Reading Fantasy Epics compositions

Wizard vs Demon Bridge
The grey wizard stands alone on the narrow span, staff planted, radiant white light blazing from within as divine power manifests. Before him, the shadow-and-flame demon rises wreathed in fire, wings of darkness spreading to fill the ancient hall. The chasm yawns infinitely below, ancient pillars crumbling in deep charcoal. Anamorphic 2.39:1 with deep red-orange fire practical lighting, miniature environments at 1:1 scale.
Fortress Siege Night
In 2002 night-siege epic style: the desperate defense of a mountain fortress. The walls under siege, ten thousand torchbearing orc-like warriors against the rain-lashed grey stone. Lightning flashes illuminate the hopeless odds, the defenders' thin line loosing arrows into the horde. The main tower rises behind, defensive wall stretching into darkness. The storm lashes defenders as explosions breach the wall. Anamorphic with rain-diffused practical lighting, New Zealand location with miniature compositing.
Volcano Ring Finale
In 2003 volcanic-finale epic style: the climactic moment inside the volcanic forge. Rivers of molten lava cast hellish orange light on volcanic rock. Two small figures silhouetted at the precipice, one holding the golden ring at the edge of destruction. Fire and ash swirl in the superheated air, dark malice focused entirely on this moment. An age hangs in the balance, sacrifice and corruption in a single instant. Anamorphic 2.39:1 with heavy practical fire lighting, volcanic gas diffusion.
