Story summary: In the cyberpunk city of Neo Edo, the Yurei Hackers, led by the mysterious “Kage” and masked like mythical Oni, challenge the Kengō Corp’s economic dominance with a significant digital heist, redirecting funds to the city’s oppressed. In retaliation, the Kengō Corp, under the command of “Hanzo,” who merges samurai tradition with futuristic cybernetics, aims to eliminate the hacker threat with their elite Cyber-Samurai. This escalating conflict captures the attention of Neo Edo’s citizens, who realize that the battle’s outcome will dictate their city’s destiny. The confrontation, merging historical elegance with future brutality, is not just a fight for survival but for the very soul of Neo Edo, pitting the Yurei’s fight for the downtrodden against Kengō’s vision of order and progress.
For my video, I wanted to create a video in the style of an older movie. All my images are in black and white, which gives it that older movie feeling. If possible, I might also try to add a grain effect to give a little more to the aesthetic. As for sound, I want to try and keep it simple; I might add some narration but not throughout the whole video. For sound effects, I plan to add sounds that fit the image and what is occurring. For example, one of my images is a busy market, so I want to add the sounds of a busy market (voices, people walking around, food cooking, etc.). For music, I want to try and find something that is either a mix of traditional Japanese string music or tech music for the cyberpunk aesthetic. If not this, then I will only use traditional Japanese string music.
