Case Study:


Shenmue scenes:

Ryo vs Ghuizang:



Long chain sequence of uninterrupted rhythmic action.

From losing to Lan Di to Ryo Losing to Chai:


Which culminates in the Rematch of owning Chai at the harbor and successfully going after Lan Di:



Makes us cheer for him since Ryo can lose and get hurt. Getting scammed/misled etc. Also he is battling from the bottom up.

Conclusively, Yu's attention to details is also similar to the philosophy of Hong Kong Directors dedication to perfecting their scenes as pointed out in the case study.

Discuss/thoughts? It'd be great if you guys can find other scenes/instances to add to the visual compare/contrast compilations.:geek:
