Action!

Here at Heavily Armed Productions, we love a good action scene.

Over the years, generally inbetween projects, we'll shoot a short improvised action sequence. They don't always get finished, and they usually don't make any sort of narrative sense... but we have a lot of fun with them anyway!

Below is a small collection of some of our Action! shorts.

Keep in mind that some of these are .... quite old. Otherwise, click play to see people shoot other people!

Bad Day

The Courier

The tale of an extraordinarily dedicated Courier, and the lengths he will go to make sure he delivers on time. Not even an armada of despondent robots will stop him.

Written/Directed by Simon Herden and Produced by Bettina Hamilton. Designed by Ari Gibson. Edited by Sean Lahiff. Sound by Colin Zammit.

The Courier was an independent short with a production budget of only $250 AUS which then took 1 1/2 years to complete with only one 3d artist and one compositor to finish the extensive visual fx work. Originally designed to function as a pilot, this script was the first of many for The Courier, in which he went on to battle Vampires, clandestine military organisations and Cthulu in comic book form.
