Earlier this week I had the privilege of shooting - capturing footage - at the Alliance of Women Directors Filming Fight Scenes: Gun, Swords, and Fists event. This was my first experience at an AWD event and it has left a very good impression with me.
“Alliance of Women Directors is the only organization solely dedicated to education, support and advocacy for women directors in the entertainment industry.”
It was not only an action packed evening but also a very informative evening with event attendees freely asking questions of the professional fight coordinators and stunt people. Time flew by as the discussion dove into on-set weapon, crew, and performer safety and proceeded into communication and camera angles for capturing the action.
I loved being able to see the live action simultaneously on the stage and on the big screen. Everyone had a great view.
Women and men, AWD members and non-members were in attendance. The attendees weren’t just directors. They were producers, editors, camera operators, etc. Besides the amount of awesome information being shared throughout the evening the atmosphere at this event was very welcoming and supportive.
The Alliance of Women Directors announced a November 22nd event addressing the last 45 minutes before shooting on a television show. Please check out their website http://allianceofwomendirectors.org/ for more information.
