This week we found students to work with through face-to-face meetings. In the meantime we decided we wanted to make a short action film together. It is a mythical story in the Chinese style.
Story Background:
The martial god Ivy alone guards the artifact of his former comrade-in-arms (lover) by the sacred tree of the altar.
The cool water of the divine pool suppressed the soul of the spear, and the comrades-in-arms died in front of them and turned into this wisp of soul into their own artifacts, desperately trying to protect their own lovers. Even after many years of death, this wisp of soul does not forget the infinite intention of fighting and killing.
Ivy Looked at the restless spirits in the pool, full of sentimentality, and paced into the formation. The spear seemed to sense the call of its lover and began to emit a piercing beep. Yu Shi was touched by the love of his comrades-in-arms and decided to accompany the spear to dance for a while. With his right hand outstretched, the spear flew in.
( Dancing with spears）
Dancing with a spear, the memory brings himself back to the original scene
Scene 1: On the war zone, the fledgling himself cowardly hiding in the corner, do not dare to resist the enemy, an enemy soldier stared at the Ivy, saw that she had no power to fight back, hit Ivy to the ground, just at the moment of the last blow, the back of the comrade flashed to block the last blow…
Scenario 2:(Happy Memories).
Scene 3:When Ivy can stand alone, the two are in a trouble, and the comrades in arms block in front of Ivy to protect her, and finally she survives alone.
The spear dances to the end and gradually ends.
The spirit gradually quiets down with the passage of time, and the Ivy also remembers the deceased in the dance of the spears. In this altar, guarding a pure land behind him, from war.
