Between assembly and locking picture, we only had seven weeks, which is quite short, so there were some steps that we usually go through that we condensed a little bit. Normally we don't work on the weekends, but during those seven weeks we worked at least one day every weekend. I used the Avid . A chase scene involves minimal choreography. There are a bunch of shots, but they can be rearranged.
Fight scenes are much harder.
The fights are very carefully choreographed and tightly planned. Sometimes sections can be omitted, but everything is really planned to fit together a certain way. The problem with this film was that I didn't know what that way was. We had some communication problems, with the language barrier and the set being so many time zones away. I was getting the notes very late, and there wasn't much in the way of explaining the choreography to me.
