aznkarateboi Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 A group of friends and I have decided to use our martial art talents to create a matrix-like action movie. We are 13 years old and most of us are enrolled in a martial arts class, particularly the ones that look good on the big screen and are so hated at this forum (TKD, Wushu, Capoeira). Here are our experiences in martial arts. - Me- 2 years of wushu, yellow belt in TKD - Person B-5 years of wushu - Person C-Red belt in TKD, beginner in Capoeira, breakdances(sucks) - Person D-6 years of Karate - Person E-former green belt in TKD - A whole bunch of other people who don't do martial arts Any tips, comments, or advice are welcome, for example.. - Tips on good filming technology/tools. - Tips on special effect technology/software. - Tips on fight choreography. - Anything else that you think would be helpful. Seeing that most of the people in this forum are respectful and mature, as martial arts practitioners should be, I would appreciate it if you treat us and our project with respect. Please do not reply if you want to dissuade us, discourage us, flame us, insult us, make a sarcastic remark, etc. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Scran Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 You could take a look at the fight coreography in 'Equilibrium.' Admittedly, the thing died at the box office, but the fight sequences are a nice example of what you can do without vast amounts of digital effects and wire-work. Try as I might, I just cannot think of a witty signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karateka_latino Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Watch the Jackie Chan documentary " MY STUNTS" he explain all about stunts, acrobatics, wire works and fighting for film. Actually he says that you shouldn't do it without the supervision of an expert. Even with the fact those are trained people, they still get hurt, so be carefull man.

monkeygirl Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Jackie Chan has broken his foot and various other bones doing his stunts, and he's a professional...be very careful and use as much protective equipment as possible (i.e. knee & elbow pads hidden under clothing). Good luck! 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
