15-second cinematic animated short.
A narrow wooden suspension bridge crosses a spectacular mountain gorge.
A young woman walks across the bridge.
Suddenly, one suspension cable snaps.
The bridge swings violently sideways.
The woman drops to her knees and grips the wooden ropes.
Several loose boards fall away beneath her.
CUT TO:
A gigantic dragon flies upward through the gorge.
The dragon rises directly underneath the bridge.
It catches the underside of the bridge with both front claws, gripping the heavy structural beams beneath the wooden walkway.
The dragon remains completely below the bridge.
It does not land on the bridge.
It does not step on the bridge.
It supports the bridge from underneath.
The dragon spreads its enormous wings and beats them powerfully.
The swinging bridge becomes steadier.
The woman stays on the bridge and crawls carefully toward the mountain side.
The dragon continues holding the bridge beneath her.
She reaches the solid mountain ledge and climbs safely onto the rock.
The dragon releases the bridge only after the woman is completely safe.
It immediately launches upward through the gorge.
The woman watches from the ledge as the dragon flies past her and disappears into the clouds.
Fast cinematic pacing, clear physical choreography, dynamic camera cuts, spectacular mountain scale, sophisticated stylized creature design, painterly textures, believable weight and movement, dramatic wind and flying debris, strong environmental detail, emotionally powerful but understated.
