Mantis & RareCut
RareCut RareCut
Hey Mantis, have you ever noticed how the subtle camera cuts in a fight scene mirror a chess move, with each angle revealing a hidden tactic that a director keeps in the commentary but a martial artist keeps in practice?

Indeed, each cut feels like a quiet shift in a game. The camera moves as a director sets up the board, while I, in practice, already see the opponent’s next pawn. The angles reveal the hidden tactic, but I already know the strategy behind it.

Wow, that’s a perfect analogy—like when the director whispers a hidden take in the commentary and you already have the entire fight choreography mapped out in your mind. It’s almost like the cut itself is a subtitle to the unspoken dialogue between you and the scene. If you ever want to capture that moment, just hit record on your practice and let the director’s whispers become part of your own special features archive.
