Watch Day Two Video of Capitol TV District Voices for ‘Mockingjay’

The impressive video from District Voices shows battle techniques used in order to defend their district.

Credit where it is due, Lionsgate have gone all out marketing THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY – PART I and we are loving every minute of it.

Fans have been spoilt with treats galore including trailers, posters, the viral spots featuring President Snow and the rebels of District 13 interrupting them have been a great way to immerse fans into the world of Panem.

Now they’re pushing the boat out even further as Lionsgate and Google have partnered up to create DISTRICT VOICES, a five episode series on YouTube that brings to life Panem, the fictional world of The Hunger Games, through videos featuring popular YouTube creators. Each episode of the series was created with a different creator, whose channel content aligns with a specific industry from one of the districts of Panem.

On Tuesday, October 21st – District 2: Shane Fazen, of the ‘fightTIPS’ YouTube channel, showcased the training and techniques required to be a Peacekeeper in Panem.

We are introduced to the Peacekeepers who work hard to enhance their fighting techniques, develop their strength and improve their stamina – and it all looks very authentic. We find out about they improve their physique for natural, physical performance. 

What is even more realistic is how the audience learns the techniques for the Peacekeepers personal combat capabilities that they use to keep their district safe.

Want to learn how to be defensive and throw an effective elbow strike? They have got it covered:

Want to see how to pull off a back kick? They show you that too…

 We see their expertise with a round the house kick. Not bad…

Maybe a shoulder flip could help out Katniss in time of need?

Katniss could knock someone off their feet – literally…

The response from the last two videos have been extremely positive and we are very impressed with how Lionsgate have come up with such original and engaging promotions for Mockingjay.  Keep them coming we say! But there is still more to come:
