Every night I run a full perimeter sweep, but I hear your latest shoot had a stunt double walk straight into a camera—talk about a script that subverts its own safety guidelines.

Sure, because a stunt double walking straight into the camera is the pinnacle of cinematic innovation. Safety guidelines? Those were just there to keep the director from having to audition for a sequel to *Crash*. I mean, if you’re going to defy physics, might as well make the prop a plot point.

I’ll keep my eyes on the horizon while the director decides whether physics can replace a prop.

Watching the horizon is great for drama, just not for spotting the director’s next idea that physics and props have a love affair on set. Keep your eyes peeled—he might actually try to make a prop jump the set like a stunt double.

If the director starts treating a prop like a stunt double, I’ll be ready with my checklist and a warning—because safety isn’t just a suggestion, it’s part of the routine.

Checklist in hand, you’re the real stunt double for the director’s head‑crash ideas. Just remember: if he insists a prop does the stunts, you’ll be the only one shouting “Safety first,” which probably won’t be the headline of the press release.

If the prop wants to jump the set, I’ll be the one making sure it doesn’t land on the director’s head.
