Becoming a Stunt Performer Frequently Asked Questions by Goals International
BECOMING A STUNT PERFORMER FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS:
What's the best way to start in stunts?
If you want to become a stuntman or stuntwoman,
one of the easiest and quickest ways to get going
is to become a background performer (an Extra),
and then you can see how a film set works, how
the actors do their thing, and especially how the
stuntmen and stuntwomen operate (if there is a
stunt being performed the day that you're working)
. Being an Extra will also enable you to see (
note: I didn't say meet) the stunt coordinator,
and get an idea how he/she does things. Every
stunt coordinator has their own unique way on set,
and it's good to get to know their way first,
before attempting to meet them.
When can I go from being an extra to being a
stunt performer?
When you have been training for a while (see
training question below), and you have been on
numerous film sets working as an Extra, and you
have introduced yourself politely (with headshot
and resume) to a few stunt coordinators, then you
will probably get upgraded to an SAE position (
Special Ability Extra) at some point. A stunt
coordinator will hire you for your unique skill (
unicycle riding, gymnastics, etc.) or sometimes
they need you just to ride by on a bicycle, which
isn't exactly a stunt, but it doesn't fall into
the general Extra category either. So you get a
day working as an SAE performer (it pays more
than being a general Extra, but most importantly,
it gets you working for the Stunt Coordinator for
the first time). After a few SAE days for this
Stunt Coordinator (ie: build up trust), they will
probably give you a shot at your first real stunt.
What kind of stunt training do I need to be a
stuntman / stuntwoman?
There are 4 skills that are considered essential
to begin your quest into the stunt industry: 1.
gymnastics (or trampoline or high diving) 2.
martial arts (or stage combat training) 3.
motorcycle riding / racing (and/or car racing)
4. people skills
Of course, the more skills you have in your
arsenal and in your resume, the better - such as
horses, rock climbing, scuba diving, white water,
parachuting, rollerblading, skiing, etc. Also,
get as many licenses as possible: street bike,
advanced driving courses, first aid tickets,
skydiving certificates, etc... And yes, it does
make an impact if you're already a champion at
some sport (show it off - it proves that you can
handle a high level of competition and are
competent under pressure! This is not necessary
to become a stunt performer, though.)
"I'm an awesome motorcycle stunter", or "I can do
car stunts", or "I won the World Championships in
my martial art", so shouldn't it be natural for
me to be a stunt performer?
No, you need to be an all-rounder to have a stunt
career. And it doesn't make a difference how
great you are at motorcycle stunts, or if you're
an Olympic gymnast or not - what matters is how
great your "total package" is, and how good you
are with people, too.
Are there stunt schools out there?
Yes, there are many. Some are stunt driving
schools, some are aerial stunt schools, and some
are just plain stunt training schools. Check into
this VERY carefully, as there are a lot of fly-by-
nights out there, too.
What kind of stunt equipment do I need?
At the very least, as a budding stunt person, you
should get some small elbow and knee pads (
usually you can find these at sports consignment
shops, in the youth section - don't forget to get
as small as possible, but still protective,
because you'll be fitting these under your
wardrobe on set, and you can't have them showing).
Also, for stunt padding, you should grab a set
of padded shorts (at bike shops or martial arts
stores), and a back protector (also at motorcycle
shops). Later on, you'll build up your stunt
equipment for different gags like gel for fire
stunts, and helmets for driving stunts, and
gymnastics mats and weapons, etc. But start with
the basics - you don't need to spend much to get
going in the stunt business.
Are stunt wages pretty good? Will I make a lot of
money?
Of course this depends on your commitment, your
location, and your years in the stunt business,
etc. but in general, yes - stunt pay is great.
An established stunt professional will make in
the six figures, and can sometimes make $10,000
per day even. But there are also a lot of
struggling stunt performers out there, who have
to hold down a "normal" job and do stunts on the
side, in order to supplement the dry times. Some
make huge money the first year they try, and
others try for decades just trying to make it.
Depends how much you want it.
Can I become a stunt coordinator right away?
No, not usually. Most stunt coordinators have
put in years as a stunt performer first, and have
garnered the respect and trust of their fellow
stunt community and the various stunt teams,
before they are given their first stunt
coordinating job. But it is a natural
progression to become a stunt coordinator after
being a stunt man or stunt woman for a while, if
one so chooses. Then you can go on to become a
2nd unit Director, as well (in charge of the
Stunt Coordinator and all the stunt action on a
separate unit).
It's all so overwhelming. Where do I really start?
Read every little bit of information out there on
the subject first. Become prepared first, don't
just leap in there. Don't bug the stuntmen or
stunt coordinators - they hear from newbies every
day about how great they are. Impress them by
going in with knowledge and background. Hope
some of this helps! Believe me - I've been there
- it's a daunting task trying to embark on a
stunt career choice, and every little bit of info
is great. Good luck - see ya' in the movies!
