A STATE OF HEART - THE FIGHT SCENE.

July 25th 2012 saw the second day
of filming for "a state of heart".

The shoot was the fight scene
where Mac (played by Paul Stoddard - left)
confronts two thugs on his way to save
Louise (his wife, played by Charlotte Smith).

Paul (black belt) choreographed the fight scene
along with Nat (black belt) and Jordan who play
both thugs demanding that Mac give them his mobile phone.

Mac's patience is limited due to the stress of trying
to save his wife and so the two thugs get more
than they bargained for.

The fight scene took around 2 hours to film and lasts about 60 seconds in the final film.
