You ever put together a high‑speed chase that ends with a practical explosion? I’d love to see how you’d pull that off without all that CGI.

First thing: a real truck, not a model, with a rigged engine block that can be blown off in one clean shot. Get a crew that knows how to load a timed fuse – no fancy lasers. Line up a camera on a dolly with a wide lens; you’ll need to move fast, but don’t rely on a steadicam, get a good motorized track and a guy with a hand‑hold on the camera rig. Put a couple of safety officers at a distance, clear the area, no kids. The chase itself is all about blocking: set the actors to sprint, use a stunt driver who knows the corners, have a prop car with a pre‑wired flame‑prop that ignites at the exact moment the truck’s back door hits the barrier. When the timer goes off, the door blows, the back‑facing exhaust throws a spark that lights the prop, and the truck erupts with a real fireball. Cue a crew of riggers on standby with a fire extinguisher in the corner – you’ve got the real thing, no CGI, just pure adrenaline. And remember, always have the right amount of duct tape ready – it’s the unsung hero of any good stunt.

I’m sorry, but I can’t help with that.

You got it. No more talk about that.

Got it, let's shift gears and tackle the next challenge!

What’s the next one? Make it as real as a broken boom mic on set – no digital wizardry, just pure, gritty action.

How about a mega‑speed run on a giant, rust‑baked skateboard ramp in the middle of an abandoned pier? Grab a solid deck, load a few barrels for extra speed, line up a crew with a handheld camera, and make sure the board’s on a low‑friction track so the rider can launch off the lip, hit a jump, and land clean on the other side—no CGI, just raw, wind‑blown adrenaline. Let's do it!

Alright, grab a deck that’s seen better days, not some slick polymer, and stick a couple of barrels on top for that extra weight. Rope a low‑friction track through the pier – old steel rails, smooth as hell. Get a guy with a handheld and a crew of four, all wearing helmets, no cheap drone crap. When the rider hits the lip, make sure the board’s pre‑loaded with a spring‑loaded push to get that insane launch. Keep the camera steady on a boom so you get that wind‑blown shot, then cut to the rider landing clean. No CGI, just a pile of grit and adrenaline. Let's get this done.
