Action!
March 2015
The Special Topics in Production course this year is focusing on action scenes. The LAS lobby became the site for a duel between a kickboxing soccer mom and a domestic terrorist. We put the actors through their paces and had a lot of fun shooting the fight scene -- which happened to fall on the International Day of Happiness!
