Project Title: Dark Triad Aesthetic — CapCut Pro Template (Official US Challenge Entry)

Role: Visualist • Motion Designer • Sound Designer • CapCut Template Creator Tools: CapCut (mobile)

I designed and submitted a complex multi-layered CapCut Pro Template that explores the psychological concept of the “Shadow Self”. Combining Carl Jung’s archetype of the Shadow with the modern Dark Triad model (Narcissism, Machiavellianism, Psychopathy), the template transforms any four clips into a powerful cinematic story of internal fragmentation and integration. Key technical elements: • 11 overlays with precise diagonal and freeform masking • Advanced keyframe animation synchronized to industrial beats • Custom glitch, chromatic aberration and flash effects • Central pulsing Black Triangle as the symbolic core
