oakenguyThe post: yay me, I choreographed a fight!
Caveat one: A jester with two rubber chickens vs. a jester with two vinyl turkeys is not most peoples' idea of a fight.
Caveat two: It's very short.
Caveat three: considering that I stole ideas from Aaron, Nate, Liz, Frank, Holly, the Matrix and Bugs Bunny's 'Rabbit of Seville', saying that *I* created the fight is wildly inaccurate.
Caveat four: It's not fully done. In fact, it has a ways to go. And yet, it's better than half-assed. I'd say it's gibbous-assed. (Not to be confused with gibbon-assed, which is something else altogether. More colorful, for one thing.)
Caveat five: I have to visit the magic shop and get some trick eggs. No trick eggs, major portion of fight gang aglee. So I might be counting my...um...I might be premature.
In other news, ever told someone something and watched them miss the point so completely that you worry they got another point miles away, some innocent point wandering around in New Hampshire minding its own business? And that now instead of getting the "you were rude" message, he's walking around thinking "Yes, I SHOULD invest in Ground Round! Oaken's so helpful!" *sigh*

Fight choreography for obvious reasons was half of everything we have to do in our show.

Date: 2004-02-16 07:08 am (UTC)Bro, if the scene involves two or more performers simulating trying to pound one another in some context (comic or not), and you set their movements so that they can be executed safely, confidently, safely, smoothly, safely, and convincingly (and safely), then it counts as you choreographing a fight. Jester fights definitely count; heck, my first attempts at choreography, lo these many years ago, were all jester fights. Of course, they were intended to be serious and dramatic, but that's part of the learning process...
And remember: it isn't theft, it's an homage...
