Edited this one right after dental surgery.

Definitely not the ideal post-op activity 😭

But the video went on to pull almost 300K views.

The funny part is, the edit itself wasn’t about throwing effects everywhere.

It was about keeping the pacing tight, supporting the story visually, and making sure every edit actually had a reason to be there.

Sometimes the videos you struggle through end up becoming the best case studies.

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 🤞🥹
