HE IS NOW THE HIGHEST-PAID CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY EMPLOYEE OUT THERE AND HE MAKES MORE MONEY ON AN ANNUAL BASIS THAN ANY OF THE COLLEGE PRESIDENTS, SO HE MADE A BIG COMMITMENT.

THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS.

FIRST, HE HAS BEEN AN EXTRAORDINARILY POWERFUL WINNING PROGRAM AND TOOK THE AZTECS TO THE NCAA FINAL FOUR LAST SEASON.

OFTEN, EDITS ARE MADE IN ACTION SEQUENCES, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE YOU MEANT AT THE PUNCH OR THAT HE WOULD PERFORM THAT STUNT PROPERLY, SO HE HAD TO TO ANOTHER ANGLE.

WE MADE SURE THAT WE ARE QUITE DILIGENT AND CHOSE ANGLES THAT BEST REPRESENTED THE ACTION HAPPENING.

FOR GREIG FRASER, THAT BEGAN ON THE SITE WITH DECISIONS ABOUT THE VISUAL LOOK OF THE FILM.
