Stunt: Difference between revisions

A physical stunt is usually performed with help of mechanics. For example, if the plot requires the hero to jump to a high place, the film crew could put the actor in a special harness, and use aircraft [[high tension wire]] to pull him/her up. Piano wire is sometimes used to fly objects, but an actor is never suspended from it as it is brittle and can break under shock impacts. ''[[Hero (2002 film)|Hero]]'' (2003) and ''[[House of Flying Daggers]]'' (2004) are examples of [[wuxia]] films that use [[kung-fu]] and are heavily reliant on [[Wire fu|wire stunts]].<ref>{{cite news |date=2006-12-17 |first=Sheigh |last=Crabtree |title= High-wire act raises the bar in fight scenes |publisher= [[The Los Angeles Times]] |url= https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2006-dec-17-ca-goldenflower17-story.html |access-date=2020-05-04 }}</ref> [[The Matrix]] is an example of extensive wire and rigging work in Western cinema.<ref name="Vineyard">{{cite web |date=25 March 2019 |last=Vineyard |first=Jennifer |title=The Matrix's stunt coordinators and choreographers reveal how the iconic fight scenes were made |url=https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/the-matrixs-stunt-coordinators-and-choreographers-reveal-how-the-iconic-fight-scenes-were |website=SYFY WIRE }}</ref>
