The team at Film Riot have just finished Action Month<\/i>, during which they shot several short action films (and a lot of behind-the-scenes footage) with their production company Triune Films. Listen to host Ryan Connolly describe the reasoning behind decisions and choices of equipment made in the early stages of pre-production planning, through the process of shooting the scene, and finally during post-production editing.<\/p>\n
There’s lots of internet video to watch this week, so not as much commentary from me.<\/p>\n
In the first installment, the team looked at a foot chase. Although you can learn a lot from this, I know you’re here for the combat, so you can scroll down for the fight scenes.<\/p>\n
Week 1: Foot Chase – A Short Action Scene<\/a> As I’ve said before, all fights are chases, so learning how to film a chase is very important. However, the fighting is yet to come.<\/p>\n Week 2: Car Chase – A Short Action Scene<\/a> This is a series of fights in a building that I would categorize as “special forces” fighting. It’s not quite an Eastern martial arts fight because it lacks the exuberant style, but all the fighters seem trained and capable of some deadly hand-to-hand combat.<\/p>\n Week 3: Hall Fight – A Short Action Scene
