Pre-Vision: Visualizing and Planning Action Sequences
At My Method Action Department, we specialize in providing pre-visualization and fight coordination services to support filmmakers and production teams in effectively planning their action sequences. Our services include:
- Fight Coordination: We build creative vision and character motivation to craft fight sequences that enhance story telling. With expertise in martial arts, choreography, and camera techniques, we ensure every punch, kick and stunt is flawlessly executed.
- Pre-Visualization for Action Films: We work closely with filmmakers to bring their action sequences to life before they are shot using detailed storyboards that showcase the flow, timing, and choreography of each action scene.
