Cross-Product Creative Challenge #9: Mixing live action and cartoons!
Welcome to the Cross-Product Creative Challenge! Thanks to everyone who participated in the Paleolithic Gallery challenge. Now we're mixing photography and cartoons.
The Challenge:
Create a movie still in which a cartoon character or several interact with character(s) in a real-world photograph. You don't have to make a video, although you can if you want. We're looking for a still that tells a story, like the example below. The cartoon elements can come from Firefly or Illustrator or Photoshop, your choice.
Guidelines:
- A prompt is not enough. Layer your assets and refine your composition. Treat Firefly as a collaborator, not a shortcut. Use prompts to generate characters. Try out Gemini 2.5 Flash or other partner models.
- Think like a director. What’s the story here? Who are the characters? What's happening in the scene?
- It’s a Cross-Product Challenge! Don't do it all in Firefly. Use Photoshop, Illustrator, Substance, Adobe Express—whatever tools will help you build the scene.
- Share your process. Tell us how you created it. What tools did you use? How did you refine your idea? What choices did you make?
