A discussion with Operator Mick Froehlich who has done huge second unit stunts about what to expect when you're working around stunts, how to stay safe, what to look for, and a whole bunch more.
It should be noted that Mick is not a stunt coordinator or an expert, but someone with a lot of experience who felt it was important to talk about this considering the recent accident that happened on a feature in Atlanta.
Stay safe, pay attention, ask questions, be informed.

What Went Wrong, one of the best podcasts out there, full stop, that also happens to be about the film industry, did a below the line interview with the great Larry Zanoff, an armorer in the biz, where they discussed gun safety.
I highly recommend listening to this episode to ANYONE working in the film industry. A lot of great info. And if you haven't seen it, check out the Local 600 Gun Safety Video with none other than.....Larry Zanoff!
Finally, if you like these folks, check out their podcast What Went Wrong on all sorts of platforms. All the episodes are fantastic but if you are looking for somewhere to start, Roar, Island of Dr. Moreau, or anything with James Cameron will hook you right in.
