Get Into Stunts: The Ultimate Directory and Guide Ebook

Get Into Stunts

So, you think you have what it takes to become a stunt performer in the film business? Maybe you've always wondered where a stuntman or stuntwoman may have received their stunt training. (Did they go to a stunt school, or is there such a thing?) Maybe you've just always been curious about a stunt career, in general. Well, maybe you do have what it takes, but it's not an easy task to becoming a stunt man or stunt woman - in fact, it's a lot of hard work. But, it's quite rewarding once you're in. Great paychecks, working with awesome people, and doing what you love and getting paid for it. (An established stunt performer makes in the six figure range on average - and some make this right away.) But you can't just pop into the stunt industry and say "Hi - I'm ready to be a stunt performer" and get a job. There are a lot of ins and outs and tricks of the trade, which can lead you to a successful career as a stunt performer.

One day, you're crashing a bike, the next day you're getting shot, the next day you're laying face-down dead in a river - all in a typical week as a stunt performer. Each day is a unique experience. Some days, you just sit on set all day, in case the actor might need you (for "safety" it's called in the stunt business) or the director needs you on "stand by", and you still get paid a large sum for the day, and you learn something new every time you're on set, too.

Another cool thing about being a stunt performer is that all your backyard fun, such as dirt bike riding, climbing, horse riding, trampoline lessons, martial arts classes, etc... now are considered stunt training, and all of your "training" is a tax write-off. BONUS. One day, you'll be taking flying lessons, the next day going to a race-school, the next - maybe getting your scuba ticket - all of it, a write-off, all of it important to your resume, and all of it - FUN.

Stunt performers often train together, too, so you develop quite a social group of good friends who really watch out for each other and back each other up. The stunt community is an awesome community to belong to, and there are some incredible "like-minded" people that you'll end up hanging out with and "playing" (ie: "training") with on the weekends.

To have the disposable income to be able to fly to Hawaii to surf, or zip to Thailand to go diving is probably the best part about being a stunt performer. You have the money to do things, at your own pace, when you want, how you want, and how much of it you want. When you're working and it's busy, you're having fun and earning A LOT of money, and when you're not working - you play, spend, and train.

Other options while you're a stunt performer include: becoming a Stunt Coordinator (after a few years experience as a performer, you start to get jobs helping arrange the action, and eventually coordinate the shows). Or you could become a 2nd Unit Director (coordinating all of the action on a separate unit). Or even a Director (running the whole show).

There are many exciting facts about being a stunt performer, but the most important fact is you don't want to look like an idiot when you're trying to get in. There are so many things you can do right, but there are so many things you can totally screw up, also. You want to do the right things when you're first starting out.
