Скачать или смотреть Using the SET to Create Suspenseful Fight Choreography

This fight has some GREAT lessons on how you should & SHOULDN'T create suspense through choreography.
Kilnacca vs Torbin sets up an obvious character dynamic in this Acolyte fight scene. The wookie (Kilnacca) is super strong while the human (Torbin) isn't. SIMPLE. Right?

But then the fight choreography betrays that dynamic by having Torbin match physical strength with Kilnacca for no reason. It's like the director said, "I don't care what we just spent all day filming, I want THIS pose to happen in the fight scene."
So it happens.
The moment Torbin is in danger of being cut in half by Kilnacca's lightsaber, he's magically equally as strong as the wookie.
What sucks is that this spot in the choreography COULD have made sense AND added depth. The answer was staring them right in the face.
USE THE SET in your fight choreography!
Hell, this Star Wars lightsaber duel could have even added depth to Torbin's character, making him seem intelligent, but instead it took the lazy way out.

So let's do a fight choreography breakdown and analyze how a small tweak could have taken this Acolyte moment from nonsensical masterfully suspenseful.
