Ever wonder how fight scenes are created for your favorite show? From Witcher to Wick... from pirates to vikings to space wizards with laser swords, the process can be a complicated one.  This session will cover the collaborative fight design process for featured “Hero” fights and mass battles for film/tv.  From the Writer to Director to Director of Photography, to Fight Coordinator/Choreographer to Stunt Performer to Editor, there are many influences that affect the final product we see on the big (and little) screen.  Learn what it takes to make compelling action that supports the narrative.  Behind the scenes footage, pre-visualizations, rehearsals and final products will be shown to help convey the process in building cinematic action.  Learn the differences between action design for film and live-theatre.  Come and ask your questions to industry professionals and catch a glimpse behind the curtain!
