Stop Motion Mortal Kombat – Fight Scene

Stop Motion Mortal Kombat

Check out our first stop motion Fight Scene!

My stunt friends and I love to make stop motion videos with stunts in them, often about gaming.. We give you.. Stop Motion Mortal Kombat!

Below is a quick rundown of the shoot, but watch out for the actual Behind the Scenes video of our stop motion fight scene in the next couple of days! It will be on the youtube channel!

OK, let’s get to it! This stop motion fight scene was VERY fun to make! We filmed it in Santa Clarita, and the whole shoot took us about 4-5 hours. Kyle Chebbi (Stop Motion camera and co-director) and I had been planning this shoot for a couple of weeks, and as soon as our schedules lined up, we decided to go for it! I posted a note on my facebook wall the day before, asking if someone wanted to be a part of a stop motion video.. and my stunt friend Joe Sobalo replied!

Joe Sobalo is spinning Rustic Bodomov (Rustic B) around by the leg, in their Stop motion Mortal Kombat fight scene.

We set the stop motion fight up for the next morning, Joe and Kyle got to my house around 9am, and we drove out to the location in Santa Clarita. We stopped to get some waters (very important when you’re filming on any location!), and hiked 10 minutes off the main road, out to our cool location. It was at this point that Kyle and I realized we had filmed an instagram “tester” fight video there exactly a year before!

THE SHOOT

About half of our filming time went towards coming up with the “live action” parts of our video, while the other half went towards filming the Stop Motion Mortal Kombat fight scene. Kyle and Joe were really fun to work with, and we came up with the comedic beats on the spot! I love it when like-minded, positive people come together on a set! It makes for such a rewarding experience.

The stop motion fight part was a bit tricky, trickier than I anticipated. The parts that we had to pay close attention to on this one were; the fact that there were now two people to keep track of during the picture taking, and the fact that it was my friend’s first stop motion shoot (Joe did an AMAZING job, btw! picked it up quick)

POST PRODUCTION

When I got into the edit, I realized that because we filmed under some high powered electrical lines, we had some strong interference noise on the video. After trying several times to remove the noise in Premiere Pro CC, (watching tutorials, etc), Kyle and I decided to just do some “ADR”! ADR stands for Automatic Dialogue Replacement. This meant we had to re-record some of the lines onto our camera, then lay it over the original audio track (deleting the original). This made for an interesting looking clip of me slapping myself uncontrollably as Kyle walks by! You can see that clip on my instagram, or when we post the Stop Motion behind-the-scenes video in the next couple of days 😉

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this video! We’ve been getting very good responses from people so far, and think that we will make more stop motion fight videos soon! If you feel like it, please share Stop Motion Mortal Kombat with your friends! And leave us a comment on the video with any ideas, suggestions, or feedback!

STAY AWESOME!

How to do a Front Handspring

Here is a write-up on my Front Handspring Tutorial!

This is one of the first gymnastics moves that I learned..because it’s one of the simplest! So let’s get into the details of how to do a Front Handspring..

The Front Handspring is a pretty common move that you see used in parkour videos, dance routines, and as some people’s go to “party stunt”, because it’s relatively safe. It also feels very satisfying every time you do it, once you commit it to muscle memory!

The Front Handspring is one of the first moves that I learned back when I first started out doing stunts, parkour, and gymnastics (the other first move was The Handstand). So this is a good beginner move to get into your movement repertoire early on!

Some key points to remember when learning how to do a front handspring, are..

Lunge into the takeoff, like you would for a cartwheel or a roundoff.

Use your shoulders and keep your arms straight to start the spring motion.

Spring through the air and open your hips/arch your back in the air.

Land it just like the Kip Up! Chest and eyes forward.

Spread your feet wide, and land on the balls of your feet! If your handspring is weak, you can still catch yourself on your feet with the proper landing. Something that really helps me think about getting my landings correctly, is to try to do the movement as quietly as possible.

If you face any of these effects, consult a qualified doctor before taking viagra no prescription Get More Information for this medical condition as well as to know the possible risks of developing hypertension, cardiovascular problem, diabetes, kidney problem, vascular problem, hardening of blood etc.
And lastly, with this move, just like the Kip Up..

YOU HAVE TO WANT IT to land it! Just like any gymnastics or stunt movement that requires some skill, it won’t happen by itself! At one point you may hit a wall where you know you need to just do it..so do it!

When I first learned the front handspring, I had been practicing the handstand and kip up for a couple weeks. At one point I found a slightly slanted grassy hill, and just went for the move.

