So here are shots from the first day of shoot. I shall elaborate on the things that I had to do pic by pic :D Videos won't be available for upload on youtube, at least until the movie has come out. Which is probably in about a year's time. So don't count on it.
So here's a brief rundown on things. Location was on top of the 23rd floor rooftop of some apartment complex. From what I heard, it used to be some kind of brothel. So anyway, the scenes involved 4 corrupt cops chasing this other low life thug (who happens to be very good at free-running thanks to me lol) on what's supposed to be like urban rooftops.
So there were a lot of drops. Major drops, some with mattresses some without. The ones that I had to do with mattresses are for drops over 2 storeys high!! Damn scary weyh! Ok so let's move on with the Pics.

This stairwell, it's about 2 times bigger than the one in TTC. And it involves me having a fight sequence right before the staircase with the 4 cops and ends with me doing and aerial down half the flight of stairs. Mattress was provided and I managed to get it right after like the 7th or 8th take.

This is another angle. A very crappy angle lol.

Next off. here's a view from the roof to the balcony directly below it.
What did I have to do? What else, a drop lah. so cool.

Here's the runup. As u can see, it's pretty fucking scary. All you see in front of you are buildings :O

Here's the view from downstairs. The black thing is actually like those rubber yoga mats that they use. Doesn't do much for cushioning but, good for grip :D

And here's another view. As you can see, it's a pretty decent drop height.

And here's a view from the inside.

This was where the 2 cameras were placed. I kinda cut off the right side of the bulding cuz it was 3 consecutive drops in sequence in 1 take. So it was basically a 2 storey drop from the far right side onto some mattresses, (couldn't screw it up cuz if i fall to the left it's bye bye. no rails or rope to protect me from falling off the ledge.)
I couldn't do a roll cuz the director said they couldn't see me when I did it the first time. I was like, okay.

So drop, land and this is from the opposite angle, i jumped off the top off the building and my landing spot was the height of the wall down there.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAqIFjjYP85tTa5sP8MPNLNYEzVTT2MnLx8EarAqnlDmEv0dqhNueztr9APtmOpS99S-USHL9RhG7HfEr6I42-FPdw8e4Rt7E57MFtXJAHnX2c1CNKLqO5bjft_FJw-QpMfLTM2woGzqM/s400/_DSC0651.JPG)
After I landed, continued my run for another drop from the far right to the rooftop. no rolls here either, and continue all the way to the vault on the balcony side and a drop roll, and immediately turn 180 degrees and run inside the building. All in one shot. AWESOME!!!
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidm1zniWP_B6D3PzoD4cOPMqrJ3iitV1-tE_WH9-tezyoDC6YjxoPP9Za9VHZ_aeMlBGRF8EQH0Rwl6Y-b7Y9E4I4LP-uhcmpbcFSbYiE3EeBK0I8EBgBzop7I1KuN0qsqzKQvPvlVVCc/s400/_DSC0642.JPG)
Now here's another drop. And this time it's a turn vault to cat from the top, land on the zink curvy roof and kinda had to do like a one hand tap on the roof and slide down for the drop thing. and yes, there were mattresses thank god. lol
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiB2GSKDNkJJMB0D17SS1s30vkF_GMfh8YaGBe-QZC9sjLHbU1uFYgwDFDLWgMBW6kr13EfQKeYaz4IORN1nhaHeu6_jPTX8ILRzV5kYicw28gJ4A4fp-Rh-iHapF4u-r1Vdimr82MjrU/s400/_DSC0646.JPG)
And here we have another angle. as you can see, there's a rooftop on the left side of the pic. now that's where i had to do a sideflip. lol. over-rotated everytime! and onto mattresses woohoo!! it was fun tho. couldn't see shit. lol
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBXANvuNJmS8lzB6oAUD56OFkHqmNH5tM0TPtQmPJw6kp1lOqNq-bw1QBIRQucWL7PNgqtQyVYo7W5bGOmJZjLCe3WPA9soXn1VGi1n5KUgmD9CmNCWhNpIUnboE3gnp3uNLGOQR465p0/s400/_DSC0640.JPG)
Now this one was scary. I had a guidewire, and the gap was only about 10 steps from a running start. but still. it was the fucking 23rd floor!! if i fell, even with the guidewire i'd be smashing onto the walls below.

And here's the angle that they took the shot from. :D
So that's all I have for now. I gotta say, I risked my life quite a few times for this job. But it was all fucking worth it!! What an experience!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D More updates as I get them later. Till then. laters!!
