Use for IDENTITY ONLY: face, beard, hair, headwear, armour, cloak colour,
build, proportions. IGNORE their white studio background, flat lighting and
standing pose — none of it appears here. All three are mounted and fighting
outdoors from the very first frame.

STYLE (all beats)
An empty dust plain below a huge stone mountain pass at dusk. NO armies, NO
crowds, NO banners, NO spectators — only these three men, their horses, dust
and rock. Overcast sky, low copper sun cutting through blowing dust.
Palette: iron grey, ochre dust, blood red, bronze. Desaturated and earthy.
50mm, shallow focus, heavy haze, film grain, high contrast, hard rim light.
Photorealistic historical epic, sweat, grime, scarred armour, horses lathered
and wild-eyed. No fantasy glow, no magic.
IMPACT: on every heavy strike, sparks burst, grit sprays toward the lens, and
the frame shudders for a single frame. Dust and spray repeatedly streak across
the lens. Keep exactly one camera move per beat — never combine moves.

WEAPONS — no reference. Keep identical throughout, each 1.5x its owner's
height, never swapped.
LU BU: ji halberd — straight spear point, one crescent side blade below it on
one side, long dark shaft, bronze fittings.
GUAN YU: guandao — one heavy broad curved blade with a hook on its back edge,
joined to a long dark shaft by a bronze dragon head.
ZHANG FEI: serpent spear — slender steel blade forged in an S-shaped wave, on a
plain dark shaft bound with cord.

HORSES — no reference. Anatomically correct, four legs, correct joints.
LU BU: large red-chestnut stallion, black mane, bronze fittings, red tassels.
GUAN YU: tall dark bay, black mane and lower legs, plain leather tack.
ZHANG FEI: heavy solid black, thick neck, shaggy fetlocks, battered iron tack.

BEAT 1 (0-4s) ZHANG FEI — bristling beard, black iron armour, serpent spear, black
horse — is already at full gallop, roaring, and rams the spear at LU BU's chest.
LU BU — clean-shaven, gold headdress with two pheasant feathers, red cloak,
halberd, red-chestnut horse — slams it aside with the haft. The two horses hit
chest to chest and rear. The spear tip whips past the lens, a hand's width
from it.
Camera: low at hoof height looking up, tracking alongside the charge.

BEAT 2 (4-8s) LU BU attacks. Three halberd blows in succession — hacking down,
sweeping across, driving up. ZHANG FEI blocks, blocks, and the third blow tears a
shoulder plate off his armour, sending it spinning. His black horse skids
sideways. Sparks spray into the lens.
Camera: MCU, tilted dutch angle, hard push-in on LU BU.

BEAT 3 (8-12s) GUAN YU — long smooth black beard, ruddy face, dark green robe,
green headwrap, guandao, dark bay horse — cra
