Chapter 305 - Autumn 6

< Autumn (6) >

Hollywood stunt coordinator Ethan Smith. The things he does when making movies are endless. Planning, editing, and development of action story lines, creation of martial arts movement lines, design, doubles, counters, background contact, training, practice, etc.

There was no end to the simple list.

Before the script is published, not only do they consult with him regarding the action scenes, but the director and actors also have in-depth discussions with the stunt team. The art team and special effects team also work closely with the stunt team.

In other words, all actions included in the movie could be seen as having passed through his hands.

Ethan, who was in Hollywood, is usually involved in a movie from start to finish, but he was also in charge of producing short-form action scenes like this in 'Beneficial Evil'. Whether in Hollywood or Asia, the timing has to be right. Of course, there is also the matter of looking at the scale of the work. Looking at it comprehensively, it was natural that he was a freelancer. Ethan's team is not the only famous stunt team in Hollywood.

In any case, his experience in Hollywood was considerable.

The same goes for networking.

In his opinion, the martial arts storyboard related to 'CQC' sent by 'Beneficial Evil' was disappointing. Well, in fact, it was true that the storyboard wasn't very good in his eyes. Ultimately, a storyboard is based on a script or scenario, and it is usually created by a director or writer. The question that Ethan, an expert, would be satisfied with was whether there would be one story out of a hundred.

The same goes for 'beneficial evil'.

It wasn't enough. It seemed like the author had done detailed research. However, due to lack of practical experience, there were many flaws. It was Ethan Smith's job to refine it, but it was impossible to do it as freely as he wanted. It was all about getting the best out of it according to the situation and reality.

For example, production costs or actors.

Even if you think about a brilliant directing, if you don't have enough money, you can't film it in the first place, and even if you create a flashy and stylish technique, if the actors can't pull it off, it's a disaster. Usually, a lot of time is wasted training actors on their skills. Therefore, even though Ethan felt disappointed with the storyboard of 'Beneficial Evil', he had to compromise.

Rather than upgrading, the utmost important priority is to raise the actors to a level that can handle this storyboard.

But when he came to Korea, there was a big twist hidden there.

The 'CQC' storyboard provided by 'Beneficial Evil' is not long. According to the script, these were to be inserted into episodes 1 and 2, and more than 80% of them will be filmed in overseas locations.

In terms of quality, it was better than it's quantity.

It feels like a short, sharp hit and run. Ethan with a big nose shakes that storyboard.

"When I first received this storyboard, I thought it was disappointing overall. It would be accurate to say that I was bored. We can modify the action design, but it is meaningless if the main character is unfamiliar with 'CQC.'"

The bear-like man on the team sympathized.

"Even if the storyboard was developed, it wouldn't be able to be digested by the main character who has just entered basic training. He has to spend a lot of time just training."

"That's right. But yesterday's Kang Woo-jin was good at 'CQC.'"

"The basic martial arts were also above standard."
