Production: Day 1 filming behind the scenes

                                                     Lavelle W and I were the 2 people who had to film in the gym today. I used my tripod since there was no cameraman and I forgot the one prop we were using, a snicker's bar, however thankfully we decided to cut the second half of the gym scene where the prop was used. Other than that it was a successful day with no big issues at Crunch Fitness where we filmed.

Production: Cast and Crew

                                          Lavelle W will play the lead role, Travis Johnson. Hugues P will play Travis' brother Joseph Johnson. Luca M will play the lead antagonist in Ben Douglas. Trent will play Terry in the hallway scene. And I'll play the trainer Mac Louis.

Production: Location, location, location

                                                  Since it's a boxing movie we will of course film at the gym. It is also a teen movie so half of it will be filmed on campus in a hallway and outside on benches. This is done to fit the style of a teen boxing movie.

Pre-Production: Storyboards

 These are the storyboards for the first draft by Myla M.

Pre-Production: Script

                     This is the script for Champion. This will be changed for the movie.
