Horse, bow, cat
24Ink-wash painterly animation, a kung fu practitioner in loose white clothing flows through stances on a misty mountain ledge, flowing brushstroke style, the camera craning slowly up and back to reveal the peaks. 0–2s: she sinks into a low horse stance, fists at her hips. 2–4s: she turns into a long bow stance, right palm pushing forward. 4–6s: she shifts her weight back into a cat stance, front foot touching only on its toes. 6–8s: she rises and brings her feet together, palms meeting at her chest, now small against vast misty mountains. Throughout: full body in frame, ink mist drifting, pale paper texture, black and vermilion accents.
Name each stance and give it its own two seconds. Weight shifts are slow enough that real time works.
