OTHER: Some Action Tutorials We Made

[WonJohnSoup]

Hey, guys, we got a lot of questions on how we make some of our action short films so a friend and I put together some tutorials. This is the first one edited and we'll be putting out more (and more complex) episodes soon. Hope this helps, cuz DVXUser has been a big part of my filmmaking growth and it's always good karma to give back :thumbsup: Let me know if you've got any requests or questions!

Its ok, now do kicks and tell about hand positions and mistakes that people make with their feet or hands while kicking (yes hand position can ruin the look of your kick).Cause looks like you guys know what youre doing.
You can see in new mission impossible 4 trailer Cruise kick looks lame because his wrists are in very uncontrolled position, like if he did it without learning first or had problems with balance.

Nice tutorial.

It would be cool if you explained your personal strategy for choreographing a scene.

Dude, I'm going to be training an actress tomorrow. I'm going to send some of these to her. I think it will give her an idea of what's going on. She has some martial arts training, but I think this will help her convert training to film fighting.

And good work on those beginner techniques. I use those and a few others to help actors prevent injury when not padded. You guys are doing real good with these vids.
