Comic Con was a blast, then we shot a short

So Cedrick and I showed our motion comics at comic con,  and they were quite well recieved.

Amazing experience comic con Form of Fanboy!!

now we are working on the next one.

Amazing experience that  is

We got back from San Diego and went right into pre production on a short we had been planning for a long time.  Him longer than me.

This project which is called Admiralty, because it takes place at a futuristic version of the Admiralty bus station in hong kong,   is an adrenaline fueled sci fi kung fu actioner that was amazing to work on.

Cedrick Chan Directed and I served as Action Director.

It was amazing because we did what normally sane people shoot in about 4-5 days, all inside one single shooting day.   Low budgt but we Kept the quality up with the hel[ of some great industry professionals.

I owe so many people beers ;-)

we each wore several hats on this one.

I even ended up being producer and setting up the shoot,  The entire crew was a walk back through all my years in china,  I think one of the only things that got us through is that we had all been working together for nearly a decade.

here we have Derek Ting as the Hero. He really can fly, no wires ;-).  He and Cedrick came up with the concept for the film years ago in hong kong, and never got around to finishing it, but now we have it in the can.

and femme fatale of china  Zhang Bao Wen,  former stunt woman on countless films through the years, now turned actress and kicking up the celluloid in China and beyond.

we were lucky to be shooting at a time when  several films were between ending and others beginning.

 We had a great team, with a mix of guys from Ching Siu Dong's team and Yuen Woo Ping's team

all great friends and great pro's that helped make the day go smoother.

  Stunt man Li Xiang From Yuen Woo Ping stuntman team

Having a good team that you have worked with and trust makes everything go smoother,  we all just knew what each other were thinking.

Now that I got the action in the can, Cedrick will work the real magic and put this all to a futuristic backdrop.  waiting to see what this is going to look like.

it's nice to be out there shooting star wars and sin city style.   so going to sit down and work on the next motion comic while were waiting to see the final product.

Stay tuned,  and check out impact magazine for more in depth articles about all this.
