1st Fight Scene for Epitaph: Bread and Salt in the can.

We started Friday morning at 9:00 am. My doorbell rang. A weary Joseph Canales entered with a two liter of Mountain Dew. So I'm like "Hey, man, what's up." We chat for a bit, then he tells me he walked for three hours to get to the location. Apparently he got in at about six or so that morning via Greyhound because his car broke down a day after he'd bought it. Through a series of events he decided to walk from the Southside Greyhound station to our location. I have friend who does this in the summer, walking from Blue Island to the Northside. He does it for exercise.  Difference is, he doesn't have to do an action film afterward.

I got him fed and and moments later Adam our DP got there and Christian Dior Creasy who plays Arcus Fallen and who has been volunteering to do the BTS for us. So for the whole day Joseph and I worked on the construction of the scene as Adam plotted out the angles and all the video elements and Christian shot BTS. We got an amazing fight out of it. Everyone was happy with it when they saw it edited together.

It's funny because when I started putting the scene together for some reason I felt l should reverse the flow of battle, weapons first then martial arts, but when I edited it yesterday I decided it was excellent the way it was, martial arts, weapons and then back to martial arts. I ram really happy how it turned out.
