Paris → CapCut World LA. On foot. — a chain-reaction short film made with CapCut
The brief said forget planes, cars and ride-shares. So I walked from Paris to Los Angeles, and every place physically throws me into the next one.
What I built
• One continuous 30-second journey: a street parade launches me over Paris, a camel, a sandstorm, a lion, a stampede, a sprint on the Atlantic, a whale, a flock of geese, an eagle that steals my bag, a crash landing on the red carpet
• A chain of cause and effect, so the trip reads as one story
• A hero who stays perfectly calm while everything around him goes wrong
• The same face, suit and burgundy bag in every shot, getting dustier, wetter and more crumpled on the way
• Sound effects only, no music, plus a 7-second CapCut World end card
Result
• Entry 2 of my two films for the Contra × CapCut World LA challenge
• Made entirely in CapCut, vertical 9:16, published on TikTok
• Seven script versions before the final one
My role: Concept, story, shot list, direction, edit, sound design (and the face of the hero)
Stack: CapCut (Video Studio with Seedance 2.5, editor, quality enhancement)
