FIGHT BOARDS




Fight boards can come pretty close to what makes it onscreen. The added benefit of being a comic book artist is that it meshes seamlessly with translating what I helped choreograph with Thomas Kier on William Friedkin's the HUNTED. During the Paramount (Kerry Conran) version of JOHN CARTER of MARS, it came in very handy because I'd choreographed long sword fights with characters that were totally computer generated. Above is a sampling of boards out of around 80 which were drawn for the HUNTED knife sequences.
