The story “Double Triops” is based on a well-known Chinese God, Triops (三眼二郎神)．
Triops struggles to be the most successful ghost hunter. His powerful third-cannon-eye ensures his ranking as number two on the Top 10 chart, but he wants to be champion. Triops blames his dog, Barker (哮天犬) for being an inefficient ghost searcher.
One day, Triops finds the Grotesque triangle. It suddenly transforms into a three-lens glasses and gives Triops the power to search for ghosts efficiently without needing Barker. Triops gets rid of Barker and hunt on his own. The special power makes Triops feel like a fish in the water, but the power also makes his eyelashes grow uncontrollably. Triops is only steps away from being the champion, but his crazy eyelashes are hurting him seriously. Should keep the glasses on and win the game by risking to be blind? Or should he take them off? Will Baker return to help Triops decide?

____________________CAMERA ANGLE____________________
To create the dramatic feeling, the camera angle helps telling story step by step. Just take the opening as an example. The first full shot shows the gap between the characters. Then the camera holds on and shows Triops emotion change. Finally the wide shot expose what Barker is actually doing. The strong feeling and humor can be created.
To emphasis the heroic moment, the angle and pose were reference the classic Japan cartoon to show how a hero kills enemy.
The camera split is for showing different important thing at the same time. The interaction between these frames is important for telling what is happening now. Some angles are for strengthen the tension and make fun. The shot like it create a sense of humor and sex related.
Using different camera sizes can help telling story. Zooming in to the object or character can let people keeping eye on it.
The angle from top side adds pressure to the sense. The impact and stress can be increase. The changes of depth of field can swift the focal point from point A to point B. The last one (Barker) appears clearly. It can direct audience’s eyes to the main object in the sense. The wide shot side view is for illustrating where the grotesque triangle goes finally. What is more, the side view shot can show what is happening straightly forward after several complex senses.
“Zoom in; track out” was applied successfully! It is the first time of applying it since Director Adam Wong Sau Ping had introduced it two year ago. The reason of using it is because it can increase the space in the screen. Besides, max with depth of field turning can make a strong impact of the sudden change moment.
________________________LIGHTING________________________
The aim of using lighting effect is strengthen the mood and beautify the sense. Color contradiction between magenta and cyan were highly used for creating mood. The reason of using these two colors is that magenta and purple color can easily let audience links up the story with ghost and strange issue. The cyan is cool and flesh so it can be refresh audience mind and eyes with strobr>
Magenta and purple light make the sense look strange. When Magenta and cyan mix together. Color contradiction is obvious.
The growing up lighting also rises up the power. When the power is increasing, the lighting intensity will up at the same time. It is illusion of the power grow.

_____________________VISUAL EFFECT____________________
Third Eye Cannon
The lighting shoot is cool and brilliant to create a powerful and duzzling cannon shooting. Besides what the tutorial had taugh, additional partical effect and adjustment were the key to make it more fit the visual style.
Besides the light ball, 2D tracking play important role on it since the ball has to be accurately on the ideal position.

Glasses Effect
To represent how the pair of grotesque glasses affects Triops, the effect of the pair of glasses creates another world to let audience watch what Triops is watching in first person.
This was referenced from the radar and detector. Something like parameters and symbols are shown. Those elements are Chinese style like Feng Shui luopen and I ching icons.

Flashback Effect
The flashback effect is using for recall Triops memory with Barker. The key is let the thing look old and have an obvious visual contrast to the reality.
Therefore, the common dark yellow warm tone and the frame and the texture are old paper. Those elements were used to present the flashback senses to recall Triops unhappy memories. The transition between each memory recall is the higher exposure.
