The Key to Making Great Action? Vertical Integration [Eric Jacobus]
Venue TBA
Stuntman, action director, and filmmaker Eric Jacobus (God of War, Mortal Kombat XI, Man Who Feels No Pain) takes you on a journey through his action creation process called Vertical Integration. In VI, all levels of production are aligned to deliver the perfect action experience. Using film history, anthropology, human ritual, and neuroscience, Jacobus helps you discover the magic behind the action so you can learn to see and innovate your action content.
San Francisco tour guide Lawrence Young gets in over his head when he picks up a foreign prince with a national scandal lurking in the shadows.
Contour (aka "The Agent") was filmed originally in 2004 on a shoestring budget. It was first released direct to consumer in a "black and blue" DVD edition with a runtime of 1 hr 40 mins with a matte box crop for optimal display on CRTs. It was later released by Indican as "Contour" with some color correction, then as "The Agent" with a significant number of edits.
This version is the original cut of the film, which is now uncropped. There is minimal color correction, and it's been uprezzed to 4K, with all the slomo fixed, by @WhirlwindAction.
Fun facts: production lasted nearly an entire year, with over 60 days alone dedicated to the final set piece; the budget for Contour was so low that most of us wore ski masks to play as random thugs in each other’s fight scenes; and everyone sustained at least one serious injury during production. In today's entertainment landscape, when high fidelity digital video and artificial intelligence make it difficult to know reality from fiction, Contour is a breath of fresh air. It's as real as they come.

Breakdown - Namco had looked at the success of Blade and decided Tekken 5 needed an "American Ninja". Raven's movelist ended up being a huge mishmash of acrobatics, trick kicks, and breakdancing moves. Raven also has teleports that are impossible in real life, so I kept them as real as possible with some very simple After Effects methods. Raven took a total of 6 days of shooting just to finish his movelist, by far one of the most difficult ones in the entire Tekken IRL roster.

Breakdown: Bayman is a Spetsnaz soldier who practices Sambo, which is a Russian martial art based in Judo. While Sambo strikes aren't flashy, the throws are fantastic. Most of Bayman's movelist is applicable in real-world situations.
