Just a simple thank you is an understatement for how grateful I was/am for the opportunity. It was my first experience being on a core team for prep and thankfully was brought back for this fun gag doubling @benvandermey .. 🫡

Thank you @thetraviswong @vladrimburg @jjlocoperry for the amazing opportunity on what I’ll remember for the rest of my career!🙏🏻

And a “HELL YEAH” to every other performer that was a part of this! 👊🏽 taken in Atlanta, Georgia by @austindurden_

Never even attempted a 360 dive roll flat, and the not so genius in me decided to make it a 540(ish) dive roll.😅 one of the practice attempts before the day.

Was a great time shooting this, thank you to all involved 🙏🏻 by @austindurden_

Knocking off a little rust. 🥊

Just a super quick practice to get moving again and have some fun.

Big thanks to @kiyaumau and @bryce_stunts for lending their time and talent. Always appreciate getting to create. 🤙 taken in APEX Studio by @austindurden_

After almost 3 years of putting this off, I can finally say this fight is finished.

What a learning process this was. There were definitely a few moments where I was thinking, *”I’m never doing lightsaber VFX again.”* 🤣😅

Huge thank you to @haydenlam, @eric_sun1, and everyone else who came out, endured the heat, and helped bring this to life. You all absolutely crushed it. 🙏🏻

Can’t wait to create another one with you all.

Recently I’ve been intimidated to post anything I’ve shot, too much in my head about what others think.. but F*** it lol I had a lot of fun with this.

Wanted to learn more about UE, so I decided to put a fun concept together to force myself to find a workflow between UE and live action.

Huge thank you to @kiyaumau & @patchensniff for taking y’all’s time to come shoot this with me in my garage for a few hours to help bring this to life🙏🏻. Y’all killed it. I had A LOT of learning experiences with this one and hoping to eventually get into some bigger concepts soon. Hope yall enjoy!

Happy Fathers Day to the best dad anyone could ask for!

A Man who stopped work to raise @kdurden0fficial_ and I after we moved to VA. Coached every after school program and taught us to have Integrity, to be humble, and most important to give everything to Jesus Christ✝️🙏🏻

Listening to the song that is playing (Jon Bellion- My Boy) I heard lyrics that hit me hard…

“ A present father is worth more than a perfect dad”

Because he was always there experiencing life with us.. I got to see what a loving, humble and strong father is🙏🏻🙏🏻 so I thank you

Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

Proverbs 23:24 “The father of a righteous child has great joy;
a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him.”

Damn this took me too long to type without my eyes watering hahaha🙏🏻✝️ by @austindurden_

First time trying out UE5 and made things a lot more complicated for myself lol but I had a lot of fun learning even though it was A LOT of learning haha

- The animation was done through an iPhone 📱 😳
- Also did a few thing in Blender and AE

Definitely have a lot to work on and sharpen but can’t wait to keep playing with it! by @austindurden_

“The Pride”

Huge “hell yeah” and shoutout to @caitlinhutson for being a badass director and @supahkyle for being a wizard behind camera!

Thank you for allowing me and trusting to play the hero 🙏🏻 was my first time being in that position and definitely a huge learning curve but y’all made it fun but pushed me to do more than I thought I could.

Thank you to everyone else for dancing with me and making me look good, to @tiffany.safronoff for rigging and @mikeima for helping out behind the scenes..

Hopefully there will be time eventually to finish the rest of the project. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Super thankful for all the talented and inspiring people around me, consistently pushing me and motivating me to be better.👊🏽👊🏽 taken in Los Angeles, California by @austindurden_

Took a break from everything training, stunts, editing/vfx related.. tbh lost the drive and motivation to even want to keep pushing if there was no end to the constant pushing and grinding for what?…. well I found ME again and why I keep pushing again.. so here’s a VFX test while I’m out of town. by @austindurden_
