Web site: www. girlfightmovie. com was proven false. The fight scenes often depicted girls tackling other girls and running into the cage. " As you ' ll see a mattress was used for the tackling scenes. The only real blood shed was from a surface scratch from an encounter with the cage or someone ' s braces hitting against their lip. I offered first aid and the actresses refused, like Leonardo Dicaprio did in his famous bleeding hand scene in Django: Unchained, citing that it would add to the look and feel of the fight."
" But a lot of us did get sick and dehydrated. That just comes with the territory. I was involved as an extra in a MTV series shot in Florida in August and all we did was walk back and forth for about 4 hours between standing and waiting for our que. I blacked out several times as I walked off the set, which is near the end of the Universal Studios theme park. All of us, including principal talent, were sweating and dragging our feet off the set due to the brutal heat during those four hours, which ran from 7am to 11am that day. And we even had water available to us. You couldn ' t stay hydrated in Florida unless you were born there it seemed."
Shaky Cam, Dark Shadows, Flawed Angles, Odd Editing, and Decomposed Shots
One of the critiques of GIRLFIGHT involved its use of the " shaky cam " trick, where some footage was shot without using a tripod.
" It was all done to add to the look and feel. The shaky cam allowed us to get that ' in the moment ' feel so fans could film the intensity and impact of each fight. There was footage where I did use a tripod. Understand this is a DSLR-made film where my lenses had a minimum focal length of 18mm and at most 200mm, mostly using 35-55mm focal length. So tripods don ' t actually make sense when you ' re right up on the girls and you ' re working in a confined 10 foot by 10 foot set. Some shots were outside of the cage and some were overhead to make things interesting. I wanted to stay away from the wide master shots where I ' m most comfortable with. A tripod often got in the way and had to be repositioned. We shot mainly starting at Noon and we noticed lighting changes
" I kept that on purpose but when I darkened the film by setting the opacity lower than 100 % for this footage and overlayered all of the footage yet again with a pure black screen with its own opacity settings, yea, it makes the shadows too dark. But snuff films aren ' t usually made with production values either, especially many of the fake ones seen in the Many Faces of Death series or the incidental police shootings that Fox News recently accidently aired to its world-wide audience, where they ' re just shot " on the fly ". I wanted people to realize Moonlight, although she ' s so cute, is also a complete killer psycho. I even had clean, well-lit footage of Rachel taunting a fallen Angel but chose the darker side to show just how sinister she was."
The critics took some jabs at the editing which he says the GIRLFIGHT: Behind the Scenes series will show there were good shots.
