Hall Fight: A Short Action Scene

[@AntoineBandele]

This is the product of hard work and practice ya'll. Film Riot has come a long way.

[@TodessternNews]

great to see you here

[@BobIzam]

Wow, this is actually better than half the shaky mess you see in some films

[@da5idnz]

I agree. Part of the satisfaction the viewer gets from a fight scene is seeing how the fighters come out on top - how they block, punch, move etc. That's why people watch boxing matches. It's not goos if the camera jumps around or shakes and you can't see what is happening.

[@rezapratama8633]

IT IS! I don't get why Hollywood movies like to use shaky cam in fight scene. Maybe it's because the limitation of actor's fighting skill? So they can cover/minimalize their coreography handicap with that?

[@thetimelesschannel4810]

I agree with you all though I do like when shaky can is used in a running chase scene or a POV when someone is getting punched or is punching also it's great for impacts when someone gets slammed on something other than that I totally agree people definitely need to see the fight choreography I really feel like that's Hollywood cutting corners sometimes I believe they completely X Out fight choreographers and just do shaky-cam

[@Leprutz]

Shaky Cam is an art to use that almost noone uses correctly. This fight scene was nicely shot yes but in some parts I was still missing some wide angles and the hits weren't imapctful due to the choice of the camera position. But this is me being nitpicky and comparing it to asian productions. So disregarding my comment, this is really very good and Hollywood is a piece of crap in comparison to this.

[@Leprutz]

@@rezapratama8633 It is mostly limitation of actors fighting skills but also time schedule. It is easyier too shoot handheld and faster. But this doesn't excuse the fact that they also use it on highly skilled people like Iko Uwais in frickin mile twenty fucking two movie by peter berg. What a shame. That's what I call throwing money out of the window on skilled people and in the end they don't get recognition cause the action scene look fucking miserable.

[@WillMcDaniel]

I'd say she's the most badass yet! This is awesome, I like the way that the impact of the hits is shown, on screen, to make them feel like they actually connect. Instead of cutting just before the hit which seems to be so often the case in fight scenes.

[@ChristopherFraser2]

I absolutely loved Josh's character in this. The best part was him just dropping his baton and opening the door for the person escaping. Great job guys!

[@Levi_Allen]

Love the way this came together. The immersive perspective on that first brawl is my favorite.

[@filmriot]

Thanks man!

[@acebennett_]

You guys really need to make an action movie. Seriously, Ryan's writing for action is always on point. As well as their comedy, but I think their action stuff is always the strongest and the ones I'm most excited to see. This scene was just amazing. My favourite so far.

[@filmriot]

Thanks so much! Action is definitely one of my favorite things to shoot.

[@SiphepheloMlungwana]

hey guys, please make a tutorial on how to shoot a nice scene with one camera.

[@Azerrz]

Hell yeah! Badass!

[@thebrownboi5443]

nice to see you here man!

[@rift0tripper]

Go back to voicing my hopes and dreams!

[@ShredderGG]

HEY AZERRZ

[@thememe2928]

Love your videos

[@jojozeemartian]

Wow you watch them thats cool

[@Real_Boye]

Josh kicked ass in this!! His presence gave more life to this short ;D

[@TheMelonvilleFlyingCircus]

yeah. He was great! But he's great all the time...

[@Cenzo]

True :D

[@MiStABeNtLy64]

Truly an amazing actor. Bright future ahead of him

[@sdhpCH]

I always loved Josh acting. But the longer I watch the channel, the more I start to love how he does it. Great job as always, Triune...

[@VersusMC]

you've successfully nailed the mix of Film Riot charm and high octane action! I haven't watched the BTS yet, but I'm looking forward to it!

[@filmriot]

Thanks man! That's awesome.

[@TylerMowery]

Awesome scene. Working on a short film involving a fight now. Super helpful.

[@wafcon6349]

Lol Josh is like: I Didnt sign up for this shit!

[@DonovanPresents]

After she walks out of the door he opens, Josh says "Yep. I'm fired."

[@wafcon6349]

Donovan Simmons " I never liked this job anyway"

[@faiznnightblade1154]

LMAO ikr

[@EletOfficial]

You really need to make a full length feature film, seriously.

[@filmriot]

Thanks! That's a huge compliment. It's definitely something I am working toward.

