Class #1 Introduction to Action
Our introductory course is structured as an overview of the more intense and advanced Action Boot Camp. This course is created to give students an opportunity to experience the world of stunts and military action first hand in a relaxed teaching environment.
Learn how stunts are rigged and accomplished and familiarize yourself with stunt props, stunt equipment and rigging. Instructors demonstrate 40ft high falls, stunt driving and even a real body burn so that students can learn first hand what to expect on a film or television set. Information on safety, and working with and around various FX including blood, squibs, spark hits, and other pyrotechnics are discussed and demonstrated.
In addition to lectures and hands on instruction, students will be given the opportunity to participate individually and in groups. Students will learn stunt skills such as basic car hits, fighting and tumbling and most exciting of all will get to take a high fall from a platform that is positioned from between 10 to 30 feet off the ground and into crash pads and a professional air bag!
Not just stunt training, this course provides a introduction to military & law enforcement action roles with instruction on proper weapon handling, basic tactical skills, working as a team and how to perform a tactical scenario accurately.
The course closes with information on working on set, set etiquette, set terminology, and advice on getting into the film & television industry.
This course is a pre-requisite to the Action Boot camp and should be considered an introductory overview. The class is suitable for beginners and those curious about the film & television industry. Men & Women ages 18 & Up are encouraged to attend.
