Rehearsal — a woman keeps re-recording the same loving message to camera. By the end, you understand why: she's training an AI of herself before she dies, so her daughter is never alone in the morning. Built in Renoise, using FacePass to keep her face consistent across every shot.
I built this amazing masterpiece with #Renoise using their powerful canvas for the #RenoiseChallenge powered by #Contra
Worfklow
1. Login to Renoise.ai
2. Look at left sidebar - click on canvas
3. Right click or double click on canvas to see the node and choose the one that is needed. In my case, I first selected image.
4. Prompt to Generate images of main characters and register their faces to keep the faces consistent throughout video
Example: My prompt for Mother face
Cinematic close-up portrait of a warm woman in her late 30s, gentle tired eyes, soft natural smile, defined cheekbones, a small beauty mark above her lip, long dark hair loosely tied back, minimal makeup, realistic detailed skin with subtle texture, soft window light from one side, shallow depth of field, neutral home background, photorealistic, emotional and kind expression.
5. In each node (either image/video) you'll see an icon for face registration in top left corner- click that and follow the step
6. Once face is registered you'll see Green Checkbox
7. Now, click on + icon on right side of image to create a new node. I selected video node as I wanted to create my first clip.
8. Keep doing the same work for rest of clips. Choose AI Credit wisely.
BTW: One image takes: 8 credit and one video takes (around 100-400 credits for every 5 seconds)
9. If you have to use multiple faces in a single clip Don't FORGET TO CONNECT ALL NEEDED IMAGES TO THAT VIDEO NODE.
10. After generating all clips- go to each click click on heart icon to put it to Final Cut Box and hit download.
11. Track file location- extract zip folder
12. Import all files to a video editor
13. Edit video as per need and export

AI Spec Ad
This spot was created entirely using AI tools, from start to finish — no cameras, no actors, no shoot.
It began with a base image generated in ComfyUI, building out the visual concept of "Sleep Analysis" — a human face transformed into a data dashboard, with sleep metrics, heart rate, and apnea alerts layered directly onto the skin, as if technology could read the body in real time.
From that image, the motion and narrative were built in Seedance, animating each interaction: the tap on "Sleep Score" that triggers a purple-and-orange gradient of light, and the cut to "Sleep Apnea," where everything goes dark and a scanning light sweeps across the face as she sleeps.
The result is an exercise in AI-driven creative direction — showing how a product campaign, in this case built around the concept of wearable-free sleep tracking, can be fully constructed using generative models, from the first frame to the final animated piece, while maintaining visual consistency, cinematic lighting, and a clear narrative in just 15 seconds.
No humans were filmed. No locations were rented. 100% AI, from image to video.
This looks fantastic
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 🤩
Here is our submission for the Envato Human by Design Challenge
Instead of creating a fictional brief, we treated "Envato" as our client.
We asked ourselves one simple question:
What does it take to create a video for the Envato Challenge?
That led us to a slightly unconventional approach. Rather than making a behind-the-scenes film, we made the creative process become the story itself.
The entire video is built around breaking the fourth wall, a storytelling technique that only works when there's a human intentionally guiding the audience through it. It felt like the perfect way to interpret Human by Design, where the tools help create the work, but the idea, intent, and storytelling remain deeply human.
Using Envato's AI Voice, Images, Music, SFX and Motion Graphics, we brought that concept to life.
We hope you enjoy our take on Human by Design and the way we chose to break the fourth wall. A risk worth taken as the challenge as the Project itself.
