The Man with the Iron Fists is a 2012 American martial arts film directed by RZA. This is a prelude to the much-anticipated motion picture, detailing the story of how Blacksmith, played by RZA, landed in China via a Dutch trading ship. Start with overall Art direction, and set tone and manner for movies first. Then, lead character artist, compositor, and editing team for production. I did shot numerous live effects with DSLR camera to add old scroll feeling. Brushstroke character by Chase Conley, Xiongliang Li, was done by digital paint.
