Ben: Could you fix the rest with photoshop, Andy?
Andy: I just need 5 minutes!
It's always the same, as soon as there are weapons on set, everybody is like: "(makes weird noises)"
But... I do it too. (laughs)
Andy: Do the rotor blades have to move in the final pic?
Ben: If it's supposed to be flying, you need to remove it somehow.
Andy: Yeah okay!
Ben: And make them blurry or something.
Ben: Hey Maja, could you stand over there and check my eyes?
Ben: Ey! Gun!
Andy: Stay like that, just like you were.
And look this way!
Andy: There! Yeah, right there! On the line! On the line!
Andy: Stay there!
Andy: Come over here. More. More. More.
Andy: Turn to me a little - yeah that's it!
Andy: One step forward! Yep!
Carl: And go, whenever you like!
Carl: Think about it: "Do I stand up after the curve? Do I stand up from the beginning?"
Just so he gets a feeling for it! Okay?
Just let the car roll slowly into the mat at first so he can figure out the right balance.
I don't want him to jump at first, I just want him to work out the right movement.
"How do I move safely, what's a good timing, how's the speed?"
And as soon as that's all clear, we do the first drive with an actual jump.
Carl: I personally would do the curve like this and as soon as the road is straight
again I would get rid of the straps, get up and push into the jump!
So that you don't you out of a squat but standing up!
That way, the worst case scenario is that you will just be catapulted from the car,
even if you don't catch the right moment to jump.
Carl: Okay, so everyone step away from the street, please!
Carl: And when you get the impact, you should jump into the boxes.
Carl: Cameras running and go driver!
Ben: Ugh, huge fountain straight in my face!
Maja: I'm so NERVOUS!
More nervous than Ben!
Crazy!
Carl: Cameras running? Ben, HOT!
Ben: Okay the stunt is done, everything worked out quite well.
After around two years of not doing any stunts, I was finally able to get into it again
and combine stunts and gaming in a promotion event for Just Cause 4.
It was a lot of fun, little things went wrong but if you don't know the original plan,
you won't realize that. Most important things:
Exploding cars,
stuntman is catapulted, everything's fine.
I'm still alive, that's always the best thing!
If you do a stunt and can say afterwards: "All good."
Hope you guys had fun and maybe another time... Just Cause 5, maybe?!
