This stunt took ONE take…

BTS vs Final Result   Behind the scenes of #TheHummingGrows with acclaimed stunt actress and star of the film @karate.jewels   With our stunt coordinator @theortizexperience , Jewelianna and Justin brought their expertise from Cobra Kai, Blue Beetle, Black Panther, Black Adam, and more to set and it paid off.   Pulling off an action film this short limits your resources. We had only one day of rehearsal a week before shooting to nail down the choreography.   We knew everyone was prepared day of. When it came time to shoot the scene, we quickly gathered together and slowly went over it one more time.   Once Jewelianna, Justin, and the director @aughbars were ready to go... Camera rolling, mark, and action!
