We used a DVX100 camera. It was edited on Final Cut Pro HD.
Sharon’s BATGIRL costume was a replica of Alicia Silverstone’s outfit in “Batman & Robin”. Lillie’s
CATWOMAN costume consisted of a “biker momma” leather top and pants. We had the cat ears and tail
but nixed the idea as too cheesy. Cliff’s JOKER make-up was done by my childhood pal Rick Servande. We
had three prosthetics to choose from. I had purchased a full prosthetic mask from a company called Scream
Team but Cliff didn’t want to use it. He had purchased a prosthetic with the facial scarring similar to what
Heath Ledger had in the DARK KNIGHT. So we used that.
The first half of the film is a mixture of a script I had from Daniel J.W. Hughes and my own writing. The
second half of the story when the Joker stalks Batgirl is a loose interpretation of the “Killing Joke” comic. The
story is simple; Catwoman and the Joker come to kill Batgirl.
One of my primary goals in making this short was to gain experience on how to choreograph a fight.
Because of time constraints on my last feature (Crimson) I really wasn’t able to fully exploit fight scenes. As
some of you know, I was a boxer in the late 80s and recently had some very brief training in the art of
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I also watched some films with realistic fight scenes such as John Cusack’s “Gross Pointe
Blank.”
What I came up with was a hodgepodge of the mixed martial art moves and fight scenes from films. It was
fun to shoot and a good primer for my next feature which will have a lot of cat fights :)
