A Guide To Floating

《Floating Guide》 is an absurd yet dreamy surreal short film blending cyber-Oriental and retro aesthetics. With a soft, relaxed approach, I try to explore some of the living conditions of modern humans. Outside the porthole of an international flight, clouds roll slowly. Suddenly, a flying pig appears. It flies unhurriedly through the sea of clouds, leading us to a palace floating among the clouds. Deep in the palace lives a reclusive master; he seems to tell us: floating may not mean flying, but learning to live "less heavily." The more you think, the easier you fall; relax a little, and you

Script Description

【Synopsis】The short film opens from the perspective of a passenger in the cabin. Guided by a flying pig carrying a letter, the camera passes through a hazy pink-purple sea of clouds, revealing the "recluse" in the floating palace: a giant gorilla, snow-white with a pink face. Wearing silver sunglasses, it lounges on a modern IKEA-style sofa and, in Wes Anderson-style extreme symmetrical composition, issues a set of absurd "cloud survival guide" rules to the audience. Through bizarre rules such as refusing clothing, rationing water, and clearing distracting thoughts, it shows how to remain absolutely light in a dreamy Eastern world and avoid falling. - 【Script highlights】 Highlight 1: a pink-faced giant ape lounging with sunglasses; an IKEA sofa dotting an Eastern cloud palace. The white-furred pink-skinned gorilla and the minimalist IKEA sofa form the visual center; the background is a pink-beige palace fusing Eastern eaves and futurism. Extreme symmetry with a low-saturation soft-light filter creates a modern yet alienated Eastern dreamcore atmosphere. Highlight 2: the flying pig barges into the cabin with a letter, beginning a pink-purple visual drift. Replacing traditional creatures, a flying pig with a mail pouch streaks past the cabin porthole at high altitude, exchanging glances with a woman in a purple uniform inside the cabin. The camera follows the pig weaving through silky cloud waves, completing a silky transition from the real cabin to the surreal cloud palace. Highlight 3: a carriage hotpot is suddenly drenched by a "stinky rain," visualizing the weight of drinking water. When explaining the "drink less water" rule, the picture instantly cuts to an absurd illustration style: a fashionable modern couple eats hotpot and sings in a retro-futuristic carriage on the ground, while a foul-smelling downpour falls precisely above their heads. This striking visual contrast vividly deconstructs the physical cost behind "lightness." 【Art style】 Basic style words: Eastern dreamcore symmetrical aesthetics, 35mm soft-light film texture, Morandi low-saturation tones, absurd serene surreal atmosphere. - Visual style description: the picture strictly follows Wes Anderson-style central symmetrical composition, perfectly fusing the alienation of Eastern dreamcore with modern minimalism. Tones are mainly low-saturation pink-purple, beige, and cool gray; 35mm film's fine grain and soft-light texture express the haze and lightness of the clouds. The white-furred pink-skinned gorilla and the crisp-lined IKEA sofa form a strong visual contrast inside the aerial palace fusing Eastern eaves, creating an absurd, serene, philosophically rich surreal daydream. 【Shot 1】A woman in a purple retro uniform sits centered on a purple velvet seat, holding a Kindle and reading; outside the porthole behind her is a pink-purple sea of clouds. Composition: medium shot, absolutely central symmetrical composition. Camera: fixed shot, creating a serene filmic texture. Shot type: normal. 【Shot 2】The Kindle screen occupies the frame center, the title reading THE CLOUD CITIES OF AETHEL; the woman's fingertip lightly touches the screen edge. Composition: close-up, top-down symmetrical. Camera: fixed. Shot type: normal. 【Shot 3】The woman slightly raises her head, her gaze shifting toward the side porthole, lips parting slightly, expression showing the focus of being drawn by the anomaly outside the window. Composition: medium-close, rule-of-thirds. Camera: slow push-in to facial close-up. Shot type: normal. 【Shot 4】Facial close-up; the arc light of the porthole reflected in her pupils; a small pig silhouette carrying a mail pouch flashes past outside the window. Composition: extreme facial close-up, centered symmetrical. Camera: fixed. Shot type: normal. 【Shot 5】From over the woman's shoulder, outside the porthole a pink little pig carrying a brown mail pouch hovers lightly, flapping its limbs at ten thousand meters. Composition: over-the-shoulder (OTS), center symmetrical. Camera: slight handheld shake. Shot type: normal. Act 2: Dense cloud path, daytime, exterior. 【Shot 6】The letter-carrying pig weaves through silky pink-purple cloud waves; ahead, an aerial palace fusing Eastern eaves and modern columns gradually appears. Composition: full shot, extended symmetrical composition. Camera: panning push-in, following the pig's momentum. Shot type: normal. 【Shot 7】The grand aerial palace stands symmetrically; pink-beige columns and mirror floor reflect each other; the pig flies toward the huge central arch. Composition: long shot, perfectly symmetrical composition. Camera: fixed wide angle. Shot type: normal.
