Ever wondered who takes the leap off a building or crashes cars in movies while the stars take the credit? That’s the work of a stuntman. Special effects teams, directors, and cameramen all rely on the expertise of stuntmen to realize their creative ambitions.This collaboration creates the pulse-pounding moments that keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
In this episode Gino gets an insight into the world of these unsung heroes. We chat via Zoom to Katja Hopkins and Craig MacRae of Cape Town's Titan Stunts about their stunt careers and their launching of the very first SAFFA Stunt Awards, recognising, appreciating, and acknowledging the exceptional contribution stunt performers and co-ordinators bring to our screens.
and. . . Action!
