Choose a Weapon with the Stunt People

The Stunt People are one of my favorite action teams out there. They are always trying to raise the bar and do something new and different. Many of you will remember them from the FPS Lightsaber battle. If not, click the link! This new video is the next evolution of that type of fight scene.

I give you, the “Choose Your Weapon” Round 1

Choose Your Weapon Round 1

I know what you are thinking, it’s “banana!” Ok, maybe not, maybe it’s “nunchucks.” Either way, you can have an impact on what weapon is used in the next sequence. It’s a fun little idea that urges people to be vocal and have fun doing it. From a fight choreography perspective, I’m really impressed with how the whole fight flows. It appears to be all in one take, and the part where the fighter catches the knife was really awesome.

I’m guessing that most people will go for the banana in this fight, but I’m hoping future rounds will really be tough decisions. Make sure to visit the source video and let your voice be heard so that you can see the outcome in the next video!