[@aaronbalke3400]

I found it interesting, how through the first shot I was able to tell he was gonna be shying away from the fight, I'm not sure how you all achieved placing that much character into one shot but I could just tell that he would chicken out when she found him. Great job!

[@LostUtopiaFilms]

Sick job on those fight scenes guys. The music, acting, sound design, and editing came together really well. This didn't even feel like 3 minutes honestly, time just flew.

[@tracychretien]

3 minutes is not that long of a time lol

[@LostUtopiaFilms]

tracychretien Depends lol I've seen 2 minute shorts that feel like an eternity to get through

[@Rhiadoesstuff]

This was amazing, I love the fact that the camera angles allow the audience to follow the initial part of the fight from the protagonists POV, seeing the attackers when she did!

[@filmriot]

You completely nailed my intention. That was exactly what I was hoping you'd feel, so thanks for saying it!

[@Rhiadoesstuff]

+Film Riot ahh I'm so glad! I just watched the tutorial on the scene and I was extremely pleased when I found out that was your main intention! It definitely showed :)

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Best three and a half minutes of fighting I've seen in a long time. Great work.

[@TheAnimystro]

This was by far the best short up until now! Absolutely loved it! (btw speed ramping wasn't noticeable this time , so 10/10 for that!)

[@angryboi595]

This looks and is done so good, this fight scene is filmed and done so much better than most movies today, no annoying shaky cam as well!

[@redshirts4757]

You can tell that Ryan took notes from "Losses" because this is very reminiscent of it, but way better. Good job to everyone involved, another great, fun short film👍

[@MrCFriesen]

Man these are good! That was so easy to follow and the camera was completely its own character. I love that. Well done!

[@leandromarte8536]

Honestly, you guys keep getting better and better. This film would get any type of award because it is great. Respect !

[@JakeDiaz-]

This is totally awesome and very inspiring to make one of my own! Great job Ryan! Been watching your videos since 2011

[@cineblazer]

Why is josh legit Oscar worthy in like every performance

[@Ninis4u]

I like the little twists in the end of your short films... Like Ghost House... Or Chainsaw... It's the small unexpected things that make it...

[@truetube5190]

Film riot, the last two action scenes you made were fine. They got the point across and were entertaining. However, this action scene is amazing. It's not like anything Like you've done before. This gave me chills dude, like full on chills. Amazingly done film riot, and I really do hope to see more extraordinary work such as this in the future. 10/10 perfect scene.

[@filminquisition3902]

Fantastic fight sequence and the camera movements put as all in that hallway with Josh, bravo.

[@calebhaynes5920]

Just when I thought it couldn't get any more epic, you just blew the last two shorts out of the water! This was fantastic! Great job guys! Can't wait to see the next one!

[@geoff0707]

Ive watched your videos for YEARS NOW. And it bothers me that you guys don't get as much views as you deserve. I hope you guys continue cause I love the content you put out. It's entertaining and helps me become a better film maker myself. Keep it up!!

[@wycliffeonchiri5474]

The cinematography is superb. if you can replicate this, you have won half the battle.

[@mr_annihilator1939]

Honestly my friggen favourite one yet! That was crazy. You're an inspiring person Ryan.

[@ScottTheSlipper]

Expertly done guys and much better than most of the big budget fight scenes I've seen lately!

[@maxgitaarman]

So awesome how you pull me right in the story, when there is not a real story. You guys did a great job, again!

[@camtillett]

This was the first Film riot video I've every seen. Been watching ever since

[@bpd_productions]

Wow. You guys are really killing it. I've been watching your channel for a while, and these last few shorts have been top notch. This fight scene is better than some of the garbage I see on TV and in the theater. Great work!!!

[@filmriot]

Wow, that is an incredible compliment! Thanks so much man!

[@MrSequinn]

I agree

[@anamariaorozco9626]

I loved the part where you also recorded yourself (and team) filming. Everything on the scene happens so quickly that your verbal description description needed that as complement. You doing that makes it look so simple and easy to do even though so much happens at once. Thanks for all the info you share ☺

[@FinalGrade]

Josh was the best part. Forget about the normal action scene we see all the time. This video should be about how to do visual comedy! That part was gold.

[@gianc4rlo]

WTF!!!!!!!!! This almost made me cry. What a gorgeous clip, what a job! Congrats so much.

