Paper Cutout Hero Shadow Comedy

[Overall Style]
Cinematic ancient-style comedy. Merges a real-life traditional opera backstage with a flat 2D Chibi-style sticker character. Focuses on Seedance 2.0 reference-guided performance, controllable lighting and shadows, and stable physical interaction. Uses restrained martial arts aesthetics, warm amber lantern light vs. cool backstage shadows, layered veils, and graphic silhouettes to build a comedy arc about a small character directing their own heroic image.

[Character Setting]
Subject ID: Chibi Female Martial Artist. A 19-23 year old Chibi East Asian female. Round head is 57% of body height. Pale peach flat-shaded skin, dark brown dot eyes, small confident mouth. Black hair in a high circular bun with red tassels. Wearing white boots, black leggings, gold-trimmed red silk opera robe, jade belt, and a mini straight sword. Maintains Cel-shading, thick ink outlines, and flat sticker depth throughout.

[Shot 1 | 0-5s | Wide Shot]
Locked camera with slow dolly-in. Establishes a real opera backstage with wooden beams, red costumes, brass hooks, instrument cases, translucent veils, and a floor lantern. Her full body stands by the lantern while her massive shadow covers the entire veil.

[Shot 2 | 5-10s | Cowboy Shot]
Horizontal tracking. The same robe-wearing Chibi character performs a clean three-beat sword sequence—stepping, turning, slashing. Simultaneously, a realistic human hand pushes the lantern forward, causing her shadow to expand into a towering heroine silhouette. Sleeves and sword movements are perfectly synchronized with the shadow. Sounds of fabric, footsteps, and a deep opera drum punctuate the action.

[Shot 3 | 10-15s | Close-up]
Same character and lantern-lit backstage. The human hand accidentally pulls the lantern back, causing the massive shadow to shrink to a tiny point. She pauses, squints her dot eyes, and uses the mini sword to hook the lantern ring, dragging it back to restore the giant silhouette. She maintains her solemn stance but casts a proud side-glance at the camera. Ends on the sharp contrast between her tiny flat body and the massive shadow.
