Dale Does BJJ
Every gym has a Dale. One week in, already asking about his black belt, and now he's offering out builders for a fiver.
Dale has done one week of jiu-jitsu and thinks he's ready for the streets. He bows badly, pulls guard on a Brazilian black belt and gets choked while telling everyone he's untouchable.
Then he takes it outside, offers a builder a fiver for a roll and ends up clinging to the man's legs in a puddle outside the chicken shop. Still undefeated, in his own head.
How it was made
No camera, no cast, no location.
- Every character was cast like a real actor. I generated candidates, picked one and locked them as a reference sheet of faces, profiles and expressions.
- The gym and the London backstreet each have a top-down map and plates from every angle, so the camera can move while the set stays exactly where it is.
- Dale's gi is a real Tatami Fightwear Pro Series, because BJJ people notice that stuff.
- Twelve clips were generated in Seedance 2.5 at native 1080p vertical, from 4 to 20 seconds each, then cut in Premiere Pro.
- The captions, the Preece TV bug, the episode slate and the end card were designed and burned in afterwards.
