“Dadi Ka Chhakka” is a 45-second comedy about a Pakistani grandmother in a Lahore street whose peas get ruined by a flying cricket ball. She picks up the bat, hits a six so powerful that her charpai lifts into the sky, and she flies calmly across Los Angeles, tasbeeh in hand, to land right at CapCut World. She steps off, ball in hand, and asks the amazed crowd: “Chai peeyega?” I wanted to answer “the wildest way to arrive” with something from home: a dadi, a gali cricket match and a charpai instead of a car. The humor comes from her calm, unbothered attitude in an absurd situation. Made with CapCut Video Studio (Seedance) and edited in the CapCut Video Editor.
“Thank you! Even Dadi’s flight plan needed good lighting first 😄”

I built "Mummy's Slipper," a 48-second AI short film about the most Nigerian way to get to CapCut World LA.
The idea came from something every African kid knows: you don't announce a trip to your mum, you ask. So when I proudly tell my mum "I'm going to LA," she doesn't argue. She just takes off her slipper. One throw sends me through the ceiling, and the slipper chases me across the world: into the Sahara with a camel, onto the Eiffel Tower where it pops my umbrella, and into the Atlantic, where I finally stop running and ride it like a surfboard all the way to LA. I crash into the event, smash a chair, smile and say "Thanks, Mummy"... and then a second slipper hits me.
Why this story: the brief asked for the wildest way to arrive, and I wanted something that was funny without needing explanation, but also personal. The flying slipper is a joke millions of people instantly recognise, from Lagos to London, so it travels well online. I kept dialogue to two lines and let the visuals and timing carry the comedy.
I made the whole thing in CapCut Video Studio, using AI-generated reference images and Omni Reference to keep the characters and the slipper consistent across every scene, then edited, sound-designed and exported it in CapCut.
Thats funny, I love it! Who needs a plane ticket when you have your mom's chancla?

Paris → CapCut World LA in 30 seconds. Paris is jammed and CapCut World LA starts in 30 seconds. A perfectly calm aristocrat takes off in a flying roadster, waves at an airliner, skims the Atlantic, banks around the Statue of Liberty and lands on the red carpet of the Audrey Irmas Pavilion, just in time. Made with CapCut and Seedance 2.5.
