# Project Description

Alchemy Of Scales And Stardust

Zexin Ou

Summary

Final work

College London College of Fashion

Course BA (Hons) Fashion Styling and Production

Graduation year 2025

The original fashion short film 《Alchemy of Scales and Stardust》 synthesizes Chinese traditional culture with cutting-edge digital technology, thereby establishing a cross-temporal and cross-media artistic expression paradigm. Drawing inspiration from the Chinese myth 《The Legend of the White Snake》, the first segment of the video presents evocative imagery and scenes that convey a tranquil and classical Oriental ambiance. In the latter half, the characters of the White Snake and the Green Snake are reimagined in a futuristic style through advanced 3D modeling and digital rendering techniques. The transformations in their costumes, movements, and bodily structures represent not only technological advancements but also contemporary interpretations of traditional philosophical concepts such as "the interplay of yin and yang" and "spiritual transcendence."