[@UGwindbolt19]

wowwww, this was amazing. I've always been an action fan. i got no camera experience but this got me pumped. i wanna learn. BTW, your action scenes are better a lot out there.

[@Guy25096]

This felt like the beginning of a cod game for some reason.

[@jacobrobertdesio9265]

Hands down one of the best fight sequences I've ever seen. Ever.

[@christianwilson5287]

Josh literally made this film! Without his character it would've been missing something special! So well done! Hahaha the suspense up to him dropping the baton and even just how he turned around all nervous and ashamed was perfectly donen

[@christianwilson5287]

Done!*

[@dmfighter]

It's the only character moment we get from this short. I'm glad for it. I'm still wondering why bald guard took his time before he approached and his his partner, accidentally. Every other mark was well-paced.

[@JeremySchoen]

the level of film riot production has gone up significantly lately! this is AWESOME!

[@ss-gc9qq]

pretty incredible. glad to see you guys having the opportunity to make such great stuff--still drinking out of the film riot mug erryday for like 4 years now. you've always been a cut above, but it's cool to see the progression nonetheless

[@TheDylanHoang]

this is my favorite fight yet! The choreography, comedic beats, execution and pacing just all worked perfectly

[@filmriot]

Thanks, Dylan!

[@LaneCarter]

Definitely my favorite one of this series so far. Great idea. Loved the various custodial items being thrown out of the room.

[@ceasersamv4587]

Things like this deserves way more views for the work this was put into 😩

[@Stellanorthmediaproductions]

This was AWESOME! Def my favorite so far. Good job Film Riot team!

[@PickleFlixTV]

such a awesome fight scene especially when random objects from the dark room starts flying into the hallways. so hilarious like WHAT'S going on in there?! haha you guys are straight up going places! and I don't just say that to anyone. great work

[@ChaoticMatters]

They got a helicopter! And Josh lol made for a dynamic fight scene

[@ALIEN-ot3fy]

OMG, that was SO COOL!!! great scene, great production...i simply loved. congradulation for the awesome job

[@Sketchyvisuals]

Reminds me of that scene from daredevil!!!!! awesome!

[@ollieboy117]

Oh my god, this was legit like some kind of freaking Daredevil worthy fight scene, good job.

[@timothyclark5900]

HILARIOUS! I always love your sense of humor in all your shorts! Very well done. Great acting by Josh.

[@wycliffeonchiri5474]

Everything about this says...talent. I always use this when I am choreographing fight scenes and how they will be filmed.

[@matthewlyons9095]

I am blown away every time I watch the ending of this film. THEY GOT A FREAKING CHOPPER

[@beaubramlettable]

Great stuff. LOL with Josh until the end. I thought for sure when I saw his demeanor and the janitorial gear, and build, that she would slip and fall in front of him. And be half-out, unable to get up but threatening him, and he'd build the courage and walk over and tap her on the head to knock her out. Then the superiors walkin and he gets the credit, or he morphed into unstoppably over-pulverizing her. The superiors walkin' and pull him off and he gets the credit as the crazy bad ass.

[@insanepicturemarkup7738]

This is like a mix of The Raid with a dose of visual comedy. good job!

[@isaactheanimator2214]

That part with Josh just watching the cleaning stuff get chucked out was hilarious.

[@haydensnyder]

Nicely done! One of the best film riot sketches I've seen in a while.

[@TheIoPC]

Josh was the best part. I actually did laugh out loud. :D Oh, yeah... The choreography was done better than many movies I've seen.

[@rockyk6805]

Wow, this was really well done! It reminds me a lot of the fight scenes in Daredevil (the Netflix tv show).

[@nickolasbelliveau7095]

Hey Ryan, I'm a longtime fan of Film Riot, and have learned the majority of what I know from you and your crews videos along with a lot from other KZbin channels. I just wanted to say that I really loved this film, you all did a really fantastic job (mega props to Trevor Addie as the SC), but I wanted to say that I really appreciated your work as an editor and director on this piece. In a lot of your short projects for Film Riot, I notice fast editing in your dialog scenes with cut-ins, but in this fight scene you really embraced your inner Jackie Chan and slowed down the assembly! Holding those shots like you did really emphasized all the hits, and I'm not sure it could've been done better! Keep up the Great Work - Nick

[@brandycox9351]

I love everything about this! Haha! Josh, the only employee not cut out for the job.

