    uniE608 "Yoshimi" teaser
    Teaser for an in-progress original short film. Yoshimi is a teenager whose family was taken by an unknown evil force when she was seven years old. As an orphan, she was taken in by the master of a local martial arts school. She's spent every day since then training to become stronger and faster so that when the evil returns, she'll be able to fight back. In this teaser, Yoshimi is confronted by a shadow version of herself. The Shadow is presented as a mirror of Yoshimi's character design, but with an inverted color palette and strange, snake-like movements. The Shadow knows all of Yoshimi's moves, so she'll need to use all of her skill, tenacity, and quick thinking to outsmart her opponent and emerge victorious... animator 2danimator animation 2danimation
