An exercise in action choreography
An exercise in action choreography from Daniel Bachler on Vimeo.
The first attempt to do action choreography by Jan-Paul Gauly, Marius Wawer and myself.
Harald (the torturer) is an actor with martial arts training but no prior stunt experience and Alex (the victim) is a DoP who wanted to be the gaffer but kindly agreed to step in when we had trouble finding another actor on short notice.
The entire piece was choreographed and shot in 2 days. We learned a lot from this exercise and are currently planning the next one.

This film was shot in 2007 as part of my studies at the filmArche filmschool in Berlin.
