Over two days (and a lot of pre/post-production affected by COVID) I directed this short action film. Starring Jean-Paul Ly and Laurent Plancel, with an incredible crew, we made something that I'm quite proud of. So here is how we did it.

Chad Stahelski has quickly become one of the biggest names in action cinema, but he's actually been working behind the scenes of some of the most important action events of the last twenty years.

Post-Bayhem: Bad Boys For Life

Rossatron 2020-06-04 | I really liked Bad Boys For Life. More than I thought I would. It also felt like a reaction to the cinema of Michael Bay, as much as a sequel to one of his films. Here's why.

There are 24 officially released Eon-produced James Bond films, and here I attempt to rank all of them. You are probably going to disagree, and that's fine. I'm not saying these are the best objectively, this is the ranking I think of when I watch the films. I do wonder where No Time To Die will fall in this ranking of course.

The Lethal Weapons - (1987 - 1998 Film Franchise Review)

Rossatron 2020-02-04 | Lethal Weapon was once one of the most enduring action franchises in the world, but how does the series hold up today? Is it simply a case of diminishing returns, or is the whole film series from 1987 - 1998 worth watching? Let's find out. Also, sorry for the audio quality at times, my microphone seems to have a bit of an issue! Will be replacing for the next video.

The Future of Steven Seagal

Rossatron 2019-08-16 | This is sort of a follow-up to my previous video on Seagal: youtube.com/watch?v=SbioIx12k7s

My viewers voted for me to look in a tongue-in-cheek manner at one of Seagal's latest films, and chose The Perfect Weapon. However, the more I read about Seagal and his recent allegations, the less I felt being 'fun and silly' made sense. This is what I decided to do.

You may have seen Shogun Assassin, but have you seen the six-part original film series that film came from? Lone Wolf and Cub, based on the hugely popular manga of the same name, is a blood soaked adventure through the Edo period of Japan, following a father and his young son.

This video explores how the films use sound, namely silence, in a very un-Hollywood way, and how that affects the audience and how violence is portrayed.

Just a quick note on the quality of the ninja fight video clips. This is from a New York Times video that is surprisingly low quality, so sadly this is the best I had to work with. In general you will see a lot of repeating footage due to the lack of promo materials to work with.

I will be doing a more in-depth video on John Wick: Chapter 3 when it releases on blu-ray.

FOR THE LOVE OF GAMES - Epic Cinematic Video Game Montage

Rossatron 2019-03-07 | Check out my Raid-inspired new brutal action short film starring Jean-Paul Ly and Laurent Plancel: youtu.be/DhwZcHYSnf4

As a gamer, I have come to really love these CG trailers made by companies such as Blur Studios and Digic Pictures, that aim to give a sense of what the game would feel like to play. Often they are not representative of what is in a game, but instead what they do offer is the chance for some incredibly talented teams to create visual stories in amazing worlds.

Seen more as short films, they can be incredibly rich visual and audio experiences, that I wanted to celebrate with this video. I hope you enjoy it. It was also just really fun to edit.

Obviously there are going to be ones you like not represented here, and some that I use more than others. This is due to a mix of what worked in the edit, my personal preferences, and of course just not being able to fit everything into a relatively short time. Also, some trailers here will be for games you may consider ‘bad’, but their trailers are excellent. Finally, some are cinematics from the game, but released as trailers too, so they are included.

Let me know what I’ve missed, and who knows, maybe I will do another one.

The gib, to leave nothing but giblets behind, is possibly one of the most over the top on-screen deaths you can get. But is there more to it? Probably not, but I'm gonna over-analyse it anyway as this is a video essay. Enjoy!

Daredevil has some of the best long takes on screen, especially in the third season. What makes them work?

When exploring these sequences, I decided to try and edit as much of this video as possible in the same way as long takes. I only used slight dissolves here and there, but otherwise I haven't tampered with any of the footage.

My final Halloween video! The directors of the V/H/S 2 segment Save Haven, Gareth Evans and Timo Tjahjanto, have made two fantastic 2018 genre films. Here's how those, and action and horror in general, are perhaps more closely related than audiences realise.
