Stunt

First time flyer I always wanted to be a cheerleader. I loved watching older cheerleaders do stunts, gymnastics and I also liked watching them support their team. At my elementary school, no one was allowed to play sports till you were in third grade. So after waiting five years, I finally got to try out for the cheerleading team. I expected I would be nervous and scared when I got to tryouts. That 's the complete opposite of how I felt. I was so excited to show everyone all the jumps I could do and how great my cartwheel was! The coaches taught us three different cheers that we had to try out with. I learned those much easier than some of the other girls did. After spending two days learning the cheers, it was finally time to show the judges what I had learned. When I stood in front of them as they told me which cheer to do, I just kept thinking to myself, "Remember to smile, make eye contact, and if I mess up just keep going." And that 's exactly what I did. Throughout the whole cheer I kept a big smile on my face, I made sure to look at…

Fast and Furious 7 VS Mission Impossible - Rouge Nation While it’s been three months since the release of Fast and Furious 7, action thriller fans were excited for the opening of Mission Impossible - Rouge Nation this weekend. There’s no doubt that both franchises have different plots, but other similarities between the two movies are very obvious. The fight scenes action and weapons, the fast cars chasing and crashing with other cars, advanced technology, and the stunts are the most…

My Junior year of high school, two best friends on my cheerleading team had a falling out and the events between them greatly affected their ability to work together. We were all members of the same stunt group along with another girl who was unaware of the problem. In practice, none of our stunts were working very well because both girls were putting less energy into the lifting me so the other would have to put more into it. I was not aware that they had a falling out, but after being dropped…

Though many pieces of art are beautiful, it is not limited to only this. Art can be horrific, lovely, terrifying, it can be anything someone perceives it as. In The Stunt Pilot, Annie Dillard forms a one-sided bond between a pilot and a member of the audience, through the captivation of her emotions. As the woman watches the plane pirouette towards the ground, she recognizes the pilot’s style as something more than simply flying a plane. She notes that “like any fine artist, he controlled the…

brought Grant Hulley on to stunt coordinate Chappie. Set in South Africa, the film takes place in the future where crime is patrolled by an oppressive mechanized police force. Chappie, a robot, gets stolen and reprogrammed. The result is a robot who can think and feel for himself. You have now worked with Director Neill Blomkamp twice. What is it like working with him? Does he have any specific directing/work style that you are drawn to? Yes that is correct, District 9 and now Chappie. Neill…

And we've done the same thing in the stunt business. Some of the biggest car crashes that we've set up--Jen{nifer Caputo}, my wife, has been the one crashing the car. When I came into the movie business, I would constantly see this old, macho generation that if there was a woman in a car chase doubling an actress, when it came to the big, heavy crash, they would want to take the woman out and put a guy there. In reality, not only is it wrong morally, I feel, but it's also wrong from a safety and…

Would you want to attend a school that teaches you how to do death-defying stunts? This school is not for everybody, definitely not for me. Lots of people are scared of stunts and jumping off of high places, including me. I’m scared of roller coasters, I would definitely not want to jump off of something high or be set on fire. This school does lots of scary stunts, im pretty sure it is in a safe manner, but i’ll pass, imagine something going wrong, that would be so dangerous, because everyone…

There Brianna is up in the air, it’s all up to my stunt group to keep her up, she could fall or get hurt so it’s up to us to keep her up and make sure it looks good.
