STILL WALKING: DESTY / Short Film / CapCut CRE[AI]TE HYBRID

STILL WALKING: DESTY

Three years after the world fell apart, Chris survives by following rules.

Keep moving.

Stay detached.

Don’t take unnecessary risks.

Then he finds Desty.

What begins as a simple encounter with an abandoned puppy forces Chris to make a choice that goes against everything that has kept him alive.

STILL WALKING: DESTY is a short film set in the STILL WALKING post-apocalyptic universe, exploring survival, isolation, responsibility, and the moment when staying alive begins to mean something more.

This film was created for the CapCut CRE[AI]TE HYBRID Challenge, combining AI filmmaking with meaningful real-world material.

REAL-WORLD INPUTS USED IN THE FILM

• I am the real person behind Chris, the main character. My face and voice were used as references.

• Desty is my real dog. Real photographs of him as a puppy and as an adult were used to create his character.

• The exterior environments are based on real photographs I took in Rome during the COVID lockdown, when the streets of the city were almost completely empty.

• Real objects and survival props were also used as visual references.

These real-world elements were transformed and extended through AI filmmaking, with CapCut Video Studio Director Mode playing a primary role in the production process.
