Cast 2 Crew Magazine

We're looking forward to the up and coming episodes from Science of Stunts. These episodes are super engaging, giving people a true insight to the world of stunts and how there's a whole lot more to think about before getting hit by a car, set on fire or taking a wild kick to the chest.

Casey Wright takes people on a journey through a break down of what truly lies behind a stunt and what the professionals need to know and think about in order to safely execute these stunts for film & TV. Stunt work has evolved over the last 30+ years. Stunt performers were mainly men, that came from backgrounds that generally were considered to be quite dangerous. Defence Force Ex Militants such as Commando's, Explosive Experts (Powder Monkeys), Cow Boys, Bull Riders and other daring professions.

The stunt industry has evolved over the years with more and more women and skilled sporting professionals starting out. These people are coming from Gymnastics, Martial Arts and Free Running. They have brought a new level of body control and have positively influenced the quality of action sequences for film and tv. However, whether they can take a bump like the last generation and the one before that is debatable.
