Hey Jasper, heard youāre filming a new action scene and could use a custom rig ā Iāve got a few ideas that could make it safer and easier to set up. Got a minute to brainstorm?
Sure, grab a seat. Whatās the deal?
First, letās talk safety. Iād suggest a modular magnetic harness that lets the stunt double slip in and out quickly, and can be adjusted on the fly for different angles. Then, build a lightweight frame out of aluminum tubes and attach the harness to it with quickārelease clips ā that way you can change the camera angle without reārigging everything. If you want something more discreet, use a hidden cable release thatās triggered by a simple button on the camera operatorās belt. Weāll need a few measurements, and Iāll bring a spare set of bolts in case any tighten up too much while youāre shooting. How does that sound?
Sounds solid. Magnetic harnesses let the double get in fast, and that quickārelease frame keeps the cameras moving without a full reset. Just doubleācheck the weight distribution on that aluminum frameāno one wants a sudden shift during the drop. Bring those spare bolts, and weāll get it set up. Let's hit it.
Got it, Iāll check the weight spread and make sure the frameās balanced before we start. Iāve got a toolbox full of spare bolts and a few extra tubes in case we need to tweak anything on the fly. Ready to rollāletās get that rig humming and keep the drop smooth.
Sounds good. Let's nail down the measurements first, then we can start putting the frame together. I'll keep my eyes on the weight distributionāno surprises during the drop. Ready when you are.
All right, grab a ruler and a quickālook at the drop zone, and Iāll note down the exact length, width, and height for the frame. Then weāll start cutting and fitting. Ready to measure?
