BERLIN GANG BANG

Yo! Finally some news on the stunt front...

I went to Berlin the other day to join David Toeroek and his Martial Artz Meetz Media Team for a Walt Disney movie project called GANGS.

The whole bunch of us got hired as the stunt fighting crew , at the same time playing the main gang members of an Eastern European criminal organization called... uhumm, "The Killers".

Brilliant.

"The Killers": Alex, Olli, Mathieu, ngoh, Thommy, David, Max, Chris, Malte

This is not such a big deal as such... but I'm supposed to mow the lawn today, so I'm desperately looking for some ways to keep myself busy. Writing another blog seems like a pretty good excuse...

Well, anyway... we met up with stunt coordinator Torsten Jerabek & fight choreographer Jaymes

Butler in the Hauptstadt and went through some basic action choreography... which was fun, although I was still crawling on all fours after a weekend of doing martial arts demos at sports events & trying to film some basic tumbling stuff for a new demo reel (I suck at gymnastics, by the way).

On top of that, I'm still struggling with a few injuries that - in spite of having turned from major into minor - are still a considerable pain in the... err, neck. 

That's old age for ya, buster!

Whatever, I think this is going to be a cool job. With some rehearsal days in October and the actual shooting days in November. They encouraged us to come up with our own ideas for the fight scenes (the lazy bastards), so there's even a certain level of creativity involved.

Talking of creativity... I think I gotta go and get out the goddamn lawn mower... let's get this s#$%! over with...

F&%$#*!!!
