"Life often gives us lemons, but on some rare occasions, life hands us the sweetest, unexpected oranges. For us, this came as an opportunity to create a music video for Ed Sheeran, something we would have never thought of even in our wildest dreams.
Hello UKposts fam! We're Anshul Mittal and Kanika Gupta - two engineers working at fintech startups while exploring Artificial Intelligence (AI) based content generation on the side as @digiscape.ai. Applying for this Fan Commissioned Video Contest happened very serendipitously, and boy are we glad that we took a chance!
Upon listening to the song, our first impression was that it delves into the theme of love that society often deems unacceptable. We wanted to spotlight the stories, challenges, love sagas, and triumphs of the LGBTQ+ community. The goal with this video is to amplify the message of inclusivity, advocating for a more open and accepting society that embraces diversity.
What sets this creation apart, you ask? It has all been made possible by the magic of Artificial Intelligence, giving a fresh, tech-infused perspective to these heartfelt narratives. We’ve tried to weave together the highs and lows, celebrating victories, and embracing love - all through the lens of AI. We hope to have created an authentic and human experience that bridges technology and emotion in this captivating video.
In the beautiful symphony of life, love is the universal melody, transcending boundaries and echoing the simple truth: love is love." - Anshul Mittal and Kanika Gupta

Head ▷Heels Lyrics:
She came in the bedroom
Looking like a photograph
Turned to face the window
Moonlight traced the contours of her back
Only she can see me
Shed the skin that guards the man
Sheltered by the ceiling
This is the start and end of everything
We’ll go it alone
Coz no one will understand
Oh it just feels like flying
Here within the confines of your bed
How beautiful we blend
Crashing in head then heels
Unrequited love songs
Longing words we used to sing
Faith was in the first one
We opened up our hearts to let them in
Now all these scars are keloid
Reminding us and cautioning
Rebuild what was destroyed
Turn it, then the chapter can begin
We’ll go it alone
Coz no one will understand
How this just feels like flying
Here within the confines of your bed
How beautiful we blend
and
Together we soar
High over the old wasteland
We escaped the fire
Planted roots when there was nothing left
How beautiful we blend
Crashing in head then heels
