Breaker & NovaBriar
Hey Nova, I heard you were in a film with some intense action scenes—how do you prep for moments that need both raw emotion and a lot of safety precision?
Yeah, it’s a bit of a balancing act. I start with the script—finding the character’s heartbeat so I know where the raw emotion lies. Then I run through the action with the stunt crew, learning every cue and safety rule until it feels second nature. Between those runs I do a lot of breathing and grounding, so I can tap into the feeling on the spot without the adrenaline blowing my head off. It’s exhausting but it makes the scene feel real and safe at the same time.
That’s solid, Nova. Finding the beat first, then locking down every cue—keeps the adrenaline from turning into a wreck. Breathing and grounding is the quiet gear that keeps the hard stuff in check. I just add a few checks in my routine to make sure nothing slips when the pressure hits. Looks like we’re both good at keeping the chaos from getting the better of us.
That’s the vibe, right? We both just try to keep the storm at bay with a steady rhythm. Keeps the big moments from becoming a mess.
Exactly, keep the rhythm tight and the head cool. That’s how the big moments stay sharp instead of going haywire.
Totally. I just keep my breathing steady, trust the crew’s safety checks, and let the rhythm guide me so nothing slips.
Sounds like a plan—steady breath, trust in the crew, rhythm in the bones. That’s how we keep the storm from crashing in.
