The hardest part of this shot wasn’t the dress. It was the dust: it had to rise from her steps, not float around her. One shot from a 13-shot reel I directed for my studio, PIOM, everything moving left to right, cut in motion.
great idea
thx 🙌
Getting the dust to actually react to her steps instead of just floating is such a subtle detail that sells the realism. Keeping all motion left to right and cutting on movement must make the 13 shots flow beautifully.

If you do motion, you know this choice is never small. Two fly-ins, same scene. A or B?

Option 2 is unique ❤️
Stressa here (again)! for my second entry, I wanted to make another little cinematic adventure, but this time it’s about Stressella’s frens going to CapCut World LA 🦆✨
It all started when these little guys had been hearing about CapCut World NONSTOP. Every day, it’s CapCut World this, CapCut World that. And honestly? They got a little TOO invested lol.
And off they went. No proper travel plans, no tickets, just an expired Wishing Dust and colossal yellow duck with a propeller helmet. They flew through the clouds, startled half the birds in Cornwall, splashed down in Marina del Rey, and started running through LA like they had an actual appointment to keep.
I wanted to turn all that CapCut World hype into a chaotic little adventure, with cinematic scenery, ridiculous characters, and the kind of journey that absolutely did not need a 12-metre duck but got one anyway.
This was alsoooo genuinely so much fun to make! I hope you have as much fun watching it as I did creating it! wml 🤞🥹
Ughhh i love the idea 🙌
🌊✨ What if following a mermaid led you to a whole new world?
For the CapCut World LA Challenge, I came up with a little fantasy story about a young man who encounters a mysterious mermaid in the ocean and follows her to a hidden island filled with lights, music, and celebration. 🎬
I wanted to make it feel like stepping into a dreamy, dark fairy tale, with beautiful visuals, magical moments, and smooth transitions that make the whole journey feel connected.
This was such a fun concept to explore, and I loved bringing together AI filmmaking, storytelling, and cinematic visuals to bring the idea to life.
Would you follow the mermaid? 👀🧜♀️
amazing @SHUBH PATHAK ✧
