  Troika - "The Interview" Fight Scene - Allen vs. Tony

  • 7 years ago
  • 7,835 views

  My first full fight scene performance I choreographed with Allen Larocque back in the summer of 2003, for the short film "Troika" directed by Kent Ong of The Project Crew and oX Pasture Martial Arts Team in Toronto.
  
  We filmed in the back alley of a friend's family laundromat on Danforth Ave. on a fairly hot day during the annual Greektown festival. I wasn't originally suppose to be in this scene, I was only going to help with camera-work, choreography and some stunt work for this film but I believe it was Kent's cousin who was suppose to play this character but he never showed up for the first few days of filming; so Kent just gave me a script and had me do it. Allen and I met spent about 20 minutes making up some of the choreography a few days before then made the rest on the spot while filming.
  
  I don't really want to bother with explaining the details of the scene, you can just watch and enjoy me kicking ass! :p
  
  
  Performers: Allen Larocque vs. Tony Banh (me) with Daniel Bricker

  Game Depot Short Fight - Tony Banh vs. William Arndt

  • 7 years ago
  • 3,230 views

  Choreographed and filmed at the spur of the moment, we were doing a script reading at the 'Game Depot' (in downtown Preston, Cambridge, Ontario) where Tyler worked (the cameraman) with William (the white guy in the vid).
  
  We got bored after a while and didn't feel much like playing anymore video games so Will and I decided to practise some fight choreography, I then got Tyler to tape us, in which he did a great job following my direction ;)
  
  We couldn't finish the fight because I forgot to charge my extra battery on the camcorder...but it turned out okay even though both of us did not have the proper clothing to fight in (I was wearing somewhat baggy jeans that wouldn't allow me to kick much higher than my waist, and Will was wearing dressy clothes) and it was the first time Tyler ever picked up a camera.

  note, this is the first video I've made where I used a variety of transition effects just to try them out, generally I believe most transition effects (besides fades) are tacky and ugly :p
