Shoot shoot shoot

I didn't know where to start..I've got more than a thousand pics I took while I was in China and stories seem endless and too long to tell in one entry.
So..to start.
Here's a collection of all the mobile pics I took ninja-style during filming of the docu-drama...mostly in Wudang but as well as Beijing and Wuhan.

We shot just about anywhere..in sun and rain, hot and cold, in high altitudes and low..out in the open air and in itsy bitsy bathroom spaces..We shot in places where prlly not one soul has been, such as a lonely cliff up in the Wudang mountains and places touched by millions such as the Beijing international airport and one of the 4 main BJ train stations..We shot in a Wuhan concert halls, Wudang/ BJ/ Wuhan trains, "planes", temples, ...

In an Air China building with model airplanes where staff training takes place..


Wuhan concert hall


On a train from Wuhan to Beijing


The actors had to climb that small cliff-near Golden temple in Wudang


one of the final shots -at the Purple Temple in Wudang.


Lives are put in danger..at the Monkey valley in Wudang ..This location is a very popular place for shooting kung fu movies because it embodies aspects of ancient times in China. This was also the same place where "Karate Kid" shot several scenes from.
