Stage Combat - Beat Up Your Best Friend!!!

Stage combat is not what i thought it would be. There is little actual violence involved, it's more about acting and it's very safe. Our tutor was very experienced in stage combat and he made each hit look so lethal but the victim was fine, not a mark was left on them. But with violence, accidents do happen and i actually kicked my friend in the ribs.

Earlier in the week i was doing animation and in 6 hours we made a 3 minute film which for the time we had was quite an achievement. We had no time for editing so it was a little jumpy in places but still was a short comedy piece.

BBC Blast has been an amazing experience and i would definetly do it again!!
