Say what you want about "AI slop" discourse, the editing rhythm on this teaser is genuinely sharp. It's one minute long and it still manages to set up a whole world.
This is the clip that convinced a lot of skeptics AI teasers could carry real tension. The Best Editing win at Venice tracks — the cuts do a lot of the storytelling work here.
