SUBJECTS:
Character: a young Chinese dim sum shop girl, delicate chibi proportions, refined and cute facial features but with a tense expression, slightly furrowed brows and rapid breathing, carrying a clear sense of pressure and a hint of fear; short hair slightly flipped outward, moving with high-speed motion; wearing a light-colored traditional Chinese short jacket and apron
Monster: a “giant shrimp dumpling creature”, semi-translucent soft white body, clearly defined folds, the front constantly opening into a huge soft mouth, with steam churning inside
ENVIRONMENT: daytime Chinese main street with a single deep axis; starting point is the open entrance of a Cantonese dim sum shop, the street progresses through a mixed vendor area → lantern alley → roof drying area → the same teahouse facade; endpoint is an outward-extending wooden balcony of the teahouse; cloth ropes always exist and connect both sides of the eaves; no pedestrians throughout
STYLE: plasticine animation style, glossy textures, consistent material rendering across every frame
SHOT 1: Medium shot, 35mm, side tracking / The girl bursts out at high speed from the dark entrance of the dim sum shop, tense expression, fast step frequency; the shrimp dumpling creature springs out from the same space, compresses on landing and instantly launches into pursuit, mouth wide open, repeatedly lunging forward but always just missing / SFX: rapid footsteps, soft-body compression, biting airflow
SHOT 2: Continuous. Low angle, 28mm, forward push / She sprints forward and leaps onto a stall, using rebound force to propel herself ahead; the creature closely follows, repeatedly bouncing and knocking over a soup noodle stand, broth spilling widely across the ground forming a slippery area, while its open mouth nearly reaches her back but still fails to touch / SFX: rebound impact, stall overturning, liquid splashing
SHOT 3: Continuous. Medium shot, 35mm / She enters the lantern alley, steps onto the spilled broth and slides at high speed, forced to lean forward to control balance while continuing to sprint; the creature enters the same slippery zone, slides briefly then immediately compresses and rebounds, lunging from behind but still missing by a small margin / SFX: sliding friction, steam burst
SHOT 4: Continuous. Medium close-up, 50mm, forward push / She jumps onto the roof into the drying area, grabs the continuously present cloth rope and swings at high speed across a gap before releasing forward; the shrimp dumpling creature slams into the roof, flattens on impact, then instantly rebounds and lunges again / SFX: rope tension, soft-body squash
SHOT 5: Continuous. Medium close-up, 50mm, forward follow / Upon landing, she realizes the creature is already close, abruptly stops and turns, forced to change direction, sprinting straight toward the teahouse facade; she plants a foot on a pillar, uses it for a second burst upward, grabs a beam, flips and lands onto the wooden balcony; meanwhile the creature below completes an extreme compression and immediately launches upward in pursuit, nearly passing under her feet / SFX: powerful push-off, pillar step, air rush
SHOT 6: Close-up push-in, 50mm / Just as she exhales in relief, the creature below completes its maximum compression and releases its strongest jump, its huge soft mouth fully open upward in a bite, missing by only a tiny distance; she jerks backward to dodge as the screen cuts to black / SFX: extreme rebound, biting airflow
