RUSH - ACTION SHORT - GH5s *Award Winning*

Award winning short film

Adam Brashaw Breakout Action star 2019 Nominee

A cop gets kidnapped by a group of cold blooded murderers

About the film -

Rush is a fast paced high end production value action film on zero budget that takes you on a ride that you will not want to end. With a cool story, great action sequences and awesome VFX. Rush is 10mins of pure adrenaline fuelled action that doesn’t disappoint. Rush took 6 months to make due to the crew not being constantly available and post production taking time to finish.

There are 32 VFX shots ranging from rotoscoping background replacements, explosions, muzzle flashes, CGI bombs and bullets, sign and wheel replacements, super slow motion gun recoil and many more.

The music is dark, fast paced and edgy that was created for the film by the talented composer Xijin Chan which he creates a feeling of suspense from start to finish that ends with an amazing array of instruments for the final action scene.

Rush though hard to believe, was shot on a Panasonic GH5s that performed perfectly in any situation from tight spaces and in low light. The GH5s was able to shoot VLog which we could grade to get that beautiful cinematic look.
