I decided to join the #RenoiseChallenge and jumped on the very last train - there's only 8 hours left until the challenge ends. 😅
The "last train" part is quite fitting, because my video is about a tram carriage and the everyday routine of office workers.
I created the entire project using Renoise.ai. Huge thanks to the challenge organizers for the 1,000 free credits - I ended up with 54 credits left.
It was a really fun challenge, and I hope my video manages to surprise you!
Here's the simple canvas that helped me bring this project to life. FacePass has been approved✅
Tools used in production:
Renoise Canvas
Midjourney 8.1, GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana 2
Lyria 3 Clip
Seedance 2.0
Editing:
CapCut

My entry for the Envato × Contra Human by Design challenge.
AI has changed the game and made almost anything possible. But just because you can make anything doesn’t mean you always know what to make.
For this one, I took one simple piece of Envato’s identity, the logo, and pushed it as far as I could with one goal: make a pretty sick ad.
From there, it was a lot of experimenting, prompting, failing, refining, and eventually bringing all those ideas to life using Envato’s AI tools.
The result is my take on Human by Design. AI can give us endless possibilities, but someone still has to come up with the idea and decide where to take it.
100% created using Envato’s AI features.
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 🤩
MINITEL DU SUD — La légende se reconnecte 🖥️📞
The idea: what if France's heritage sportswear house revived the Minitel — the terminal that connected millions of French homes from 1982 to 2012 — the way a maison reissues an archive icon?
Making it real: a numbered edition of 50, hand-restored in Marseille, with a full campaign world, a working storefront, and a soundtrack — built end-to-end on Squarespace 7.1 / Fluid Engine.
How Finish Layer made it real:
Font Uploads — a custom pixel typeface as the "machine voice": title, ticker, teletext annotations. No code injection.
Block layering — the serif headline interrupted by the machine; the campaign broadcasting inside the terminal's screen, video layered under the frame.
Pinned hero text — the composition holds through the scroll.
Block Animations — hover reveals hide edition serials behind the campaign cards (N° 07/50 — RÉSERVÉ).
Block Hiding (Mobile) — desktop gets the theater; mobile gets a streamlined vertical flow.
Beyond the layout: a fully functional storefront built with real commerce settings — 50 units in inventory, limit 1 per order, so the scarcity story is enforced by the system, not just the copy. (Concept project: nothing ships, no payments are processed — the store demonstrates the commerce build.) Plus an original French-electronic track — the hold music of 1990, composed for the terminals — closing with a scroll-scaled banner: « MONTE LE SON. »
Toolkit: Midjourney (campaign imagery, locked style refs) · Departure Mono by Helena Zhang (SIL OFL) · Suno (soundtrack) · SquareKicker (window reveal, horizontal scroll, scroll-scale banner)
