Title: Express Delivery
WHAT I BUILT:
A continuous 30-second photorealistic one-take action-comedy created natively with Seedance 2.5 in CapCut Video Studio.
A dedicated courier in a red jumpsuit races against time: sliding under a SWAT vehicle amid flying sparks, dropping onto a convertible driven by a chimpanzee in a tuxedo, launching off a sky ramp, parachuting into a penthouse, and delivering steaming hot pizza to a colossal armored alien warlord in fluffy pink slippers—earning a solid gold bar tip.
WHY I MADE IT:
To test extreme multi-environment spatial transitions, high-velocity camera tracking, destruction physics (sparks, glass fractures, aerial gliding), and comedic visual contrast in a single uninterrupted 30-second take.
WORKFLOW:
• Platform: CapCut Video Studio
• Model: Seedance 2.5 (Native 30s continuous shot)

🍥 What if Naruto’s Rasengan could actually be controlled with your hands?
As a kid, it was just something I saw in anime.
This time, I decided to see if I could bring that idea to life with Python.
So I built Naruto Hand VFX Studio — a real-time computer vision project where hand gestures control:
🔵 Rasengan
⚡ Chidori
🔥 Fireball
💥 Energy Beam
And the interesting part?
These aren’t pre-recorded effects.
Using Python, OpenCV, MediaPipe, and NumPy, the system tracks my hand movements and generates the VFX in real time.
What started as a fun Naruto idea turned into a project where I got to combine computer vision, hand tracking, gesture recognition, animation logic, and procedural VFX in one application.
My setup isn’t a professional studio.
But this project reminded me that you don’t always need a perfect setup to build something interesting.
Sometimes, you just need an idea — and the willingness to build it.
