Project Title: The Wrong Shortcut

Project Title: The Wrong Shortcut (CapCut World LA Entry)

Concept & Storyline: Created for the #1000WaysToCCW challenge, this project is a high-octane cinematic movie trailer that humorously explores the absolute worst and most chaotic shortcut imaginable to arrive at CapCut World LA.

Workflow & Process:

AI Generation: Built entirely inside CapCut Video Studio using custom reference images processed through the Seedance AI generator. Dozens of initial generations were filtered, tested, and refined to select only the highest-impact cinematic clips.

Editing & Pacing: Structured in tight, high-retention 2-to-3-second pacing blocks matching professional film-trailer formatting, complete with custom text animation presets (Fade In, Glitch, and Typewriter).

Sound Design: Meticulously sound-scaped using CapCut’s native sound library—featuring Inception-style deep bass drops ("BRAAM"), cinematic risers, heartbeat thuds, and a dramatic 0.5-second audio cut right before the final arrival card to maximize tension.
