Hey guys! After a long summer where pretty much our entire team was busy with other projects, we're jumping back into production and it looks like our first scheduled shoot is going to be an effects/choreography test scene for a larger future project. We've done a lot of action and stories around action, but haven't done a ton of fist fights so we're working on that. In planning the shoot (four weeks out) we're toying around with the idea of throwing in some superpowers.
It's going to be a 1 vs 1 fight in a warehouse location that we'll have the entire day. Our actors/choreographers are also dancers. That may sound funny, but they're crazy in shape and can already do super-human stuff like one arm hand stands, no-arm head stands, standing flips etc. With that in mind, and since this is a test shoot, we'd like to throw a lot of sweet super powers in too to amp it up.
What we're thinking about already is some high-speed bullet dodging, teleportation, strength (smash a pillar or wall or something), maybe some sort of energy shield or something? It would be cool to think outside the box though. I know with over 100 years of comic book history and centuries more of super-human traits in fiction it's hard to come up with something brand-new, but what would be cool to be seen on-screen? If it has been done before of course that's fine, but who did it best?
Thanks in advance! Don't let budget stop the creativity here, we're pretty good at figuring out work arounds for most of this stuff haha.
