Last week was amazingly fun got to do something that I have always wanted to do on camera...ACTION! British productions never really get to see or do much martial arts on screen.
However working with a fight director who has worked with some of the best martial arts ICONS in Hong Kong was the iceing on the cake! Jude Poyer aka gwai lo on fire, is a humble caucasian brother, i call him a boiled egg, white on the outside and yellow within. There are a couple of other stunt guys that are on a whole other level! It's not a biggy in asia because were use to seeing it on our tv screens but for a uk audience watching tv and seeing people fly around and flip up walls and doing chi blasts! It's all just too crazy...HAHa
But working on the pre production of Bo & the spirirt world has been fun now I just got to learn all my lines etc etc and the real work begins soon. So watch this space. Something hit me though as we were rehearsing the fight scenes! We got to do it take after take and I have even more respect for those actors who do action films. NO PAIN NO GAIN!
