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 🤩
Human By Design
Every masterpiece begins with a single idea.
From the first architectural sketches of ancient civilizations to the iconic structures of the modern world, humanity has always transformed imagination into reality.
Human By Design explores this journey through the evolution of a simple pencil stroke.
A single line becomes a geometric idea.
The idea becomes a blueprint.
The blueprint becomes architecture.
And architecture becomes the future.
Using AI as a creative tool, I explored how human vision and technology can work together to transform concepts into cinematic experiences. Each chapter represents a different expression of human creativity — knowledge, harmony, beauty, ambition, innovation, and the possibilities of tomorrow.
The final future city represents the next chapter of design: a world where creativity, technology, and humanity continue to evolve together.
Human By Design is a tribute to the imagination that turns simple ideas into extraordinary realities.

This is absolutely stunning. I really love how you turned a single pencil stroke into the evolution of human civilization. The storytelling, pacing, and visual transitions all feel incredibly cinematic. Beautiful work!
One year apart. Same challenge. Very different AI.
This year: around +90% AI used in the production.
Last year: around 40% AI used in the production.

Going from 40% to 90% AI in a year is a huge jump. What changed most in your actual workflow, is it mostly generation now or still a lot of manual compositing on top?
