"Teamwork Makes The Great Heist Work." I had a hard time deciding on what to present for the challenge, as there were too many exciting great heists that could be created and presented. The real challenge was how to convey the intensity of a heist in the visual, which made me recalled the Action Movie Poster super challenge and how I struggled with it. I shortlisted a few heists and while thinking about how to present them, I saw the connection between the heists - the success or failure of it primarily lies in the teamwork. That got me inspired to do a visual focusing on the teamwork instead of the heist, showcasing the various roles that we typically see in heist movies. As it is with my experience dealing with visuals that has a lot of different pieces to put into one, the AI just could not get everything done right and it reached a point where I just gave up and just submit the version with the least flaws. I wasn't particularly disappointed that this was at the bottom of the rankings (60 out of 69). I was more amused seeing the many who chose to focus on laser security systems to make the heists look visually more exciting but just looked very unrealistic to me.
