The main responsibility of a stuntman is to assist directors in creating action sequences for their movies. They assist in choreographing what will happen during particular scenes, including how the actors will act around and interact with each other. According to the author of “Action Actors: The Tactical Performing Artist,” it’s typically a backpack containing the essentials needed for stunt work, such as jerk vests, protective fire layers, bite guards, elbow pads, knee pads, first aid, and painkillers.
1. Drop Bags
To test a drop, swing, or ratchet before putting a person on it, do the following.
