Stunts: Wire Work

In stunt work 'wires' are often used either for safety or to give added effect, for example when someone is hit and they go flying backwards.

Often these days it is overly used to the point where the fights look incredibly fake, that comes to the Stunt Co-ordinator and the Director to work together to get things looking realistic for that scene.

Working with 2 such experienced professionals this is a test run...

Priyanka Chopra Interviews

Priyanka Chopra is the female Indian Star who plays in the Drona movie that I worked on end of last year in Mumbai.

Though I did not personally work with Priyanka, she plays a 'bodyguard' role to Abishek Bachchan. Funnily enough for a bodyguard she was absent when a bodyguard would have been most needed... maybe you'll have to watch the movie to find out.

Priyanka Chopra 

Here are some TV interviews with Priyanka concerning her work in the Drona movie, unfortunately for my International audience the interviews are conducted in the Hindi language, but you can still look :)

The producers of this movie are keeping the story and any information about the movie very secret, so any tit bit that is released is newsworthy for Bollywood film buffs - this includes myself being under a NDA and am unable to discuss or put up photos until after the release date - 15th Aug 2008

Bangkok Adrenaline Trailer Cannes Film Festival Edit

Ray Huber, creative mind behind the whole Bangkok Adrenaline movie is now in France at the Cannes Film Festival to show the Bangkok Adrenaline movie. For this prestigious event there were some changes  to the original edit and some additional footage added.

Watch it and compare it to the original Bangkok Adrenaline Trailer

Bangkok Adrenaline Test Fight

Another fight sequence from the rehearsals in the hall prior to the filming of Bangkok Adrenaline, featuring Daniel O'Neill and Gwion.

The blonde headed muscular guy that appears a few times is Australian Stuntman Marky Lee who also acted as assistant Stunt Co-ordinator on the film between flying up to Chang Mai to work on Rambo IV. 

Som Tam Movie Trailer

The Som Tam movie trailer is finally out, the movie hits Thai cinemas on the 29th May 2008 - Finally 1 decent movie I have done makes it to the big screen in Thailand.

Motion Pictures Stunt Team Fight Sequence

A couple of guys from the Motion Pictures Stunt Team, previously called the Bangkok Adrenaline Stunt Team, have put together a short showreel of their fighting abilities.

In this video Timman and Anis Cheurfa get into it, with a guest appearance by Newik. In case you don't know Timman and Anis are well known in the world of "tricking", and Timman has built quite a well known name for himself in his martial arts niche.

I can safely say that Bangkok is currently home to some of the best in the world in terms of movie martial artists and tricksters.

Recent  developments in the Bangkok Adrenaline saga seem to be pointing very favourably towards us getting some reshoot time to finish the project as an International film, and this will hopefully include a day of Parcour - the free style street running/gymanstics that will bear out my above assertation.

My First Partial Body Burn

A Partial Body Burn is a Stuntman term for setting fire to a stuntmans body in a controlled and hopefully safe way.

It varies from a full body burn in that the fire is only applied to a part of the body, in this case my arm.

Care must be taken though in non-actors union countries as to start with they were also trying to set fire to the vinyl apron I was wearing. Upon showing them that toxic fumes would be going into my face and hte whole apron would melt into my skin and go up in flames within about 5 - 10 seconds they were unconvinced.

Upon flatly refusing to have the plastic apron set on fire while I wore it, then it was agreed that it would only be an arm burn with acceptable leather gloves and internationally acceptable safety measures, like flame retardand.
