FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT: FIGHTING FOR FILM 2015
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA: 23rd and 24th MAY 2015
ONE-DAY FILM FIGHTING EXPERIENCE
TWO-DAY FILM FIGHTING WEEKEND
WHAT IS IT?
An introductory workshop in performing dramatic action for film.
This is a unique opportunity to explore and learn how we create the illusion of fighting and violence for film. It is aimed at the actor’s perspective: how we can perform dramatic action safely and effectively while still maintaining character journey and intention. Also just as importantly, how we manage the technical pressures of performing fights on set. The workshop is lead by professional fight director and fight performer, Lyndall Grant.
The workshop is comprised of two parts:
The Saturday will give you an introduction to the fundamentals of performing on-screen fights – the technical considerations, performance consideration and on-set etiquette. The aim is to let you know what to expect, how to keep yourself and others safe, and how to bring out your best performance when under pressure. The day will culminate in creating small fight scenes as learning tools (please note, all footage from this day is training footage only, and therefore not suitable for release).
This day is open to both actors and crew (directors, camera operators, editors, ADs), and caters to all levels of experience.
The Sunday is shoot day! We will be filming short fight scenes in costume, on set, and under (nice) industry conditions – so that you can gain a true experience of performing action for screen. Performers will both act and crew, to give a perspective from both sides of the process. Each performer will have access to their own rushes, which they can use for show reel or demo material (please note: editing of material is not included in the course or the workshop fee – which gives you the freedom to choose who/how/where you would like your material edited).
This day is open to advanced students only, and because we have with strictly limited numbers, places need to be gained by application.
