High-Pacing Reel Edit — Short-Form Practice Project
Self-directed short-form edit built to practice fast, retention-first cutting for Reels/Shorts. Structured into quick, punchy segments with tight cut timing to hold attention from the first second.
What I did: Trimmed all dead space, timed cuts to beats/hooks for high pacing, added on-screen text/captions for silent viewing, kept transitions snappy and non-distracting.
We kept zooming in on a planet until it didn't fit on the phone.
A ringed gas giant grows until it fills the whole screen and lands on a deep boom. It's drawn in text characters, one per cell, against black space.
It's 11 seconds, and the sound is ours too.
What should we fly past next?
