I made a short AI film for the CapCut LA Challenge, together with my friend @Sarah Smaili
The idea comes from a TV show I watched as a kid. I still remember how it felt, that small fantasy world where anything could happen. I wanted to bring that feeling back.
And the owl that delivers the letters? That part is pure Harry Potter love.
I’ve wanted to try AI video and visual storytelling for a long time. This challenge was the push I needed. Over the next few posts I’ll share how we made it.

Stepping Through Art History to CapCut World LA 🎨✨ → 📍Audrey Irmas Pavilion
For the "Unexpected Arrival" theme, I wanted to blur the boundary between classic human artistry and next-gen AI filmmaking. Instead of a standard commute to Los Angeles, the journey pulls me directly through living, breathing masterpieces—from the swirling skies of Van Gogh’s The Starry Night and the crashing barrels of Hokusai’s The Great Wave, all the way to the iconic trapezoidal facade and barrel-vaulted ceiling of the Audrey Irmas Pavilion for CapCut World LA.
How I built it:
AI Generation & Continuity: Built as a connected 9-scene sequence using Seedance 2.5 inside CapCut, maintaining character consistency and fluid motion across completely distinct artistic styles and eras.
Editing & Polish in CapCut: Stitched and paced the transitions so each painting seamlessly morphs into the next dimension, combining keyframe camera momentum, color matching, and immersive sound design to make the final arrival in LA hit with maximum impact.
Why I built it:
Every era of art had its own medium—from oil on canvas and woodblock prints to digital timelines. AI and CapCut are the new canvas. I built this piece to celebrate how creative technology lets us step inside our wildest visual ideas and bring them to life in seconds.
Brilliant concept Pedro! 🎨 Stepping through Art History for an "Unexpected Arrival" is genius - blurring classic human artistry with next-gen AI filmmaking is such a powerful angle. Love the creative take on the journey to Audrey Irmas Pavilion instead of a standard commute. Can't wait to see the full piece!
