Published on Aug 1, 2012

I served coffee and grilled cheese on film sets in Toronto for almost five years. Last summer I got one foot in the stunt door by working as a rigger on Total Recall. After meeting some amazing performers, I decided that I needed to up my game. A lot.

So!

Half a year of training-my-ass-off later, I was ready to begin. Rather than waiting to land enough professional gigs to fill my demo reel, I decided to be proactive. With the help of some great friends, I put this video together to showcase my new skills and hopefully entertain a few people.

    Did he really fall of a building onto the floor or did they put a mat down cause I think that was why there was a car there

    We had a giant pile of boxes hiding behind the car, then cleared them away so I could roll out in a different shot. A bit of camera trickery there.

    No hating here either, actual total respect. There is nothing wrong with admitting that there was some trickery here involving the camera and editing software. If there isn't...then explain the physics behind the stunt at 1:30 when you fall on the car backwards, go into some pretty insane motion blur then appear to do a 180 and land on your feet? Still an awesome showreel for your stunt career, but seriously...why lie in here?

    Check it out frame-by-frame, I tuck my shoulder in at the last second to land on my back and fall off safely.

    I just want to point out at about 1:32/1:33 he gets pushed backwards onto the car, he does a flip which should have him landing on his stomach but he magically gets turned around and lands on his back
