The Fight





The philosophy behind the fight in this film was to make it a real scrap.  So, in the choreography of the fight we cut out any big arcing punches and added the use of elbows, headbutts.
Ben and Dustin did an amazing job at working out the story within the fight and I focused on the intent for each of them.
Doing the fight in the confined spaces of the set corridor added another dimension to it, having it constrained into the area and it also proved a challenge to film with such a big camera. 
There were a couple scary moments, a couple cuts and bruises, but I think we have a very believable and brutal little scene.
All credit goes to the boys for getting down and dirty, with no complaints, just the desire to make this the best it can be.
