Summer 2013

Alright, so I know that I haven't blogged in a while.  I've let you guys down, both of you, the two of you who actually follow this blog.

Honestly, even though I haven't posted much, it's because I've been doing SOOO much!  The problem is that most of it I haven't been allowed to film.  See, this summer I've accomplished so many life dreams.  I got skydive certified.  Almost half the planes I've taken off in, I haven't come down with.  Buuttttt..... I can't film any jumps yet because I don't have enough logged (you need 200 before you can jump with a camera).  I've been working on set almost most days, which is a dream come true.  Doing stunts for a living has always been the goal.  But again, I need to sign non-disclosures promising I won't film anything I'm not involved in, or post any behind the scenes footage to social media.

So I promise, I'm not lazy.  I just don't want to get sued.

Still, it's been a good summer.  Here are some of the things I was allowed to film.

Memories of Summer

Braxton Kills Rob??

Wait a minute! Did I just win a fight?

Victory?

Summer Schtuff

We went to my buddy Kyle Hatch's house to kick off summer.  We did some stuff there.  Kyle filmed that stuff we did.  He made a video about it.  This is that video...

Chris Kills Braxton

With an appreciation for Jackie Chan that borders obsession, all of my fight scenes have been HIGHLY influenced by him and that aesthetic.  We choreograph for very precise, pretty, flashy moves and love every second of it.  Getting a fight like that down on film is the best feeling in the world.  But alas... not every movie requires the super flashy martial arts choreography.  So it's branchin' out time.  Watch us branch.

Call it "gritty".  Call it "real", "raw", or "brutal".  I don't know what it is, but it's definitely different from our other schtuff!

Hangin Out With Rob

I love my friends!  We do fun things together.  This is a video of us just jammin' on a Saturday morning.

Corbett Kills Braxton

Okay, so this one is actually an homage to ourselves.  It sounds narcissistic, but it's not.  You see it was in this very spot almost one decade ago that we filmed our first ever fight scene.  It was awful.  It was ugly.  It was unoriginal. But it was the catalyst that started off our careers.  So we revisited it to see what we could do there, 8 years later.  We started the fight the same way, with no story.  We ended the fight the same way, thrown into the tree.  But MAN ALIVE it's crazy what you can accomplish in 8 years.

Braxton and Corbett Fight!

Hare Krishna

I've been sitting on this footage forever so I figured it was about time I sat down and threw something together.

Ben Kills Braxton

Braxton here.  I'm typing this from my hospital bed after sustaining quite a savage little beating at the hands of my good friend Ben.  See, Ben and I had a small disagreement about which Korean pop star is hottest and, well, things escalated rather quickly.  Good thing camera crews were standing by to capture the whole thing.

香港 and 台灣

Sooooooo...... made a visit to Hong Kong and Taiwan a couple months ago.  Grabbed LOADS of footage.  Here are some videos of the trip.

Some Gym Stuff

The Y2K13 has started. OMG LOL!!!!1!!  Big things are gonna happen.  But it's the little things that make the big things possible.

This is a video of the little things... in a gym... that are enabling me to make the bigger things real...

Was I cryptic enough?
