For the Human by Design

For the Human by Design Challenge, I created Still Human Film Festival, a conceptual independent film festival exploring the emotions, gestures and imperfections technology can reproduce, but never fully understand.

AI generated the raw material. Human judgment shaped the experience. I used Envato’s AI Gen to generate cinematic imagery, visual experiments and motion assets, then built the identity through my own art direction, typography, colour, composition and editing. The 2.39:1 cinematic frame became the core device, creating a flexible system for posters, social content and moving image.

The most important work was not generating more. It was deciding what felt honest, what supported the concept and what needed to be removed.

AI can accelerate the process. Taste, intention and judgment still give the work meaning. Thanks @Envato and @Contra for putting this challenge together!
