This fictional movie trailer was created as a showcase edit for an Artlist editing challenge, using only stock footage and music from the Artlist library. The goal was to build a convincing trailer for a made-up film from existing cinematic assets, shaping disconnected footage into a cohesive story with tension, emotion, and momentum.
