Short Synopsis:	"Hunting" is an experimental digital fashion short film in which the producer delves into the concept of digital fashion theater for the first time, using it as a unique form of expression. By combining movement, setting, and music, the film creates a distinctive atmosphere that reflects the essence of Gothic fiction. The short film aims to convey its story through this atmosphere, revealing the hypocrisy that resides within human thought. When a person falls from grace, they are besieged or captured by sharp blades, with the film’s set pieces symbolizing themes of control and hunting. The soundtrack features Antonio Vivaldi’s "Winter" concerto, a composition that evokes a hunting scene, where a hunter pursues their prey in a snow-covered forest. As the white fog envelops them, the identities of the hunter and the prey begin to blur. "Hunting" is an experimental collaboration between Yiran Zhou and Cheeway (Qiwei), intended to guide viewers into a world interwoven with mist and shadows. Through an intense aesthetic experience, the film encourages a reevaluation of one’s existence and inner struggles. At the same time, it seeks to explore and advance the emerging film format of digital fashion theater.
