Stunt double

Is Eminem Indeed a “Rap God”? Since being thrown into the spotlight Eminem has thrived producing countless top tracks and albums becoming a household name. In his Grammy award winning album The Marshall Mathers LP 2, Slim Shady enhances his old persona in the song “Rap God”. Starting his career off as a battle rapper shows in this song as it is bursting with quick witted rhymes but in they way he wove them together shows how he has evolved as a lyricist. Marshall will no doubt go down in…

I 've been here before, many times over. Dark and quiet but it feels warm. Like coming home from a long trip. The sense of familiarity washes over me. It 's always the same. Her voice cuts through the opaque abyss. I can never make out what she 's saying, but I know it 's her. The darkness dissipates, giving way to her smile. Dark brown eyes staring up at me. Curly black hair, unruly and yet, the twisted locks lay neatly just above her shoulders. Her lips trace a poignant question that I…

gaps. I especially love the foam pit. My favorite thing to do is drop in on the ten footer and then with all my speed fly right off of my board and flip and turn. My main trick is I will leap off of my speeding board in mid air then I will do a 720 double front flip. I can do most obstacles like drop ins, gaps, grinds, and airs. I go to lessons every Sunday with Joe, my skateboard instructor, which I think of as an older friend. I don’t go to lessons because I’m bad but because I basically have…

Film in our world today is something we use to portray our imagination. We use films to put ourselves in dangerous and thrilling scenarios that we would never really want to be in. Why do people like to watch horror movies if they get scared? People like feeling like they are actually in the movie entering that dark, creepy room with the squeaky floorboards and the terrifying silhouettes. My major happens to be Film Making and Television Production and I chose this career because I enjoy the…

The world is not the same as it once was fifty years ago; in fact it’s not close to the same as it was even twenty years ago! Technology has grown to the extent that no matter where you go, you have it with you. Everyone has an extraordinary amount of information at their fingertips with smartphones, laptops and tablets at their disposal. This constant exposure to information and media all day long affects how the human brain functions. Whether it is a positive or negative change, we are yet to…

grenade at a helicopter and then jump off of the helicopter into the ocean. Within those thirty seconds, I counted at least 20 different edits after watching the scene multiple times. That scene needed many different shots, large amounts of editing, stunt doubles, and effects added in during post production. Despite the large amount of work involved in creating the scene, the finished product is fluid. When Rear Window was made, the kind of technology that 22 Jump Street utilized was not…

In this atmosphere of heavy moralizing, whether political or personal, can a young person find true, meaningful, relevant articulation of personal relationships and its intimate journey in the world. The film does more than raise questions about the police censorship and attack on the freedom of choice of young individuals in love, whose actions do not breach public decency in any way. Morality TV is also a powerful indictment on the media’s approach to news bytes that are more titillating and…

Cheerleading is among one of the fastest growing women’s sports according to the New York Times post, yet more than half of the American population doesn’t believe that it should be considered a sport. College cheerleading should be considered a Title IX sport because of how many injuries it has caused many young women. Title IX is no person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any…

I had to wear two huge braces on both my ankles or I couldn’t cheer. My weariness also extended to my head because the previous January I had received a minor concussion while practicing with my winter all star team when they had dropped me from a stunt I had been flying…

car driver Frank Capua. So Newman could portray Capua character well, he had to go to school at Bob Bondurant racing school to learn how to maneuver the car like a professional. Many of the treacherous scenes in the movie were done without a stunt double. For Newman race car driving became a dangerous second career. In 1972, Newman’s race car was a expensive Lotus Elan which he won his first Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) race. Newman experimented in using higher performance engines that…
