Thanks everyone for the great responses!
I am the Director of Imagine and macmangan is my post house! I wanted a chance to reply to some of your comments.
The stunt men did the choreography. We didn’t have the luxury of time to really develop the stunts, but the guys we had are people I work with at Universal Studios at the Water World Show. The coordinator kind of had a rough idea for the fight with all the guys, but the guys involved did the sword fight and hero-villain fight. The ninja is a teacher of sword fighting and is also an actor. He designed the whole sequence. Our main hero learned the moves, like a day before we shot and the day of the shoot. The same went for the gun kata and epic brawl. Those two rehearsed the night before and then did it on the day of the shoot. The kids were terrific. They are actors who want experience. We had planned more kid stuff, but our main kid broke his leg playing soccer. So it totally killed any additional footage. In fact his brother had to stand in for him for the shots when he walks to his bike and when he rode it off the driveway. The shots when he puts all his gear on, he does so on an igloo cooler. I definitely will take the original score to heart. I had originally wanted an n original score, but we were under such a time crunch to make the deadline of our first festival. So I had to put it aside. I was planning to go back to that, but the score we picked worked so well and it fit the context of the kid’s imagination, I was like, maybe we can run with this. But alas, I may have to go back to that original hunch.
