Paul, Steve and Simon have been busy developing their fight scenes. I watched some of their work on Paul’s mobile phone and the video clips looked awesome.

Steve managed to book a squash court at a local sports centre and also got some mats organised, they never stopped for 2 hours.

Those guys have worked together before and they will deliver some outstanding performances, have a look at those video clips:

Lessons for all film makers out there:

• Organise a training venue for your fighters, essential and can be difficult to find
• Have a camcorder or video phone to record your work
• Bring in character dimension as early as possible
• Give fight performers enough freedom during the creative process
• Get regular feedback from the fight choreographer

The plan is to let them work on their fight scenes for a few more weeks and then I will join them to bring in the emotional side of their characters. As the producer/director I feel it is important to guide the performers in combining physical and emotional expressions.

It is taking shape slowly but surely, how exciting!
