They’ve been moving through Paris, passing through the same moments, and almost meeting without ever knowing it. Until one ordinary day, they finally end up Almost in the Same Place.
A short film about timing, coincidence, and the quiet feeling that some encounters are meant to happen.

Building that near-miss tension into just a couple minutes is tricky, you want the audience to feel the almost without spelling it out. Which beat was harder to time right in CapCut, the near-meet moments or the final reveal?

DUALTIDE — Two Timelines. One Story.
What if a video player could show you both where you've been and what lies ahead?
DUALTIDE reimagines video navigation through two mirrored, synchronized timelines — one representing the story already experienced, the other showing the time still ahead.
Created as a cinematic Video.js v10 player experience, DUALTIDE combines visual storytelling with practical interaction.
Features include dual timeline seeking, four interactive chapters, clickable synchronized transcripts, English/German/Spanish language support, multilingual subtitles, keyboard shortcuts, playback controls and responsive design.
An original short film and a minimalist, ocean-inspired interface make navigation part of the storytelling experience.
Our philosophy: A video player shouldn't merely control a story. It should become part of how we experience it.

I made a video player whose timeline listens to the film. 🎧
VESPER is my Video.js v10 skin: one pane of glass, and a seek bar drawn from the recording's own sound. Quiet scenes rest flat, dialogue breathes, and the loud moments rise. No fake equaliser bars — that's Pulse, built from the real audio energy of every film.
Everything else waits inside the same glass and opens only when you ask:
→ Jog: hold Play and turn. The farther you turn, the finer it seeks, with the real frame under your finger.
→ Explore: search a word in the transcript and land on that exact line. Scenes and private Moments live here too.
→ Repeat: loop one sentence, or any A–B range.
→ Sound: tap for volume, hold for a five-band glass EQ with four presets.
→ Dock: hold the grip and move the whole panel to any edge. Pin it and it stays.
It's built to work for everyone: full keyboard control with visible focus, 44 px touch targets, captions you can size and place, higher contrast and calm motion when your device asks for it.
The Sintel film is streamed by Mux, and four more demos (a NASA lesson, a scripted meeting, a product concept and an Icelandic waterfall) show the same controls on very different content.

A seek bar drawn from the film's own sound is a brilliant idea. Quiet scenes flat, loud moments rising, so good.
