Backbone - HK Style Fight Scene

Backbone: A short action film styled and inspired from Hong Kong action cinema. Two officers stakeout a gang-deal at a local park. We channeled Police Story and Lucky Stars into this one for sure. It started as just a day or 2 practice fight and evolved as we put even more days into it, to really make the fights awesome. (Ignore the fact that we call ourselves "CID" even though we're obviously not HK cops or in HK. It was just the vibe).
Shot in March-April. Editing got unfortunately delayed due to my other projects I shot all summer and fall. I'm very glad to finally share it.
Thank you everyone involved for your hard work. Also, props to Justin as it was his first action film and he absolutely crushed it, plus took that wicked water fall.

Nice work! Alec, the first few shots with shaded glasses reminded me of Kommandor Treholt. You almost look just like that guy! :D

You guys, I actually felt like I was watching a Jackie Chan movie. You absolutely nailed the vibe! Everything from the cinematography to the script was spot on. There were some brilliant and beautiful moments in the fight choreography, but there were also some slightly repetitive parts of the fight. I also would like to see more enthusiasm and energy during the fight because I feel like some shots lacked in that a little bit. This is not to say that I can do any better than this, and I do know how hard it is to keep energy levels high while repeating the same sequence over and over again 😆 nice work guys!

[@actionfilmist]
