PP 15 INTERLUDE

During college, I gained my fascination with fight scenes in film. I would constantly research them and see what made them work and eventually decided I wanted to make one myself.

​

With this short, something I wanted to practice was cutting to the beat so I knew I needed to find a good song, once I landed on 'PP 15 INTERLUDE' by Night Lovell I started choreographing the fight. What was nice is it had some intense beats that I thought would be nice to sync with the fight, so I put together a loop and worked out when punches would land. By the time editing came around it was super helpful as these hits were pre synced and timed nicely with the video.

​

This was also my first time incorporating SFX makeup into a production. I feel it really added to the gritty atmosphere I was looking for and helped sell some of the hits. As you'll see from my other work this was only the start of what would eventually become a journey of SFX becoming more and more complex in my films. From a follow up fight using a staple gun to the head to a severed head in the fridge. I really enjoyed these physical visuals and am absolutely fascinated by the work and dedication it takes to create them.
