Naked movies is written tradition
It's like what has come before with the painters what has come before what styles have come before what?
Techniques have come before in this third one. We have a CGI sequence. It's been
Challenging because it's so outside of what we normally do in the width world. It's just been a different experience
we set such higher standards on the first two movies and you always have to kind of one-up with
Regard to put things on the edge of what's real and still make it cinematic
There are a lot of influences in the film and
One of the things that I saw I saw fishy called villainous and it turned out that shattered seen it
Villainous was a great great film great action movie great Asian cinema, and they had a great motorcycle sequence in it
And it's been the first film in a while where me and my stuff they were impressed ago. That was a really cool idea
We're like, well, we don't want to copy it. We don't just feel like you know what?
We're gonna copy it fine figure it out. They came together and they were like, hmm
The first time we had
an extremely limited budget most of what we did practical long takes is because we simply couldn't afford a second camera and at the time
They came from a very limited budget too. And they did something that was fresh. It was new
It was a new way
They kind of shoot this bike chase the first couple times we watched it me and my son - my VFX team
For the lifeless we couldn't figure out exactly how they did it
so in this obsessive way, we're like
Let's just try to figure it out just for our own sake we started trying to figure it out
And I know this is what they did. This is really interesting. It was like a puzzle. We tried to piece together
It wasn't as simple as we thought it was it was a lot of work and there's a lot of creative skill
This is tipping our hat to them. You know, it's like good job. Good fucking job
It's our first full CGI action sequence this is probably one of the most complicated visual effects sequences
I've been involved in purely from a choreography standpoint. It's so different than what we normally do
There's more of a partnership with stunts and visual effects and people know that way you can kind of do more low-budget stuff with using
Effects I have to use practical effects. So I think that's a important
Partnership in terms of action filmmaking though and you can kind of get these kind of amazing saachi's you can do practically
They designed this motorcycle sequence that involved
live-action and in the moment and then working in a
Computer-generated space when you do that to find make it look real. That's the challenge. Like, how do you get the vicissitude?
We shot the most light sequence on the Verrazano Bridge
It's this big
suspension bridge and it's multi levels and it was really great because you could see New York in the background and it really made for
a great
spectacular setting everything we did had to have a visceral reaction to
The audience when we saw that I thought is that the concept was awesome
Like one thing was kind of stationary and the other two are moving or two things were stationary and only one thing was moving
So we're like, well, we can one-up that we can make everything moving in the frame
so there's not really a key tonight's craziness is the
second half
Motorcycle shinobi fight. This has been something we've been working on for a
Couple months to try and get this thing, right?
The stunt team worked out the choreography first that was super important
You have to get the fight beats working and then everything else will come after that
Then you start working on cameras
and then of course you have to adjust the fight because you want to make sure the camera looks at the right thing at the
right time we did yet another test of that where we shot it on green-screen and we realized that
What the stunt team have been working on actually wasn't
100% the right size by about a couple of feet per Lane and over there just
Well a couple of feet per Lane is a big deal
We redid the whole thing
But that was two days of shooting that we spent doing just the layout
To make sure we can do it and from that we discovered there were certain things that were working really well
Certain things that actually didn't work quite well
but the good thing is it taught us timing and it taught us what the
Choreography really truly needed to be and so the stunt team did an incredible job of making sure that all that stuff really really worked
Once we had that then we were ready to actually do the a key
He came up with this concept of having motorcycles that were on these pivot
Because they wanted to have mobility and then they wanted to move them in this green room
So then there were people pushing them in green suits. Yeah
We just wanted to put some dudes in green suits really. It was pretty great. I just wanted to embarrass the stunt team
She sucks so then it became this dance
It's like dance choreography there's movements there's a there's a language of mean that we have to you know
You have to play to the choreography is so interlaced between the guys pushing the bikes
The actual fight choreography and the camera move. You're on a motorcycle you win machines?
but that could move we could literally have all the behaviors leaning and hitting each other and
choreography doing the kind of reality
virtual
reality dream
Clients, so it's motorcycles resorts
That's the health ski is extremely relentless
But that's how you get what you want in this business right that that's how you get John wick part one done
That's how you get part two done and part three to go bigger and crazier. You have to be relentless
you have to have the vision and he absolutely does this film is filled with logistical issues because of all the complicated work that goes
Into it, but ultimately he does have a vision for what he wants and you know
He works with everybody to make sure that that vision is achievable. I
love working with Chad and to be able to keep telling these stories is great and
for me to have the opportunity to
Continually tell the story
with Chad's vision and everyone involved is really exciting and thrilling and hopefully people will enjoy
I'd like to see the manager
