Getting Our Kicks With The Cannon 7D

Last Monday I helped my friend Ikuo and some of his buddies test out the LA Community College Cinema department's new Cannon 7D. We did this eskrima flow drill in the beginning and I was teaching an open hand exercise at the end. These were meant to test the shutter speed and the lenses. But it's the fight scene that I'm really proud of (it's at about 1:21). I can't believe how well it turned out! Especially considering we put the whole thing together in less than 5 hours. Yuta (the guy in red) had practically no martial arts experience at all but after we whipped him into shape and Ikuo edited the whole thing, he really looks like he can kick some butt!! I really think it's a quality scene that's probably better than a lot of the over the top shlock I've seen in many big budget movies and shows (especially some of the ones made in the U.S.). I'm thinking I should go into fight choreography. We've only posted it on facebook so far so you'll need a facebook page to view it:

It's telling me that I can't see the video because of privacy settings. Must be only viewable to your facebook friends.

Yep, it's on Facebook. After clicking on the link you'll have to sign in to your Facebook page. I tried uploading it onto my Youtube account but I need another copy of the raw video for that.

Yes, just like Bruce Lee, only he was so fast, that when filming fight scenes in "Return of the Dragon," he had to film in high speed/slow motion, in order to be able to see the moves at all. Even at that, if you watch that FLICK, the moves are still almost a blur!

I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area and I've lived here almost all of my life. I've been involved in the arts in one way or another since I was a child. My mother was a ballet teacher, so I grew up doing performing arts. After receiving a Bachelor or Arts Degree in Theatre Arts from San Francisco State University, I moved to L.A. for a while looking around for some work. After deciding I liked 'The Bay' so much better, I moved back to San Francisco with plans on working on my own films and screenplays. I'm somewhat of a martial arts, action movie junkie and I'd eventually like to showcase some of my own talents.

I've been practicing Bak Siu Lum (Northern Shaolin) kung fu for six years now and other martial arts (Karate, 7 Star Mantis, Tai Chi) for something like 15 years. My most recent sifu of note was Wong Jack Man. He is a grandmaster of the Northern Arts and he shares his lineage with the great Kuo Yu Chang (Gu Renzang). He had a controversial fight with Bruce Lee back in 1964 which turned out to be a draw. Despite some disagreement over the outcome, this battle has always been seen as the "big event" that prompted Lee to invent Jeet Kune Do and proclaim Wing Chun to be "insufficient". Wong Sifu is a kind and honorable man who retired from teaching in 2005. Since then, Sifu Rick Wing has been my main teacher.
