Julen, I’ve been working on a high‑energy chase scene you’re filming, and I’m curious—how do you balance keeping the pacing tight with the need to stay precise? I want to make sure the athletes can follow the block without losing the adrenaline.
The trick is to map every beat first, then run it blindfolded in rehearsal until it feels inevitable, then bring the adrenaline back in the camera work. Precise blocking keeps the athletes safe, the tight tempo keeps the audience on the edge. Once the sequence is locked, you can let the actors breathe, but never let them forget the marks.
Nice approach, but don’t get stuck in the rehearsal loop. Once the blocking is locked, trust the crew to keep the tempo, then push the actors a little harder—no room for complacency. Keep that adrenaline coming, and make sure nobody’s slipping. That’s how you keep the audience glued.
Yeah, the crew’s got the rhythm, I’ll just make sure nobody steps on the wrong beat. If they get too comfortable, I’ll throw a curveball—keep the chase alive, keep the audience glued. Let's make sure the athletes stay sharp, and the adrenaline stays high.
Great, but keep the pressure on. Don’t let anyone think they’re safe just because the rhythm’s solid. Push them harder, keep the pace brutal, and make sure the adrenaline never drops. That’s how we win.