[@FreshSqueezedLightning]

Guys that was SO SICK!!! holy crap your best fight scene to date!!

[@jacobwilliamoliver8041]

Ryan, you have really up'd your game with this one. That was nuts... and bolts

[@IsmaHAWK]

Freaking AWESOME guys!!

[@Lemonsharky]

ANOTHER ACTION SHORT YEAH!

[@nothere853]

You guys never cease to amaze me. Great action, photography, lighting, sound, acting, editing, and so on. Thanks for sharing. Actually looks better than that new flick coming out - "Blade Ru..." something. (Big fan of the first one though). Too many movies solving all of the problems with a gun. That was three and a half minutes of my life well spent.

[@alazaet8897]

Love all the new shorts! Need more Josh though 😂

[@g.m.cuesta8784]

This is by far the best one yet.

[@Nah_brody]

1:46 That moment when you realize that you don't need your job

[@somerandomdogontheinternet1338]

This is genuinely impressive even after all these years! I particularly like how she kills the third cop!

[@tylersherrington3965]

Film Riot as come a long way since you started it. Would love to see Triune productions on the big screen one day!

[@FrancescoFerraris]

00:27 that camera angle tho Fantastic pacing, directing and editing!

[@ianchroniclesyt]

Better than the first two in my opinion. Kudos to everyone who've been part of this.

[@earlhuffington6162]

Awesome job. Great choreography and no hiding it with editing. Hollywood AAA movies could learn from this.

[@Sh3ikha]

That was neaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.

[@filmriot]

Thanks!

[@Sh3ikha]

Film Riot No my friends....thank youuuuuuuu!

[@Sh3ikha]

?

[@JasonAndersonChannel]

OMG. I watched Josh open the door like five times. Great action and great edit.

[@hiroxmedia9856]

Why this fight scene look better than anything I've seen on Iron Fist Netflix show??? Amazing work!

[@PetRatPro]

Oh man, I forgot how great this one is! Amazing job all around!

[@phillipayoung10]

An A+ in my book!! Straight up bad...!! Sequel please!!!

[@RenanMedeirosduble]

of the series "great fight i didn't seen" great work everyone!

[@MrReneKonig]

I just realized that is Bradley Freakin' Friesen with his helicopter! Awesome!

[@DancingDuckProductions]

Action month is a HUGE step up for film riot

[@VancouverMagic]

THAT was a KILLER fight scene!! and I loved the comedy piece as well.

[@basicbluetrash]

*Drops nightstick. Steps aside and opens door for her to avoid getting his ass kicked.* Classic Josh. xD

[@CyanSkies]

Just came across this via one of your other videos. So well done! This should have MORE views!

[@mikkvillem]

Hey, Ryan + Co, greetings from Estonia. This action series was such a good idea and you have pulled it off 100%. The scenes are adrenaline filled and the making of videos are damn inspiring. Now must put a crew together to try to replicate these:) PS. The camera vs. hand movement was a nice jaw drop moment of awesomeness.

[@slapout7]

Finally. A fight scene without a shaky cam.

[@matthewlyons9095]

The security guard bit is still funny and relatable 🤣

[@FanaticDrummer]

These shorts get better and better. A cool hall scene to watch is both versions of "Old Boy".

[@kike0wero]

I love you guys of Film Riot, greetings from Mexico!

[@bobtrees8843]

Wow, awesome job Ryan! Choreography and cinematography were amazing. The one thing I might suggest is to tone down the grunts just a little (quieter and less of them) but that's just a matter of preference. Keep up the great work!

[@jameslawyer1309]

i LOVE how this channel portrays strong women in these action scenes. Thee is something so refreshing about seeing a strong women kick ass. It's a shame that it's so uncommon to see

[@DigitalSwagg]

That was freakin' AWESOME!!!! Josh should've let out a sigh of relief and a huge FART!

[@gphiproductions]

Wow! That girl opened up a fresh can of whoop ass! Good action and funny! Thumbs up!

[@visiblyandaudibly]

Love the blocking here, some sweet movement with the camera. And Josh, you're just great.

[@master-jedizen-du4652]

That Stunt Man at the end pulled off a mean stunt back to the Wall.

[@burgers8]

This kind of reminds me of something you might see in Orphan Black. Just the protagonist, situation, and general aesthetic. Cool stuff!