Thanks for watching, BE SAFE, HAVE FUN, see you next time!

Site of the Week: The Stunt People

The Stunt People is an all-in-one independent action performer, filmmaker, and fan resource/news site. I have been following them for almost 5 years and they’re my recommendation for you to check out this week!

The Stunt People logo

This site, run by action artist Eric Jacobus, follows a group of martial artists, acrobats, stunt performers, and filmmakers who work out of the San Francisco Bay Area (California, USA). The members of this awesome collaboration call themselves “The Stunt People”. They have produced several independent feature films, and continue to develop new projects while releasing youtube videos and tutorials on a regular basis.

The Stunt People website features a well-kept and informative Forum, a News page for their projects, and a Store where you can purchase their films and memorabilia.

Eric Jacobus is the founder of this cool project. His expertise in the action film genre stems from producing/starring in several independent action films, and working closely with the San Francisco stunt community to help it expand. He has starred in six feature length films (and countless short films), and is known for his comedic on-screen persona and high-flying acrobatic maneuvers. Among his films are the cult classic Contour, and the critically-acclaimed Death Grip. You can also watch Eric perform as “Stryker” in the second season of the Mortal Kombat Legacy series, premiering later this year. (click image to watch the trailer)

I first stumbled onto the site back when I lived in Scotland, and through the forum I spent several years making friends in independent action filmmaking circles all around the world. I scoured the forum in fascination as I learned important skills as a filmmaker and performer, and got useful feedback on my personal projects. The Stunt People forum inspired me greatly and was one of the main factors that helped me make my decision to move out to Los Angeles and pursue stunts full time.

The quality, attention to detail, and ingenuity that the Stunt People team puts into their work is admirable. As an action fan and fellow filmmaker, I am looking forward to working with them soon..

LUA PHAT: Vietnam’s first Action Fantasy film

Lua Phat (“Once upon a time in Vietnam”) proclaims itself as Vietnam’s first Action Fantasy film. Brought to us by action actor and first-time director Dustin Nguyen, the film is set to be released on August 22, 2013.

Lua Phat, vietnamese action fantasy film poster

My friend Lee Golden, of FCSyndicate, turned me onto this project recently, and I’d like to share it with you.

Lua Phat was originally titled “Monk on Fire”, but the name was recently changed to “Once Upon a Time in Vietnam”. The action film is described as an “Eastern Western”, and features motorcycle-riding kung fu monks, an epic historical setting, and outstanding large-scale battles.

Watch the trailer for Lua Phat below.

“Once upon a time in Vietnam”, produced by the Vietnam Media Corp, spent 5 years in production. It was written and directed by Dustin Nguyen, who also played one of the lead roles. On May 17, a five minute introduction on “Lua Phat” and its two-minute trailer were shown at the Cannes film festival. It was pitched as Vietnam’s first fantasy action film, and is directed by Vietnamese-American director Dustin Nguyen, The showing attracted considerable attention and the president of the Weinstein Company, one of the US’ largest film distributors, said he couldn’t help but give the film a standing ovation.

I’m excited to see this film when it comes out, and I will be closely watching their media campaign as the date draws near. As an action actor who also produces some of his own content, I am rooting for Dustin Nguyen’s film to do well and eventually get a US release.

“Young Blood” short fight film.

So, I just realized I never told you about my past projects! Let’s start with this one..

I moved out to Los Angeles almost two years ago, and last year my friends and I produced our first short film together. We got this short “experimental” project together from concept, to pre-production, to production in 10 days flat!

The project involved a big collaboration between by myself, Cory Demeyers, Deville Vannik, Jesse La Flair, Sean Harmon, James Bendishaw, Josh Yadon, Josh Hill, Julian Hulme, and a couple others. This little short, although rough, shows you how a group of talented individuals can make something happen by sheer will (on the morning of the one day shoot, everything was almost called off due to filming permit problems).

A HUGE THANKS goes to Jesse La Flair for pulling this out of the can and finally editing it together! And thank you all for working together on this, we definitely went through, and learned a lot together! I hope I get to work with these talented and great individuals again in the future..

Without further ado…enjoy!

“Young Blood is a film about young men who fight for money to survive while trying to come up in the underground fight world, in which everything is corrupt and no one is safe. It is clear that everyone in the film is looking out for themselves and some are even forced to fight for their families under the hands of the higher ups. ”

Here is some behind-the-scenes footage of us scouting the locations and choreographing the fights..
