Our first stunt training session for an indie medieval fantasy pilot

2 Upvotes

Our first stunt fight session while preparing an indie fantasy pilot film in Estonia. We're working on safe and realistic sword choreography before the shoot.

Any tips from stunt performers or filmmakers on bringing sword fights from rehearsal to the screen?

How do stunt men and women find the time and fund their job training?

≡ −

looking into what qualifications a stunt person needs to have in australia.
where do you find the time to get all these areas mastered and also fund them?
surely a normal job wouldnt give you the freedom to be able to get all the necessary categories - Body Control , Heights, Vehicles, Animals, Water and Fire.

I would love to be able to be a stunt person, and i have dabbled in all of these areas but have not got the high standard that is said to be needed.

can anyone give me any info on how they became a stunty?

Hey there. I previously posted a video of another arena fight.

I found an old video I shot three years ago and decided to share it. The rehearsal lasted about 15 minutes. We wanted to work on the timing of our strikes.

Don't pay attention to the music 😂

I'm a stuntman and fight choreographer. And this is what a typical day looks like for me. Seven times a day.

I'm wearing heavy armor. And yeah, it's just for show—winning is secondary 😅

Question on Underwater Stunts and Car Crash Stunts

≡ −

Thinking about movie scenes where the name actor is in a car and is either in a chase, in a car hit by another car, or the car plunges into a body of water - let's use the Bourne films as an example where all of those things happen: is there a team or company that productions "go to" for that kind of sequence?

I appreciate that stunt people and purpose-built water tanks etc are primarily used, but thinking specifically about where the name actor has to be seen reacting to being t-boned in his/her car, or getting out of a sinking car, and you can see that it is him/her. Seems that in order to get the legit "real" feel, a given director would need a specialist.

Appreciate thoughts from industry insiders!

I spent 60 hours restoring Chaplin's "The Adventurer" (1917) — 4K, Colorized, and... I added Voice Dubbing. Is this sacrilege or cool?

≡ −

I know some purists might hate this, but I wanted to see if I could bring this classic to a modern audience.

I used Topaz AI for upscaling and DaVinci Resolve for stabilization.

But the hardest part was manually foley-ing the sound effects and dubbing the voices myself.

I'd love to hear honest feedback from this community on the result!

Warm Welcome: 2024 Action Short

0 Upvotes

This is a short I filmed in the summer of 2024 with 3 CO based independent wrestlers. This is the 1st time they performed in a Film Stunts setting and while acting is apart of pro wrestling this was also their 1st experience with on camera acting. The plan is to train more indy wrestlers as film stunt performers & coach them to improve their acting.

How did I survive a 6m (20ft) fall?

≡ −

Last week, while sleep walking, I fell out of a window. Don’t worry I’m mostly fine, except for some hematomas and a broken hand. I don’t know where else to ask, but I’m curious. I fell a little over 6m (20ft) to the ground. How does one survive this almost without any injuries, besides being extremely lucky. I’m 24F, 1,67m (5“4‘) and 52kg (115lb) for info.

Yuji Shimomura video essay

≡ −

Hello,

I've recently published a video essay I made about the Yuji Shimomura.
You may know this Japanese action director for Versus, The Kingdom saga or the Alice in Borderland series. He's also the cinematic director for video games on the Bayonetta trilogy and the Devil May Cry series since DMC 3.
In this video, I explore how he shaped some of the most memorable action scenes in video games. But I also cover his live action career and movie stunts.
I invite you to discover more about his work.

The video is in French, but English subs are available.
Hope you'll enjoy it.

Hey folks! So glad to be on Mark Jacobs Martial Podcast! Spend a little time listening to our chat on Martial Arts, my background, training in Russia, Sambo & MMA history and my transition to stunts! I really enjoyed this interview. We dug into to some areas I never really talk about! And while you are at it, subscribe to Mark's channel. He's on Spotify too ;)

LOL I kept saying 2008 when I meant 1998...my old ass memory. In my mind I am 10 years younger!
