
Try it with one of your own visuals and let me know what Suno comes up with. 🎧✨
That it read mood and color into a soundtrack instead of just matching genre tags is wild. Did the result land close to what you would've picked yourself, or did it take the project somewhere you didn't expect?
