Adaptation assignment, part three
We got incredibly lucky and met a stage combat instructor willing to help us out with the fight sequence. He’s been of great help, because although we had a rough idea what the character should be doing thanks to the description in the book, it is not very detailed and for every action bit like “brought him down”, we needed to imagine how exactly would the character do that, so it would look believable and wouldn’t interrupt the flow of the fight. Our actors were very eager to work and seemed to enjoy the rehearsal and our instructor was bursting with energy and new ideas. I’d rather not even try to imagine how bad the scene would turn out without his help.
Here is a clip from the rehearsal
