VFX: Seven's underwater ballet #90
Description
Seven's extended underwater performance during the confrontation.
Setup:
- Seven floats in graphene suit, underwater drones towing him toward armada
- Compute nodes clustered around him (mobile data center)
- Eyes closed, generating music through neural link
The performance:
- Tai chi-like movements, slow and fluid
- Water resistance makes every gesture otherworldly
- Synchronized with music in ways that look accidental but aren't
- Visuals projected onto water surface (fractals, patterns, ayahuasca geometries)
During combat:
- He doesn't flinch as torpedoes are intercepted around him
- Disabled torpedoes sink past him 'like sleeping sharks'
- The violence becomes a kind of performance
The rise:
- Hypersonic missile gets through, disabled at last moment
- Music stops. His eyes open.
- He breaks the surface for the first time
- Water streaming from graphene suit, face calm
- Music resumes, louder, building to climax
- He grabs the missile's hand and dances
Return:
- He sinks back below the surface
- The drones resume their dance above him
