Was going back and forth around different ideas and decided the most important client right now is me wanting to use the tools to create social media reels (based on a short series campaign) about the thoughts I have been sharing.
The them for these videos are about undiscovered/unknown species of animals not wanting to be discovered by human because really there is alot that comes with finally being "discovered".
I had to redo prompts and/or go back to original/earlier generations to push things in the direction that mostly aligned with what I was trying to convey. Like most times I was crunched on time and had to accept some generation as close enough after some attempts.
Used AI generation for images and video, and animal sounds from Envato stock assists. Brought together in Canva.
Hopefully will share some of my other ideas I worked on soon.
The wide pans are so discovery channel coded. This is so amazing!!
Well I guess that is what the AI was trained on for animal based videos. No wonder they felt so on point with the style.
They really did! It's spot on!
Forgot the screen shot of my Envato work space. Allowed me to separate the Envato Stock and the AI generations.
nice

Human by Design
This project explores the relationship between human creativity and AI—not as competitors, but as collaborators.
Rather than creating a fully AI-generated film, I focused on documenting a real creative workflow.
The screen recordings of ChatGPT and Envato are real, and most of the visuals were created using Envato Elements assets. AI was intentionally used for only a small number of cinematic shots to support the narrative, while the creative direction, research, prompt development, editing, and storytelling remained human-led.
ChatGPT served as a creative collaborator throughout the project, helping me refine the concept, structure the narrative, improve prompts, and strengthen the overall story.
The goal wasn't to show what AI can create alone—but what humans can create when they know how to direct it.
Proud to submit this project for the Envato × Contra AI Creative Challenge.

This caught my attention immediately. The transitions are really well executed. I'm curious—what part of the creative process took the longest for you?
Amazing concept! It's inspiring to see how many different creative directions came out of this challenge. Thanks for sharing your work!
