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.

You've done an amazing job.

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?
