Story Board for America's Kung-Fu film sensation, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. We were given the script and told to make our own storyboards for a particular scene. For those of you who didn't watch the movie or are relatively hazy on what happened...

(PS. the Green Destiny is green because it has Jade fused into the metal. I know, its such bullshit. 8D)

1: Setting the scene, Li Mu Bai (known as Li from here) has chased Jenn out of the Bamboo forest into a clearing near a waterfall.

2: Some dialogue between the two, mostly a distraught Jenn telling Li to fuck off and leave her alone. Ends with Jenn saying she'll only agree to be his student if he can take the Green Destiny in three moves.

3: Li grabs the sword from a surprised Jenn, catching her off guard without exchanging any actual martial arts.

4. Li, now perched on a ledge slightly higher than Jen tells her to bow down to her teacher in an authoritative manner. Jenn obviously refuses.

5. Li then tells her that in that case she has no need for the Green Destiny and throws it over the waterfall, Jenn responds with a wide-eyed 'Oh shit' expression.

6. Jenn jumps down the waterfall after the sword, desperately trying to get it back.
