Painterly · 16:9

Xieyi ink painting that paints itself: five tones of ink and one vermilion seal on procedural rice paper, loaded brushstrokes, mist, bamboo, mountains, a fisher and an ink-bloom transition.

Briefs we tested this kit with

  1. Make a 40-second 16:9 video about a lone traveller crossing a mountain pass at dawn: open on blank paper and a drop of ink, pan the handscroll, end with a pull-back and the seal. Render it to out.mp4.
  2. Make a 45-second 16:9 film about patience: bamboo bending in wind (close, push-in), a fisher whose float never moves (river, rings), and one crane taking off at the end (flying white stroke). One red mark only. Render it to out.mp4.
  3. Make a 30-second 16:9 explainer of how a river reaches the sea in four stages (spring, stream, bend, delta) as a hanging scroll that tilts from sky to ground, one inscription per stage. Render it to out.mp4.
