Marvel’s Shang-Chi: The Legend of the Ten Rings
Role: Action Designer
I work with the stunt coordinator of a film to conceptualize action scenes during pre-production. My job begins with breaking down the script and then shooting the main happenings of the fight sequences under a fight coordinator. From there, I work in tandem with the stunt department to complete a story within a fight scene while using the language of choreography and stunts.
Tasks: Shooting, editing, making temporary VFX, and assisting choreography during pre-visualization.
