Currently seeking a stuntman for a short film. The stunt requires the individual to drop through a plastic skylight and land on a padded couch two metres below. The individual will be bound at the wrists and have a pillowcase over his head. Pay: $100. Waiver required to be signed. This is a non-union film. An army medic will be on site. Anyone mad enough to be interested, write to anupstartcrow@hotmail.com Cheers.

Also, it was not that long ago that I reviewed a professional show where my my main disappointment was the pathetic looking stage punches. No huge concerns about safety there, but again, they probably thought 'we can manage this on our own'...and it really detracted from my belief in the characters.
It might have only taken an afternoon for them to learn some good techniques from Andy - I remember that part of his course being extremely worthy...if a play calls for a swordfight I EXPECT to have to get extra training; when it's 'just' a stomach punch, you may THINK you know enough. But I was surprised how much effective information Andy could teach in a short time, and the results were far more realistic...and worth the investment.





....And I notice our esteemed webmaster has been browsing through and giving his opinion by rating these posts, all quite highly. This particular thread has produced some highly valuable and well-argued comments....great to see such an interesting, helpful discussion.


Cheers,
Craig
