#stunt work
Since we’re all talking about the reasons why we’re going to miss AoS, can we take a moment to appreciate how INCREDIBLE the action sequences on this show have been? The fight choreography, the stunt work? Some of the best on television, full stop.
I’m enjoying my first real taste of being a stunt person (or maybe even an action hero—I’ve got lines and everything!) working with the amazing folks of Potoo. I’ve always loved the way fight choreography uses physicality as a narrative tool, and I’m incredibly excited to combine two things I love, martial arts and storytelling, on such a professional project.
You can see more behind the scenes shots at Potoo’s Facebook page, and I’ll keep more news coming as soon as I can.
Hopefully this project is the first of many!

Why are the stunts in that shit better than in most action movies of the past decade ?
Passion.

Also, it’s shot and edited to highlight the skill of the stuntmen. It’s shot in full light so you can see everything happening. They never break the 180 rule so it’s relatively simple to follow the action despite it being a brawl between four different characters. While not using insanely long takes, the editor still chose shots that allowed the stuntmen to show off their work. The camera remains relatively steady. This is essentially the antithesis of the action movies that rely on confusing the audience into thinking the stunts are cooler than they are. Here, the stuntmen are really good stuntmen doing really good work and it shows.
