Cinematic Martial Arts Short Film: Two-Part Action Sequence

Video Prompt: PART-1 (0:00–0:15) Cinematic live-action martial arts short film. Outdoor ancient Chinese martial arts training ground, wide stone platform surrounded by sparse bamboo, traditional temple with curved red rooftops in the background, stone lanterns, bright blue sky, crisp natural daylight, subtle dust drifting through the air. VIDEO STARTS MID-ACTION - no slow intro. CUT 1 [0:00–0:01] - Extreme close-up, static macro shot: JESSY's wrapped fist slicing through the air, fabric snapping. Percussive drum hit on frame one.

CUT 14 [0:13–0:14] - Rapid handheld close-ups (2 quick cuts within this second): fists and elbows striking the Wing Chun dummy from multiple angles, dummy shaking violently. CUT 15 [0:14–0:15] - Camera pulls back into a wide static hero shot: final palm strike splits the dummy in half in slow motion, splinters exploding outward; JESSY holds a perfect Shaolin stance, robe settling in the breeze.
