1. LIVE STUNT PERFORMERS

But isn't that so weird that we only recognize the Actor who has been somehow edited in the stunt as if he himself performed that stunt for his audience? These stuntmen inherent risk of their lives to earn for there livelihood and to live for their passion. But the fame and the Wow moment by the audience are enhanced by the Actor who is shown by the movie makers by editing in the performance. The risk exceeds in Live Audience. In films, visible safety mechanism can be removed by editing, but in live performance, the audience may claim if the performance doesn't get coordinated genuinely. To reduce the risk of injury or even death sometimes, most often stunts are Choreographed or Mechanically- Rigged. And hence, the performance seems dangerous but safety mechanism is built into it. Live stunt performers include Escape artists, Sword swallowers, Glass Walkers, Fire eaters, Trapeze artists and many more slideshows and circus performers. They also include Motorcycle display teams and popular WALL OF DEATH.

2. MODERN COMPUTER GENERATED IMAGERY (CGI) TECHNOLOGY

MODERN COMPUTER-GENERATED IMAGERY (CGI) TECHNOLOGY is considered by many Stunt professionals. While CGI allows Directors to create a stunt that is very expensive, dangerous, as well as impossible to be picturized with real performers. The Backlash has resulted in a new genre of “REAL” Movies Marketed on the basis that scenes generated are Real and “NO CGI” has been used to create the final production of the scene. Some people, such as Buster Keaton, Harry Houdini, Jackie Chan, AKSHAY KUMAR, Pawan Kalyan, Tony Jaa and Jayan acts as both Stunt performers and Daredevils in various parts of their career.
