Parable of the Anthropocene

Hi, I’ve just finished making this video with Shotcut. I think it sums up quite clearly the way most of us live our lives. :slight_smile:

The original concept isn’t mine. I saw a similar montage of people in trains with explosions outside, a while ago on some social media. I thought it was powerful! So I made similar shots (using AI), assembled them, added the chat bubbles and the audio.

Quick english transcript:

– Summer break was awesome :heart:
– 2025: best summer EVER
– And you haven’t heard all of it yet xD
– In 2030 we’ll go in my own car!
– You mean MY car?
– Ah, we’re slowing down… I think this is our stop. Don’t forget to smile. :grimacing:

The song in the background says « We didn’t know ♪ ~ But now we do ♪ – Watcha gonna do? ♪ »

I want to say a big THANK YOU to the Shotcut team! I found out about Shotcut just yesterday, as I needed more than AVIdemux or Windows Movie Maker for this project. I must say, even though the GUI can look complex at first, the learning curve is surprisingly easy! I spent an afternoon on this and learned many things about Shotcut in the process. Now I’ll be sure to use it whenever video editing is involved! :+1:

Ouais, le nez sur le smartphone, totalement indifférent à ce qui se passe autour, c’est la façon de vivre actuelle. Dommage !
Joli premier clip vidéo avec Shotcut :+1:

Yeah, nose buried in your smartphone, totally oblivious to what’s going on around you—that’s the way people live these days. What a shame!
Nice first video clip with Shotcut. :+1:
