The phrase "Human by Design" resonated with me the moment I read it. AI has indeed changed what's possible in creative work, but there's a lot of noise about what the creative process actually is, and why it's still, at its core, something very human. For this challenge, I decided to explore what creativity and "Human by Design" mean to me by creating a mixed-media, collage-inspired social reel using Envato Elements as my main media source. DaVinci Resolve and Adobe's Creative Suite were my tools for sampling, remixing, distorting, and combining an absurd amount of elements into bold, unexpected animations that helped me express my words and my thoughts. Hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it. 🧠 šŸš€

Here’s my second submission for the #ShareYourWork challenge šŸš€ LVX Optics — ā€œEl Migranteā€ (Suarez Lens Commercial Edit) LVX Optics introduces theĀ Suarez Lens CollectionĀ withĀ El Migrante — a short film standing in solidarity with displaced communities worldwide. As editor, I reviewed nearly ten hours of footage to build a cohesive, emotionally charged cut weaving stories of migration and resilience: a kitchen worker who crossed the desert, a Caribbean boxer fighting toward his dream, dancers moving through sand like wind, and the voices of twenty real migrants sharing a collective manifesto of hope. Shot in Los Angeles onĀ Red Raptor 8KĀ with the new SUƁREZ lenses, the piece blends documentary realism and cinematic polish into a visual statement on humanity’s shared journey. https://vimeo.com/1118367495

Another submission for #ShareYourWork šŸš€ GroundbreakingĀ is an experimental concept trailer exploring memory, fashion, and identity through synthetic imagery. Using vintage beauty footage re-animated with AI-generated performances, the piece blurs authorship and nostalgia — transforming archival glamour into something unfamiliar and haunting. An exercise in cinematic collage, it questions what it means to create in an era where machines dream in moving images.
