A live action web-series set in an alternate-universe, contemporary England where every neighbourhood is a fiefdom and every wrong look can end in blood.

At first glance, the Birmingham in Streets of Myth looks a lot like ours. The buildings look about right. The clothes are the same. The kids listen to hip-hop and hard rock. Birmingham's neighbourhoods are roughly the same too: Aston, Digbeth, Nechells, The Jewellery Quarter & more.

But instead of a city, they are a loose collection of gangs and petty rivalries, tied together and policed by the weakened and corrupt forces of The Crown. These gangs aren't quite like our gangs though. They don't have guns.

They have swords, spears and the ancient martial traditions of the Far East. Each neighbourhood has their own power structure, their own laws and their own fighting style.

The Streets of Myth are a place that lies at the intersection of DJ's and dim-maks, kings and graffiti, B-boys and bloodied swords.

Rough cut of the fight is done (and I have proof)!

The timeline at the bottom of the photo is a rough cut of the fight scene done and done. I'd say the cut is closing in on "fine" (that's better than rough, but not finished).

There are multiple good takes of every section, so I have plenty of options. I think I've probably cut some bits too quickly. So I'll be looking at letting some shots just play out to show off the awesomeness that is Zara vs. Beau.

But before I do that, I'll move on to cutting the other scenes...
