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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Stunt Kites? is a generic, umbrella term used to describe all two line controllable kites. "Trick Kites" are one variation of "Stunt Kites." Specifically, they are dual line high performance stunt kites capable of advanced maneuvers or tricks like fades, The Turtle, Mobius or the Full Monty, just to name a few.

Plenty... because it takes only one person to stay home and not drive their cars on one of our National Rally Dates. It only takes one person to tell one other person and so on, until YOU tell enough people to stay home on Sunday. It only takes one person to organize your Family, your Company, your Church or Complete Strangers to support this movement, and have everybody stay home on our National Rally Dates. And the beautiful thing about this protest..

In the words of Margaret Mead, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, dedicated people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Consider the fact that whatever ripples you create in your own life will grow and eventually become a wave of change affecting everyone around you and eventually all people on earth. This is often called the butterfly effect.

Refugees have fled their country and have crossed an international border recognized by the UN. Displaced people are often referred to as internally displaced persons (IDPs). IDPs have been forced to move to another location within their country of residence. "Refugee" and "IDP" are legal definitions defined by the United Nations. IERHB works with health issues related to both refugees and IDPs

Most studies say kids grow normally when they take normal amounts (400 to 800 mcg/day) of Beclomethasone (an inhaled steroid) but higher doses may cause some trouble. Long-term steroid tablet use shows the most risk for growth problems. Your doctor will keep track of how you're growing while you are on these medications, and may try to step-down this medicine when possible. On the other hand, having your asthma out of control itself can lead to growth problems.

Learn ON SET etiquette. Listen and learn from the seasoned professionals. Train to expand and further develop relevant skills. Be patient, be safe, and be focused.

Stunt Performers are hired by Stunt Coordinators based on their experience and their ability to double an actor.

The film industry is not crying out for new Stunt Performers. If you are very talented and everything goes your way you probably have a 5-10 year wait to make a living as a Stunt Performer.

There are no casting agencies that deal specificly with Stunt Performers. However, belonging to an Agent may help you get extra and acting work that will help you to become a Stunt Performer.

Theoretically, years ago. As for when we finally got out there in the thick of it with our burrito journal, New Year’s Day 2003. We took about an eight-month break in the middle of 2004, but a bunch of local taquerias got worried and starting sending out APBs on us, so we returned to the tortilla fold later that same year.
