You know how you get to an audition for an action role and everything goes great... then the director says,
"okay, do you know how to do sword work?"
And you lie and say,
"Sure!"
Then they hand you a sword call out a bunch of numbers and you're supposed to wow them with a sword partner that you've never worked with before...and you have
no idea what you're doing? I've got good news (especially for those of you who want to do
more swordwork).
Alina Andrei and director Mark Edward Lewis (okay, me!) have been working on a sword instructional video series that teaches you how to do the Hollywood sword stuff that everyone wants to learn in auditions and on set.
You can see excerpts from the first DVD in the set on youtube here:

Thought some of you might be interested.
