WARRIOR ONE: a lean older swordsman, weathered face, grey-streaked topknot,
faded indigo kimono with a torn sleeve, katana held low in a relaxed grip,
calm and economical in movement. Same appearance throughout, no drift.

WARRIOR TWO: a younger, broader swordsman, shaved sides with a dark
top-knot, black armored haori over a crimson under-layer, a slightly
longer blade held high in an aggressive stance, ferocious and explosive in
movement. Same appearance throughout, no drift.

LOCATION: a narrow snowy mountain pass at dusk, sheer grey rock walls on
either side, deep snowdrift underfoot, thin dead pine trees, wind driving
loose snow sideways, a bruised violet-grey sky, faint warm light bleeding
from the last sliver of sun on the horizon.

COLOR 60:30:10 — 60% cold slate-grey and white snow / 30% deep violet-blue
dusk shadow / 10% accent of the dying warm orange horizon light and a flash
of crimson from Warrior Two's under-layer.

PHYSICS: real blade weight and momentum, boots break through snow crust
with each step, snow kicks up and drifts in the wind on every strike, cloth
and hair whipped by wind and motion, sparks on blade contact, breath
steaming heavy in the cold.

0–3s — THE CLOSE: wide low shot, both warriors circling at a distance in
the pass, snow driving sideways between them. Warrior One's calm stance
against Warrior Two's coiled aggression. They surge together, blades
clearing in the same instant.

3–5s — FIRST CLASH: tight tracking shot as the swords meet in a shower of
sparks, both warriors pivoting past each other, snow exploding from their
footwork, a beat of stillness as they land facing opposite directions.

5–8s — THE EXCHANGE: fast tracking shot circling the pair as blades trade
in a rapid three-strike combo, blocked, parried, blocked again, snow and
steam thrown with every impact, Warrior Two forcing Warrior One back toward
the rock wall.

8–9s — THE OPENING: Warrior One slips a strike by a hair, time begins to
ramp as his blade angles in toward Warrior Two's guard.

9–12s — THE MOMENT, slow motion 120fps: near standstill as the blades lock
edge to edge, sparks frozen mid-scatter, snow suspended in the air around
them, both warriors' faces taut with strain, breath visible and hanging,
the dying orange light catching the steel.

12–15s — THE BREAK, snap back to 24fps: time cracks back, Warrior One
twists free and disengages with a low sweeping strike, Warrior Two staggers
back a step into the snow, both warriors resetting into stance, chests
heaving, blades still raised, the wind howling between them as the shot
holds wide.

AUDIO (no music): howling mountain wind, boots crunchin
