The Traitor Within Us ~ Shang Audition

So, this is the most complex video I've ever attempted. Doesn't look anywhere as good as I wanted it to, but I am away on vacation and I just needed to be done with it. I really doubt I will get any farther in the competition, but I had a lot of fun participating. Story: When Shang (Tivo) was young, his grandfather told him stories of heroic warriors in the Great war who battled terrible magical monsters. Shang longed to be a hero too, so when he grew up, he joined the City Guard, where he met and befriended Phoebus. However, Shang quickly became disillusioned when life as a guard was more about stopping petty crime and dealing with less than intelligent underlings, with little chance for being a true hero. The day of the execution, Shang is on duty, supervising other guards and keeping the rowdy, all-too-festive crowd from chaos. Of course, chaos is exactly what breaks out when the traitor puts a piece of himself in several people in the crowd. Shang tries to keep his fellow guards from attacking the victims, but since he himself received a piece of the magic, he finds himself being attacked and is shot with an arrow. Phoebus comes to his rescue and he is able to escape to the woods where he comes across other survivors.
