First fight scene completed

July 29th, 2008 · 5 Comments · Production, Stuntwork

After roughly 5 hours of choreography and rehearsal evenly spread over tonight and last Friday night, my partner and I have completed the fight moves for the first fight scene of the movie. It’s roughly 60 movies long, but those are combined moves. If you count each of our individual moves that number immediately doubles, because if I’m punching, he’s blocking or ducking or taking a hit – and vice versa. You can break the fight down into 4 individual parts, which is nice because it helps you to remember all the various moves if you can work through it one segment at a time.

Although 5 hours may seem like a short time, we had previously spent several hours last year working through the scene – I would say a little more, about 6-7 total. As I mentioned in my previous post, thanks to me having the forethought of taping our rehearsals, we were able to look back at what we had done, incorporate some things but for the most part throw a lot out and come up with new moves that better fit the character’s motives.

I am definetly going to put together a short “behind the scenes” featurette of this fight scene’s development, as this third iteration of the choreography has finally produced a fight that flows well, fits the characters and fits the overall mood of the film at that point as well. We’ve been rehearsing at a different gym, tomorrow night we’ll be able to go to the actual film location and block out the fight in the proper setting to make any final adjustments, then we’ll film a slow run-through for the same reasons I taped us last year, so that we can review moves later on down the road – we have 3 more major fight scenes to choreograph!

Now that we have the moves locked in, the next step is to go through and get our pacing and foot work down. A lot of people don’t think about their feet when they’re doing fight scenes, and they end up just shuffling around as they punch and block with their arms. This is fine to some extent if the camera is catching the actors from the waist up – but not only does this affect the movement of your upper body noticeably, I don’t plan on making use of many tight shots in this film, so the footwork will be visible almost always.

Once we get this cleaned up to a decent level, we’ll be moving right along to the second scene involving the bamboo Kendo swords, or Shinai’s.

    Zwar verläuft nicht alles nach Plan, doch als Bond auf eigene Faust weiter ermittelt kommt
    er auf die Spur von Le Chiffre, dem Bankier einer weltweit operierenden Terror-Organisation.
    In unserem Moviepilot-Podcast diskutieren wir regelmäßig über neue Serien, Filmhighlights und geben dir die
    besten Tipps für dein nächstes Streaming-Abenteuer.
    Falls du auf der Suche nach ähnlichen Filmen bist, lohnt sich ein Blick
    in unser Streaming-Programm. Die Veröffentlichung von Serien und Filmen auf Streaming-Plattformen mit Flatrates erfolgt
    oft zeitnah zum Blu-ray- oder DVD-Start, also etwa
    6–12 Monate nach der Erstausstrahlung oder dem Kinostart.

    Es wird hier nicht etwa einfach ein neues Bond-Abenteuer mit einem neuen Hauptdarsteller erzählt.
    Dieser Film wäre mit Brosnan kaum möglich gewesen. Craig muss den Vergleich mit
    seinen Vorgängern nicht scheuen. Zu blond, zu hässlich, zu
    weibisch, sogar die Fähigkeit, mit einer Gangschaltung umzugehen,
    wurde ihm abgesprochen (alles dummes Zeug, das
    nur nebenbei).

    If you’re new to gambling with crypto, we recommend a custodial hot
    wallet offered by platforms like Binance. Not every crypto casino is
    the same, and not all of them deserve your trust. Wild.io is a quirky-themed, gamified crypto casino that allows
    VPNs. BetPanda is by far the most well-known VPN-friendly, anonymous crypto casino out there.
    Then, you can explore the massive library of 8,500+
    games (many Provably Fair), and enjoy perks like cashback,
    rakeback, and personalized VIP bonuses.
    Players can choose between high-percentage deposit matches or 20% cashback on each of their first four deposits.
    It supports more than 30 cryptocurrencies and does not require KYC, even at withdrawal,
    for most users. Sports bettors can instead opt for a 200% bonus up to
    1,500 USDT + free bets using the code HUNTING.

    Deposits start at just $20, and the registration process is
    fast and KYC-free for crypto users. There’s a built-in sportsbook for betting on all major sporting events, plus 24/7 support via live
    chat.
    When you deposit or withdraw with crypto, casinos usually don’t charge fees of their own. The best Bitcoin casinos even create their own line of
    original Provably Fair games. BitCasino was the first crypto casino
    in the world to get an official license. Not every platform that accepts digital
    currencies offers a safe and fair gambling environment. A crypto
    casino has clear advantages over a traditional site, but caution is essential.

    Many casinos support Litecoin thanks to its low fees and fast confirmation times, ideal for players who want smooth, low-cost transactions.

    Perhaps I am of median height, but one should always try a car out for size.

    The “regular car feel” continues with the conventional
    dashboard layout, as opposed to the MPV-style central meter position of the old
    Alza. So, we’ve established that the Alza is a great family car, but you –
    the driver – are not forgotten.
    We have produced a video review of the Alza 2022 if you prefer watching a
    video to reading text – it’s over 49 minutes long but it’s
    very detailed. You can read our comprehensive coverage on the Perodua Alza 2022 to help you discover if the Alza is a
    suitable choice for your next car purchase. We have done some analysis on how much it costs to maintain the
    Perodua Alza 2022 compared to other cars. In terms of child passenger safety, the Alza comes with 2 sets
    of ISOFIX points to mount child seats on the
    middle row outer two seats.
