  • The Good Guy - Day 2 Production

    2011-07-08 2:00PM / 標準BLOG / 會員可以看

      The first night ended with a visit from the local Hong Kong Police Force, good thing we were finishing our last shot before they came and after they came out of their truck we politely told them we weren't fighting and just shooting a little movie.  We got our shot anyway before the night ended.



      The next day was shot just a block away from where we were the first night. Got to be honest here, after the night before with cops, I was not too thrilled to have to get out here again and this time wear a robber's mask and punch the crap out of a student, but once we got filming I just said hell with it, let's make our movie!

      This scene involved Charles approaching Phillip the Businessman (Ben Eppel) about to jump him for his money but then both of them stop put when they witness an incident across the street!


    Uh oh! This can't be good.  A young student (Chanelle Tong, above) gets attacked and kidnapped by a robber! Chanelle was a young full of energy actress who I had met while doing some plays with schools...Grease and Cinderella, I always wanted to see what else she could do with a little work.  She worked real hard and is so young, but just a great gal!  Felt bad having to punch her in the gut over....and over again! But I figured who better to do it then me!



    The night before we had Albert Leung, and tonight we had the honor of working with Herbert Leung (below) the other half of Double Conflict Productions.  Herbert much like his brother was talented all around.  I really enjoyed working with him too! He's got cool hair too! Just look for yourselves!


          Wait a minute!  Are we on the wrong side of the street? 

     
    Honey, looks like its gonna be a long night after all. .

      When we finished that part, we moved on right away to the action scene!  Just a few blocks over by the bus terminus, we found a seedy, low lit but great view location.



      In this scene Charles makes the decision to go help the poor girl!  Risking his own life in the process!



    Hero?


    "Excuse me, do I hit him first or does he hit me first?"


    Gotta love the light set up!  It works!

     
    I did prepare that there might be a slight possibility for injury during this particular scene, but never thought that person would have been me!

     Next time, I'll be sure to pay the actors. Noted. Haha!



      All and all it was a great shoot!  So many things happened that evening...the bottom of my shoe wore and tore off during my chasing Chanelle bit, got a nose bleed, we changed the ending, I learned a few things or two about choreographing a fight as to where the camera can go, and there was talk about a pizza Ben had ordered that gotten eaten before he or I could get a piece! 
    Just one more night and TGG would wrap!
