Action/Fight Capture - Inspiration

We have another opportunity to capture some new footage, but this time it is unrelated to the short film we're creating. We've decided to do an action/fight scene, which will be our first attempt at capturing two actors in the capture space. With the size of the space our best option is to stay away from anything too dramatic and stick to some close combat fights. With this we could create a more dramatic scene in MotionBuilder using cameras lights and editing. Here are some inspirational/example scenes that we have decided on and passed onto the actors to give them an idea of what we're after.


The beginning of Casino Royale has a pretty cool chase scene but from about 2:48 there is a fight on a crane arm and because of the location the actors are required to fight in a confined space which I thought kind of represented the capture space minus the actual crane. This type of combat could be interesting.


The Bourne films have quite a lot of really cool close combat scenes. This scene is in a simple environment with some props (a knife, newspaper & cable) as weapons which could be a good opportunity to get some constraints to the hands inside MoBu. There is also some grappling and wrestling which would require a bit of clean up to make sure body parts aren't passing through each other.


In this Special ID scene there is good action in another simple setting and close space which is ideal for what we're looking for. Besides the car there are no other props. The action has more kicks and back and forth fighting in a short time.
