Brief: To craft a fast-paced, visually engaging social media edit for a beachside home on 3rd Street, Santa Cruz—just a 10-minute walk from the iconic pier. Affectionately dubbed the Santa Monica Teepee, this property blends coastal charm with family-friendly whimsy, anchored by a children’s room featuring a playful indoor teepee.
Commissioned by The Local Shoot and filmed locally, this project focused on post-production, where I brought the footage to life through dynamic editing. The short-form clip captures the home’s natural light and breezy interiors, using masked transitions and creative reveals to keep viewers immersed. Drone footage sweeps toward the Santa Cruz Wharf and pier, grounding the property in its vibrant coastal location.
Designed for social media impact, this clip moves quickly, balancing architectural highlights with lifestyle cues and visual storytelling. The result is a dynamic teaser that invites curiosity, evokes warmth, and positions the home as a beachside escape with personality.
