Primarily the director and first A. D. (assistant director). It is our job to get what the director wants to see on film, in a safe and timely manner. We also interact with set dressers, costumers, lighting and camera people regarding the safe positioning of the stunt action and potential safety concerns with crew, equipment, props, and costumes.

There is no legal requirement for a stunt person to have qualifications. Realistically, no reputable producer or director will hire untested, new stunt talent - so the best way to try and break into the business is to work your way up from the bottom. The major hurdle is getting a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) union card to be allowed to work on film/TV productions (except for non union ones which can be dodgy). Competition is fierce. The American Stunt Page has some information.

with the U.K. and New Zealand a stunt person has to gain a recognized qualification in several different fields e.g. driving, martial arts, sky-diving, etc. More specific information can be found at the Australian Stunt Page .

The New Zealand Stunt Guild is up and running. The Stunt Council considers applications for membership twice yearly in January and June. People interested in becoming probationary stunt people should send their CV with details of relevant skills and qualifications to: The Stunt Guild of New Zealand, PO Box 19036, Courtenay Place, Wellington. Do not send originals as material will not be returned.

The essentials are gymnastics (or trampoline or board high diving), and stage combat training - but the more you can do the better. These days a stunt person has to be as much of an all rounder as possible, with at least a couple of specialities. Get as many licences as possible: car, motorbike, etc. Do advanced driving courses. Get a First Aid certificate. Learn to ride a horse, ski, etc.

No, you can only have one User/Coordinator ID since each ID is associated with a social security number and a valid PHA taxpayer/Organization identification number.

However, you must request access to the system and permission to submit information from each one of the PHA's "Coordinators.

Too many. As the envelope of the possible is pushed, as people get rushed because time is money, and sometimes just because the unexpected happens, stuntpeople get hurt. See Recommended Links for a few sites detailing accidents and deaths. My new News & Workshops section also often has articles about accidents.

To be honest, not good. I've heard that every year something like 10,000 people attempt to break into the Los Angeles stunt industry. Currently there are about 600 people in the Los Angeles stunt industry - between 10 and 20% are women. About 200 make a full time living from it; the rest have real jobs and supplement their incomes doing occasional stunts. These figures are only approximate but they give an idea of the odds stacked against anybody - no matter how skilled.

This is one question guaranteed to cause controversy. Although the distinction can often be blurred, daredevils are generally accepted as taking more risks and being involved in live shows. Thus, Evel Knievel = Daredevil, person doing a motorbike stunt for a movie or TV show = Stuntperson. In real life, the answer is not so simple. Also, a daredevil has to take every possible precaution and train hard or they'll die young. I also have the greatest respect for live show performers/daredevils.

We generally have 3 to 4 students in the boat at one time, but the number of students can range from 1 to 6 (except during our Kids Day Camps). Having 6 students in the boat usually means we are taking out a family, group of friends, or a corporate group that want to learn together. The number of students really depends on the group we are taking out.

Typically, a stunt person eventually becomes a stunt coordinator, then sometimes goes on to become a 2nd unit director. Second unit directors are in charge of a smaller film crew who shoot action scenes or general location shots.

Your club needs to assign a primary and at least one backup Club Coordinator. In case the primary Club Coordinator is unavailable, the backup can take over.

The Club Coordinators can change who is designated for the role after your club is accepted.

A15: Because social interaction between people usually happens so quickly and naturally, it is hard to teach these skills to children with social competence difficulties. Social Skill Builder software programs allow children to dissect social situations in a safe and controlled environment, with the opportunity to replay scenarios for greater understanding.

You cannot discard Ego Boost to get 2 cards when a Bulldog is played. The player who played the Bulldog can choose which card you must discard. If he chooses an Ego Boost, it triggers and then you get your 2 cards. If the player does not choose the Ego Boost, you can do nothing about it. You can use Ego Boost as one of the cards to discard if more than one has to be discarded and the 2 new cards won't be affected by the discarding effect.

Using a Rabid Wolverine will continue your turn but you cannot discard a card to keep the Series Of Suplexes going. The chain of effect is broken. No, because you broke the chain of effects by discarding a card to Rabid Wolverine. This can also be applied to Edge's Million Dollar Smile.
