Paris → CapCut World LA

Paris → CapCut World LA in 30 seconds — a deadpan blockbuster made with CapCut

Paris is jammed and CapCut World LA starts in 30 seconds. A perfectly calm aristocrat presses one brass button, and his silver roadster lifts off.

What I built • A 30-second race against the clock: Paris gridlock, an airliner, the Atlantic, the Statue of Liberty, the red carpet of the Audrey Irmas Pavilion • A recurring hero and an invented roadster (no brand), kept identical from the first shot to the last • Flight that reads as real: level lift-off and landing, nose down to accelerate, banked turns, vapor that always streams away from the thrust • Transitions through vapor, clouds, sea spray and sun flares, so the trip feels like one ride • A 7-second animated CapCut World end card

Result • Entry 1 of my two films for the Contra × CapCut World LA challenge • 4K vertical master, published on TikTok and Instagram • About 15 script versions, each result reviewed frame by frame
