LEARN HOW TO SHOOT, DIRECT, AND EDIT CINEMATIC ACTION
WHERE ARE YOU IN YOUR JOURNEY?
“Every time I try to shoot a fight it always ends up looking flat and amateur.”
“I feel like I’m going to waste people’s time or money trying to shoot action because I don’t know what I’m doing.”
“I have no idea what shots to get or what looks good.”
“I don’t know where to put the camera to make things look real.”
“My fight scenes always look cookie cutter and basic. They don’t stand out and look like everything else.”
“I’m scared to even attempt an action scene because I know I’ll screw it up.”
“I can choreograph cool moves but once the camera comes on I’m lost.”
“I get nervous when it comes to directing performers and stunt people.”
“Honestly, I don’t even know where to start”

WHO IS THE CHARACTER
AND WHAT ARE THEY FIGHTING FOR
Of course we’re gonna learn how to shoot fights.
But to shoot compelling fights, this has to be the foundation.
As a martial arts nerd it pains me to say this… but audiences don’t care about choreography.
We’re choreographing for audiences – not other martial arts nerds.
And audiences connect through character and story.
When you start with character:
...the choreography creates itself.

When I was Fight Coordinating Ballerina, Eve being a ballerina defined our entire approach to her fight style.
In real life, ballerinas suffer. They dance with broken bleeding toes.
They push through pain. They endure.
So we used that. She gets beat up. She struggles beat by beat.

MOST PEOPLE NEVER THINK THIS DEEPLY ABOUT CHARACTER
IN FIGHT LAB – WE’LL BREAK DOWN FIGHTS LIKE A DIRECTOR:
• Craft fights that tell a story
• Make choreography feel like discovery – not random
• Create contrast and escalation that create emotional arcs

TRAP TWO – THINKING IN SHOTS, NOT SEQUENCES
MOST CREATORS
• Look at a piece of choreography
• Make sure the punches sell
• Find a cool angle
• Shoot it
• Move on

This results in camera work that doesn’t feel like design.

HOW CINEMATIC FIGHTS ARE BUILT
WHEN YOU THINK IN SEQUENCES
• You’re planning:
• Multiple shots
• Their purpose
• How they fit together
• Before you ever press record
• Multiple shots
• Their purpose
• How they fit together
• Before you ever press record
• Doing it this way forces us to ask:
What is this shot about?
What character, story beat, or emotion am I conveying?
How can the camera reinforce that?
