New Bios!

Tuesday, Dec 1, 2009 11:22AM / Standard Entry

The Stunt People welcome five new and not-so-new members:

Amberly Steffensen (previously Amberly Bell, now married to Chelsea), who’s been with us since 2003. We finally offered her a place on our bios page, jumped her, and now she’s official. Amberly’s been a vital part of every project that’s taken place in Redding.

Dave Yoo and Erika Balasabas, wushu extraordinaires who’ve been working with SP for over a year now. Not only do they offer exceptional martial arts but they both have awesome hair.

Jeremiah Esses, Kung Fu San Soo teacher who worked with Chelsea on some test fights and has a major (deserved) role in The Tech. And as confirmed by his photo, Jeremiah can play guitar like no other.

Hiroshi Adachi, Karate practitioner of 650 years and instant master of every acrobatic move shown him.

SP Welcomes You All!!

Darkhan City Times Interview

I had the honor of being interviewed recently by Darkhan City Times for their Elders of the Runestone podcast. We talk about Jet Li, why some action films suck, videogames, and other nerdy stuff. I totally felt at home. Click here for the podcast.

(Me punching Quinn, one of the super nice guys who interviewed me.)

Shooting Dr. Z’s “American Dream” – Days 3 & 4

Wednesday, Sep 16, 2009 11:59PM / Standard Entry

Day 3 – Sept 5, 2009

We started at 8:00 am in Chinatown, shooting in the first thunderstorm I’ve witnessed in the Bay Area in years. The thunder sets off a car alarm. Get some funny looks from tourists while one of the actors (while on camera) shouts “What are you looking at!?” at one of them. Go to get some all-you-can-eat dim sum, and Z fashions a hospital out of the rear corner of the restaurant. I guess white tile walls can pass for anything.

Then we go out to an alley in Chinatown, where nobody really goes unless they live there. The first thing I notice is a frothy white splatter appear on the ground 3 inches from my feet. I look up and see an open window. Later I hear someone getting ready to hock another one down at us and I dodge out of the way. People spit out of their windows regularly there, not to hit people, but because it’s just easier to spit out the window than into a cup or spittoon. One of the extras gets hit with a loogie minutes later.

Finished up, shot some stuff at a basketball court where Z explained that he’s never played basketball, and proceeded to prove it.

Day 4 – Sept 6, 2009

We shoot at Chrissy Field where I buy a $5 grass-fed hot dog. It tastes exactly like a $1.50 Costco dog.

Shoot at Trans America building, shoot in an office, which doubles for 2 offices in the movie, shoot at TA building again at night in the rain, and go home. Boring I know.
