With a couple days off in a row lined up and a much needed break from writing the 'Fight Me' Script needed I contacted Steve and Ben and we came up with an idea to shoot Ambush 2, a sequel to this years earlier short film Ambush. Steve plays the same terrorist type figure (or is he?) and this time he is hunted down by a different spy.
Like all film making endeavours something bad always happens and we have to hurdle it, this time it was getting lost trying to find totara park, thanks to most of south auckland looking alike. anyway, a couple of hours later me and ben made it and met Steve and his friends at the park. It was a fun shoot, alot of it was improviosed, dialog, half of the choreography and shots. But the end result looks cool. The purpose of this was to build a body of recent work that I caqn use in my pitch for funding/sponsorship when I come to start 'Fight me' Later this year, just have to finish building this script!!!
It's amazing how hard it is to write words on blank pages sometime knowing that this will be the skeleton you build the muscle on later, one wrong move and the thing collapses and you have days of rewrites ahead. Ah, it breaks my heart, but I must fight on!!
Anyway, here is the little 'break' project AMBUSH 2 and a couple of random outtakes, hope you enjoy :)
