Are you asking about fight choreography?
Are you asking about stunt players?
Are you asking about camera set ups?
Are you asking about lighting?
Are you asking about camera moves?
Are you asking about what kind of film to use?

I'd be glad to help out, but could you give me a little to go on? I'd feel silly telling you really basic info if you have some experience and I'd feel silly giving you pro advice (like where to rent a bank of 12k's) if you are just starting.

What is your experience level?
What camera are you using?
How many stunt players?
How experienced in movie work are they?
How large an area are you lighting?

1. Its like my 3rd film, but ive never done fight scenes before
2. Im using 2 cannon Gl 2's( i love those babies)
3. In the scene there will be a fight between 3 people, person A fights person B, and then Person A fights person C. So person A fights two people at different times.
4. The lightings not to big, Maybe 60ft by 50 ft

Thanks for helping'

So one question that you DON'T have (that you said you DID have) is what kind of film to use...

The minim lighting I would suggest is one 5k (a 10k if you can get one) as high as you can get it - at least ten feet off the ground. Four 650's to light the background and 4 150's to create "pools" of light for the fighters to hit with key moments.

Carefully block the entire fight. Rehearse it more times than you think is needed and then rehearse it about 25 more times.

You already have experience so I'm not sure what advice you need regarding camera angles. Fight scenes aren't that different from standard coverage.

Shoot your master - move in and get medium shots, covering each blow so it looks like they connected - then pop in and cover close ups.

Put your camera on a jib to get a few high shots - do some dutch angles - pick moments that are important to your story and do a fast dolly in (never zoom - but I'm sure you know that) - truck along with the fighters - jump into the thick of the fight with hand held work.

I'm not sure how I can help you with fight choreography on a message board. What does your stunt coordinator say?

What do you need to know about stuntmen?
