Project: Nobody Was Watching — A Nigerian Short Drama
What I Built and Why
I created Nobody Was Watching, a cinematic 30-second Nigerian short drama designed to tell a powerful, emotional story through realistic visuals, suspense, and human expressions.
The video follows a young Nigerian man who finds a wallet filled with money while struggling financially. When he sees an elderly woman desperately searching for her missing wallet, he faces a difficult moral choice. His decision to return the money delivers a compelling message about honesty, integrity, and doing the right thing even when nobody is watching.
I built this project to demonstrate how AI-powered video creation and creative storytelling can be combined to produce engaging short-form content for social media. My goal was to create a relatable story that captures viewers' attention, connects with their emotions, and encourages meaningful conversations through likes, comments, and shares.
I focused on realistic Nigerian characters, cinematic close-ups, suspenseful pacing, emotional expressions, and natural street ambience to make the story feel authentic and memorable.
This project reflects my interest in AI video production, visual storytelling, and creating impactful content for digital audiences. It also demonstrates my commitment to using creative technology to communicate meaningful messages in a concise and engaging format.

That's how I got to the CapCut World LA event at the Audrey Irmas Pavilion. The trip was... intense! 🦄
This is my entry for the new Contra × CapCut challenge.
My workflow:
① I created the character sheet and the prop sheet for the mushroom, as well as the location sheets for a nature landscape and the Audrey Irmas Pavilion.
② I created still shots using my internal AI image generation tool.
③ I created trippy 2D/3D animated images to use as the opening frames of the videos.
④ I imported all the images into the CapCut Video Studio and used the CapCut AI to animate them.
⑤ I created the music in ElevenLabs/ElevenMusic.
⑥ I edited the videos using DaVinci Resolve.
